. Gave me a wholly unacceptable customer service reply. Told me I mistreated it - I wrote back and stated exactly how I used it those five times, all to their instructions. They say they “don’t cover this type of damage under warranty”. TWO WEEKS it lasted used per the instructions and they only offered 40% off a new one. I’ll definitely not make the same mistake a third time. Taking my money elsewhere. Suggest you do the same.
Solid teakettle but the wooden handle at the top is very susceptible to heat. I regularly take the top of the kettle off so water doesn't collect inside and deteroriate the finish but that has led to the handle losing some of it's finish already - and I've only had this maybe 4-5 months.
You're definitely sacrificing some usability for the style, but it is looking sharp on range.
1.0 out of 5 stars Embarrassing to give someone else’s returned gift!
I gave this to my partner for his birthday today and inside was a gift tag for someone else. VERY TACKY!
Admittedly, I haven’t had this very long. But I’m pleasantly surprised. I was hoping not to hate it, as I’ve had a lot of crappy tea kettles. But I actually really like this one. The handle stays cool, the whistle is nice, and I really like the way it feels and looks. It would not have been my first choice based on looks alone so I was a bit hesitant went I decided to get it (a purely stylistic concern), but now that I have it, I am very glad that this is the tea kettle I picked.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love everything about this tea kettle!
Really happy with this purchase: first of all, I was looking for a smaller kettle that wouldn't take over the stove. And it had to have good design, and whistle. Check, check, check. It has this cool. clean modern design (but not too extreme). For once, I read the instructions, and plan to keep it for a long time. I was a little concerned about other reviews that said the whistle was puny, but have found that not the case. It's not a pretty whistle sound (is there such a thing with a tea kettle?), in fact, sounds rather like a cat being stepped on once it really gets rolling (good enough for me if I'm in the other room). I fill it properly (according to the instructions) and make sure the lid is snapped all the way on, and point it away from cabinetry (not sure if that makes a difference but figured it was probably better). It boils; it shrieks; I make my tea. The wooden handle doesn't get super hot but I still put a towel on it anyway.You really can't go wrong with Hilton Hotels in any part of the world. When I first started traveling internationally during the 1980's (yes, before you could really Google anything), our default hotel was always a Hilton. Always reliable w/no surprises...Generally, you don't want surprises when you're half a world away from home. Trust me on this one!
Still use them to this day.
Yes, happy wife, happy life...Thus, since my wife loves this stuff and I love my wife in this stuff, well, what else can one say?
Higher priced, but great value. No problems to share here. I recommend them highly!!!
How do you not like these guys? I'm a capable handyman for most things around my house. That being said, the guys...and gals at my local HD have always been great. I don't require lots of attention, but when I do, they are always very helpful.
Product selection is always good (better be for a "big box" type of store), pricing fair and competitive...
O.K...it's very simple. Manage your expectations, realize what you're paying, understand what you're getting, keep your perspective and enjoy the store. If you need it cheaply, and it's here...BAM, you're a happy camper. Otherwise, go somewhere else and "quit your $#*!in'!
Yes, the luster has worn off this "gem". Interesting concept and the deals were good...in the beginning. Now, well, my advice is to move on. Sure, sign up, give 'em your email and get flooded with more useless junk mail and then try to "opt out". Psst...they don't understand "opt out". Nonetheless, this should be a "pass" for you! There, you've been warned.
For your magic tricks/supplies, you MUST check these guys out. Huge selection of illusions, from the inexpensive to the little more so i.e. pricey ;-) Online chat makes it easy if you have any questions. Heck, they even answer the phone if you call in directly (just don't press 4, or you'll have to talk to a penguin...don't believe me...then, try it) Anyway, this is my first stop, and usually my only stop, to re-supply or just to see what's new in the world of magic. And, although this seems obvious, shipment usually occurs the same business day. If not, certainly the next. You know what I mean...when I order something, I want it fast (now isn't soon enough...lol). Product pricing is very good, thus, high value for any item. They even have a price matching guarantee which I've never had to use. Again, great pricing equal great value!!
Also, if it's not in stock, you can't "add to cart" so you completely avoid waiting for who knows how long for a trick/illusion to be delivered while they still have your money due to a back order. Some sites are notorious for long delayed shipping for an out of stock item while still having your dollars Penguin will let you know by email when your item becomes available...then, you can order.
If you find what you're searching for on QVC, then it could be a good buy...but, candidly, it's never a great buy.
Consumer electronics e.g. TV's, computers (any type) are rarely a good deal at any time even though the QVC personalities, and sometimes, the manufacturers rep are telling you otherwise. Simply, their target market for most things, certainly electronics, are the "less sophisticated" about these sometimes pricey items.
I've purchased other small "stuff" from them and all went well. Never would I buy a higher ticket item here. Thus, the average 3 star rating.
Simply, how could anyone not like Amazon? This is absolutely one of the best online retailers that you can visit.
Huge product selection...great pricing....fast, free 2 day shipping (Amazon Prime...plus you get movies), great customer service (only had to use once in hundreds of orders...), etc.
There may be sites as good as Amazon, but there are certainly none better!
Now, to be fair, I don't get "everything" at Walmart, but they always get the first look from our family. As for me, if I need anything and I can get it at Walmart, BAM! I'm at Walmart. What else is there to say.
Great site for all your sporting good apparel needs. I've ordered many pairs of shoes from Adidas.com and all have been shipped promptly and arrived in a timely fashion. The clothing is always "top of the line" too. I've never had to contact Customer Service for anything...so, that's a good thing.
One thing tho, I can't ever seem to find any "Air Jordans" here...the link must be missing!
Relax...I'm teasing. You'll never find a pair of Nikes on my feet. I've been a "3 stripe" guy forever. So, if Adidas is where your loyalty lies, this is the place!
Simply, not a good experience from any perspective. Remember your mom telling you that you could find something good about anything if you looked hard enough? Yea, you remember!!!
Well, good ole mom was incorrect. She was absolutely dead wrong and had no knowledge of proflower.com or proflowers.com (notice the "s" in the domain name).
This place is terrible. I don't need to repeat the negative specifics...just read the other reviews. I don't know how they are still here.
So, in closing, I agree with the other negative reviews. You've been warned. Enough said....
Do you want a place to get all of the hobby stuff anyone could ever want?  Well, here it is! Of course, it can't have all the different hobbies covered, but if you're looking for most, I assure you that you can find it here! Whether it be model rockets, trains, arts and crafts, painting, books, brewing, paints yada, yada, yada, this is a "must visit" site.
As I stated earlier, their prices are cheaper than anywhere that I've found overall. Delivery is prompt and reasonable.
If you're not careful, you'll not only find what you need for your present hobbies, but you'll probably find stuff for a few new hobbies too!
First of all, you must be interested in "high end" (cost) kite flying. To the normal person, spending $250.00US on a kite is absurd. I agree (but I still buy em).
I've had nothing but great chocolate dipped strawberries from Shari
