Laura Ashley China Rose Stovetop Kettle with Whistle - 2.5L Fast Boil Stainless Steel Kettle Stove Top - Silicon Coated Cool Handle Camping Kettle for Gas, Induction Hob - Compatible with Aga Stove

Very pretty and substantial tea kettle. It will discolor slightly on a gas stove if you let the flames go up over the side, but that’s not the fault of the product. Loud but pleasant whistle. My mom loves it!

I love its overall look , very pretty& well made . The whistle is more than loud enough to hear when I’m not in kitchen . VERY important: read instructions carefully. This NOT a teapot , it’s a tea kettle. Big difference. Tea pots do not go on the stoves burners as some reviewers learned the hard way. If you want your tea or coffee quickly, then this is not for you . Do not heat on high or the flames ( gas burner ) or the beautiful design on kettle will be discolored , ( hubby did that ) , use a potholder or you’ll burn yourself, remove it from hot burner after use . I am not rushed to make my tea so this is perfect for me . More info in instructions, I’m sure . I would buy this again& not let hubby use it

I LOVE my kettle it’s a lot more price effective than the checkerboard ones everyone’s getting and it’s elegant and matches my decors. Great quality and price I give it 5 stars!!

I love this tea kettle. It's beautiful, sturdy, and the whistle is loud. There are two flaws that are worth mentioning but not bad enough to make me return the kettle. In the instructions it says to use a pot holder on the handle when pouring. That instruction solves both problems but I'm too lazy to do that lol.First is the lever on the bottom of the handle. The heat protection material is only on the top and bottom, leaving a thin stripe of metal going all around the edge. This gets hot and you have to place your finger carefully to avoid it.The second flaw is above the lever on the main part of the handle. The heat protection material does not go as far forward as I'd like. Since I have to place my finger in a certain way to avoid the metal on the lever, my hand needs to be closer to it and more forward on the handle. When it's sitting upright it's fine. But once I start tipping it to pour, my thumb wants to go on the hot metal part for leverage. If that description doesn't make sense, look at my photo.Again these are slightly annoying but not terrible. You just have to get used to holding it a certain way or use a cloth. I still love and recommend this tea kettle.

Kettle is beautiful of course as it is Laura Ashley. I have always loved all Laura Ashley products, but this product misses the mark miserably.The design is extremely poor. Holding the handle and pressing on the spout spring is awkward. My hands can barely pick up the kettle and pour. The height of the kettle itself, coupled with the weight of the water, and the handle design render this product useless. I am sooo disappointed. It is not easy for me to return this so Im just aggravated at this point. I do not recommend you purchase this kettle, especially if you have any issues with your hands, like arthritis or weakness or of your hands are small.

Gorgeous tea kettle. The handle does not burn you like many people have said in other reviews. Maybe they have huge hands?? But neither I nor my husband can figure out how people are getting burned on the handle. The kettle body will get hot to the touch after boiling because it's metal, but if you hold the handle you'll be fine. I love how large this kettle is. Beautiful design. Whistle sounds great. Lid stays on nice and tight. Lovely addition to my kitchen.

I’ve had this kettle for two months now, yellowish discoloration has started to come on the exterior of the kettle, cannot be left on the stove near heat or it will be stained. Also, it is heavy and handle is designed too high for pouring. It really doesn’t work well for my hands struggling with arthritis. Also, make sure you grab the handle with a pot holder because the area gets too hot and silicone pad doesn’t cover the whole area your hand will be exposed to whilst the kettle is hot. Whistle and water capacity are great, Yes it looks beautiful, no, I would not buy it again. I’d prefer something lighter and more functional and with a sturdier finish that could tolerate heat indeed!

When you hold the teapot, it feels very solid like it will last. The finish is satin smooth to the touch and the eye appeal is perfection. I never tire of looking at this tea kettle and its beautiful images. It's a joy to use and see. The sound is also more pleasant to hear than usual. Whether the handle is hot or cool depends on how much water is in the pot so this is variable but I would keep a pot holder handy.
