Amazon.com Review
Designed with a retro look, this tea kettle is similar to Revere's original copper-bottom cookware that was so popular in the 1950s but offers updated materials and a lighter weight. The kettle is made of durable and brilliantly polished 18/10 stainless steel and has a copper bottom for excellent heat conductivity. The kettle holds a maximum capacity of 3-1/2 quarts of water, equivalent to six 3-1/2-cup servings, and has a whistle in its spout that sounds when water is boiling. The kettle's handle is made of phenolic plastic, which stays cool during boiling and has a fingertip trigger that pulls to up the lid for pouring or refilling with water. This kettle should be hand-washed and the copper bottom will require polishing in order to maintain its brilliant luster. This kettle is covered under a one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Wonderful Tea Kettle
In the market for a good tea kettle? Then look no further.

When the time came for me to get a tea kettle, this was the one I looked for. I grew up with this one in the house, and it's just as great for my needs. Ok, being single, 3.5 quarts may be a bit bigger then I normally use, but I just add as much water as I need and set it on the stove. The water heats quickly. Steam sets off a whistle in the spout, and it can be heard with ease in any part of the house.

I looked at other Revere kettles, but found their handles and spout openers to be rather flimsy. Not so, here. This kettle will last for quite awhile.

As always, Revere has made a wonderful product. It's so easy, even this bachelor has no problem heating water.

The Kettle That Could, Tried and True
So it is not the most beautifully designed kettle whose stylish exterior would enliven your kitchen. It also does not open and allow easy cleaning. BUT I have used mine since 1976 and it is still going strong. Never, ever had a problem with it. The whistle can be heard all over the house, so you know when the water is ready. No guess work here. It is light-weight and can be lifted and used with one hand. All of it's wonderful qualities that I took for granted were magnified for me when I recently decided to buy a new kettle. After all, 28 years warrants a new kettle, right?

I bought the Analon, which had no reviews, but looked oh-so-pretty. It is so heavy I need both hands to just lift it, when it is not filled with water! The snazzy squeezable handle that operates the spout barely opens and it is awkward to use. The whistle is almost non-existant, and the water takes forever to boil. It makes the tea preparation process a chore, not a joy.

Having learned my lesson and scouring these pages for reviews of good kettles, I decided to buy this model again. After all, it is the kettle that could perform on all the necessary levels. Tried and true.

Must Have One in The Kitchen!
I've had my little Revere kettle for more than 8 years now, and it's still going strong. It heats up water evenly, and the water doesn't bubble out the spout when the kettle whistles. The whistle isn't piercing, either, and my kids like waiting by the stove to hear the whistle since they know that means it's time for cocoa or soup or oatmeal. The only problems I've encountered are cleaning ones: It's difficult to clean inside, but a mixture of white vinegar and water swished around for a few minutes, followed by a cold water internal rinse, does the trick every couple of weeks. I've given up on keeping the copper bottom clean. I would ove it constantly shiny, but it's a pain to keep doing. And since I keep the kettle on the stove, it always gets splattered with grease, oil, sauce, and other stuff, and cleaning the kettle's surface sometimes leaves streaks. Other than that, it's a sturdy, durable kettle!
