Medelco 12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettle (1)

Heats well and cleaning is easy. Nice to see when the water is close to boiling and the whistle works! Nice for glass top electric stoves.

I've been using this kind of kettle for many years! Good and easy thing in the kitchen.

I bought one of these many years ago. I used it every day for so long I can't remember. I tried to figure out when I bought it, but my Quicken only goes back to 2008. When I finally needed this new one it was because I hit the old one on the stove and broke it. It IS glass. But I'm sure that I hit it on things before. It's good glass.

Like the fact I can see inside the teapot. Please be aware, handle gets hot, so you will need a glove or hot pad to remove from stove. Watch children around teapot. Had to use a couple times to get the whistle loud enough to hear. But work good now.

Yes, it looks like a diner throw back from the 60's but it's great!. The best feature is the the handle does not heat up. You can remove the teapot from the stove without using a potholder. It's easy to pour as the handle is on the side in the correct position for pouring, not on top of the kettle where the steam from the hot water burns your hand. The whistle is a mellow whistle not that shrill screech you get from most teapots. The shape is not domed so the water boils a bit faster as there is less "ait space" to heat in the pot. Easy to clean, it's borosilicate glass. I purchased 2 just because I liked it so much. So much better than any "fancy high end" teapot.

Makes hot water easy . You can see water starting to bubble. Easy to clean

I was terrified at first because glass on a stove but it works really well. I've used it many times. I fill it to the line from fridge water and put it on the stove and then turn the stove on. My stove heats up pretty fast but it hasn't bothered the glass to go from cold to hot. Definitely be sure to read and follow the instructions given. If you have a coil stove, use the little clover coil thingie and make sure you use it on the small burner. Love this kettle. Would absolutely buy again. Also it has the most dramatic whistle I have ever heard. Adorable!

We purchased this kettle less than 6 months ago and used it very gently only for serving coffee or tea after it was already heated elsewhere. It was never exposed to heavy use, commercial use, or abuse. In our home, only one person regularly used it, and it was handled with care at all times. Unfortunately, the glass cracked and completely separated around the top neck area near the handle, as shown in the pictures. This is a major safety concern because this part should not fail so easily under normal household use. A product like this should be made with stronger, more durable glass material, especially around the stress points near the handle and lid assembly. I contacted the seller hoping for support or a replacement, but I was told nothing could be done. I understand accidents happen and products can fail if abused, but this kettle was treated extremely carefully. When something breaks this easily during normal use, it raises serious concerns about the overall quality and durability of the product. I have purchased similar glass kettles locally in the past at a similar price point and never experienced this kind of issue. I chose Amazon this time for convenience, but the quality was clearly not the same. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this product. The pictures speak for themselves. Please be careful and consider other options before spending your money on this kettle.
