Mainstays 1.8-Liter Whistle Tea Kettle, Stainless Steel

This Mainstays Tea Kettle is a basic yet good performing pot. It's definitely affordable and I've always used this brand. Holds 60.9 fl oz and whistles to signal boil. And because we're having water shortage, I heat water for hand-washing dishes. Better than running water until it gets hot. Therefore, my kettle is doing double duty. Lasts for years. Materials of stainless steel and nylon made in China.

Base measures 7 ¼” in diameter Measures 8” tall with the handle up The handle has a 2 1/4” space allowance for hand between the lid knob and the handle itself The lid has a center knob with a black covering. The lid does have a set of three evenly spaced cut out notches that seem to help keep the lid steadily in place. The handle has a black covering, but I could still feel the heat when I touched it. The handle itself folds to the right but locks in place in the center. After letting the tea kettle rest for 30 minutes, the water was still hot and so was the black part of the handle and the knob of the lid. Two hours later, the water is still hot. Impressive!! The spout has a lift for a thumb or finger to move and it locks into place Inside there are two fill lines. One is for minimum fill the other for maximum fill. At maximum fill, it took a little over 6 minutes to come to a singing boil. At boil, the kettle whistles. It’s not a high pitched screech, but a gentle whistle – which is a nice change! The sides are easy to wipe off, the water does not leave spots on the sides.

What an awesome teapot. Always wanted a whistling teapot and now I have one. As usual, Mainstays has great products. This teapot is not only stylish but easy to use. Now I don't have to stand over the stove to watch a pot of water boil. I just fill it, put it on the burner, and forget it until the whistle blows. Great teapot.

The “Mainstays 1.8-Liter Stainless Steel Whistle Tea Kettle” works real well and looks good with my existing stainless steel appliances too! It is just the right size and when full it is very easy to handle. If it was larger I would not be able to lift it and would certainly have trouble pouring it. The handle is made just right for my hand and I have had no problem pouring the hot water from it. It really does whistle and is very easy to hear. I would say this is a "perfect' little tea kettle and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

My new Mainstays Tea Kettle is a must for a good cup of hot tea. Being made of stainless steel not only makes it durable but beautiful decor for any kitchen. I love that the whistle signals you when it's ready. I would definitely recommend this item. Thank you.

The Mainstays 1.8-Liter Whistle Tea Kettle is a shiny addition to any kitchen. I am hoping the kettle will last for years with its stainless-steel construction that makes the kettle rust and corrosion resistant. The 1.8-liter capacity (just over 7½ cups or 60 ounces) is enough hot water so that if your family has a variety of hot water drinks (tea, hot chocolate, coffee) for breakfast or anytime there is plenty of hot water for everyone. It heats on any stovetop (flame, electric, induction, etc.) and really does emit a whistle when the water is ready. The kettle heats water so much faster than the saucepan I was using. The kettle has a removable lid with a handle to seal the fill opening. It also has maximum and minimum fill lines to ensure optimum performance. The fill lines are engraved in the side of the kettle so that you are able to see it inside and outside the tea kettle. The modest design of the spout makes it easy to open by pushing down on the lever and the spout cover pops up and you are able to pour. The tea kettle features a coated and curved handle to offer a comfortable grip making it easier to lift and pour. The handle also bends to the side to make filling the kettle easier. The handle did get warm but not hot; I used a potholder to pour. I tried to capture the steam in the photo, but it did not show in the picture. The tea kettle is handwash only. I highly recommend the Mainstays Whistle Tea Kettle and I give it 5 stars. Note: I received this product as a promotion.

Small, but loud and efficient. The loud whistle from this tiny kettle wakes and annoys my young adults in the mornings - 1 floor up. They were so vexed they bought me an electric kettle for Christmas. Nah! l think l'll stick with this cutie!.

The day we got this stainless steel tea pot we put it to use. My wife told my three girls we were going to have a tea party. The all got decked out in dresses and hats and waited for the pot to whistle. At first we were disappointed because we didn’t think it was going to whistle when it was ready. To our excitement we were wrong. They loved it and it worked great. The kettle cooked down rather quickly and was easy to clean.

My Mainstay 1.8 Liter Whistle Tea Kettle is so nice. I love the way it fits in my kitchen and on my stove. It has two lines on it for max fill and a min fill. It has a loud whistle on it to let you know its ready for you. It comes with a flyer full of interesting instructions. I was amazed there was so many. For a stainless Steel tea kettle I just assumed you fill it and put on your stove. Not! So be sure you do read them. The kettle is a little lighter in weight than you would expect being it is stainless steel. I do really like my kettle and I highly recommend the Mainstay 1.8 Liter kettle. It does come in many colors so it will go with any color scheme you have in your kitchen.

$7 is the worthiest small money I spent on this cute SS kettle. Handle is a half circle, not like the picture but what's the difference. I bought it to replace the broken electrical kettle, this little guy works great on stove.
