Nice quality kettle, but the 6 cup kettle i bought splatters and shoots boiling water out once it hits boiling point. So not only do you get the whistle..but you get boiling water spitting and shooting out of it. I think this is just too small for its own good.I usually only fill it part way to keep the eruption to a minimum. Also my elctric stove I only use this at about a 6 or a 7 so the coils don't get too hot.Think twice on this cute and small kettle. I put a picture up of this eruption in action.
