I love this product. unlike the stainless steel tea kettle i dont have to worry about it rusting out. i like that i can put this in the dishwasher to clean it. i have not had the problem of the hot handle like some reviews have stated. they must be using too high of a fire. it doesnt take long to boil either as some have proclaimed.

I had been looking for a pyrex tea kettle for quite some time. I finally went to the internet and overstock.com came up as a place to purchase it. The kettle is perfect. When you use a metallic or ceramic tea kettle, you either keep adding water or once in a while you empty it, swish some water if there is not a removable top and only a spout and then start again. But with the pyrex one, you can really see the inside. It is easily cleaned with a baby's bottle brush. The kettle even came with a piece that sits on the stove (either electric or gas) to ensure there would be no breakage from the heat. The price was fair, exactly the price of other tea kettles.

This is a great product but since it's glass be forewarned that you have to handle it carefully. Also, it cannot be left unattended since the lid is plastic and melts easily.

GREAT PRICE AND SINCE IT'S GLASS I KNOW I'M NOT GETTING TOXINS.

This is my dream tea kettle. I can clean it, I can see its clean and I can be assured that I will not catch a water-born illness from a funky tea-kettle. I know that boiling water generally assures people that it is safe to consume but somehow I manage to imagine that something survived. Its not pretty like most tea kettles but function matters more than form in some cases.

I was using a 1qt. sauce pan to boil water for tea, but in west Texas a quart of tea only makes one glass! Iced of course :) I was looking for a tea kettle that would be functional, larger than 1 qt. and included an alert to draw me back to the burner to retrieve my prepared water before it began to boil away. This item satisfies all my requirements and does so efficiently, as rapidly as practical, and reliably. I have used this for a little over 1 month. The included heat spreader protects the kettle from the coiled electric burner, but is not really impressive, just necessary. This item, without the labelling closely resembles a Bunn commercial coffee carafe. It will handle 60 oz. (12- 5oz. cups) It will not handle 12 "cups" (8oz.) That means it is 2 qt.s, NOT 3 qt.s. You can still make a gallon of tea, just double the tea and steep a little longer, your concentrated potion will dilute just fine to the gallon you crave. This is especially delightful if you dilute by pouring your 2qt. double strength over 2 qt.s of ice to dilute it! That'll cool your mixture, dilute it to taste and it won't melt the ice in your glass immediately when you serve it! Be sure to sweeten your tea to taste while still HOT, and don't steep in the kettle, it's only for boiling the water! I didn't buy this to impress anyone, so if you don't like the permanent labelling, better buy something else. I only had to reduce heat minimally to protect the handle, but it's never been hot when I took it from heat. Don't fill to metal band, that's too high!

This was exactly what I was looking for, the only drawback is that it takes a little longer for the water to boil sincw you cannot put the electric stove on high.

We had a stylish teakettle with an annoying whistle like a foghorn. The top also shot off at times while the water boiled. Then we were left with no teakettle, and I'd boil water in a pot. I ruined several saucepans after forgetting about the water. This teakettle solved that problem!This teakettle is a fun design. It whistles, which was important, but the whistle is not piercing. The handle stays cool while you pour the water (unlike previous teakettles I've had). Overall, I am very pleased with this teakettle.

Not user friendly! If you don't read the WARNING on the lid telling you to remove the lid before starting to pour (and most people don't read the thing - its brown on brown) you start pouring and the lid falls off into your antique teapot or your carefully compounded sauce. Yikes! Not only that, but on my gas stove the pot handle gets way too hot to touch without a potholder.

Excellent product and excellent service! Price was very reasonable as well. If I had to suggest an improvement, I would advise making the kettle larger.

Love the pot so much that I am ordering another one for what ever.

Looks and works great, also great price I shopped around.

I love that this: is see-through glass, doesn't leech metals into water, comes with a ring for electric burners, has a very pleasant and mild whistle. The only small negative is that you can't turn the burner up to high, so it takes slightly longer than a metal teakettle to boil. no biggie though.

I had a beautiful glass tea kettle that I really enjoyed. I paid $65 for it six months ago--and then while cleaning it I broke it in the sink. I searched for several months looking for another tea kettle and found this one for only $19.00. I ordered two of them just in case I broke one again. It is even better that the one I have paid so much for--because it whistles when ready---and reminds me it is on the stove. I love it. Thank you...

Every moring, I use this glass pot to boil my water on the small hot plate that I purchased from Overstock. I have it next to my bed so I can boil water for my coffee in the morning. My family bought it for me because I'm so crabby in the mornings before I have my coffee. It works! They're happy!

Bought for my elderly mother. It was just what she wanted. She liked to be able to see how much water so that she does not have to lift more water to the stove them needed. It cleans up easily and is used daily.

Actual capacity is 6 cups not 12 as described........rip off. The whistling is so poor and low you have to be standing 5 feet from it to hear it,

I've been looking for a glass tea kettle that whistles. I also wanted one made of borosilicate glass. This is a gem of a kettle and the price is very fair. I can't find anything comparable for the price. The whistle is pleasant and the water boils quickly (I have a gas stove). I am a bit extra cautious with it because it seems delicate but I've used it dozens of times since I recently purchased it and couldn't be more satisfied.

This was exactly what I was looking for as a tea kettle for my smooth top stove. The water heats up very quickly and the whistel is loud enough for me to hear from any room on the same floor! A must if you are looking for the perfect glass tea kettle!
