VQ Laura Ashley Elveden Navy 3L Stainless Steel Tea Kettle Stovetop Whistling Teapot for Induction, Gas Hob or others. Silicon Coated Cool Handle & Push Button Mechanism Vintage Stove Top Kettle

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 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.

This is a beautifull kettle & has worked out well so far.

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.

You don't have to buy more than one of these stylish and durable kettles. I have had many kettles that were cheap and always rusted. I don't like my tea microwaved especially when I'm making iced tea it's worth the money and also makes an impressive gift. You also don't get burned when you grab it off the stove plus it whistles!

It's very pretty and heats up fast. The whistle is not very loud - not sure if that's a good thing or not. Because it is tall in relationship to the center of gravity - I have to use 2 hands (one on the handle another with a pot holder on the bottom) to pour the water out.

I love the pattern, but I was disappointed to find a light stain under the spout of the kettle. The stain a few months after purchase, presumably due to the heat.

This is adorable. Good quality
