I purchased the Revere whistling teakettle since Revere has a great reputation for producing a superior product.Our family has had Revere teakettles for as long as I can remember.I have used my recent purchase only three times.I almost burned myself on the trigger connected to the whistle.It is very flimsy,sticks in the open position and becomes EXTREMELY HOT even if you boil just one cup of water.In fact I had to put on a pair of oven mittens after boiling a half kettle of water.I am extremely unhappy with my kettle and will be looking to replace it.
