Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Farberware 50123 Classic Tiburon 2-1/2-Quart Whistling Stainless-Steel Teakettle
Customer Review: museken
Summary: 1 Stars
This kettle was the worst kettle we ever owned. The handle got super hot. The plastic broke. The biggest thing is this kettle took for ever to heat up. In the morning you want to get out the door. This kettle would start to boil by the time you got to work. One thing, get a kettle with a copper bottom I'm not going to name any products in this review but Paul Revere was a great hero of mine. I love tea. For those that don't really understand copper is a great conductor, thats why its in the wire in your home. Heat and electricity are both forms of energy what would you want boiling your tea stainless steel...HA! No Way!Customer Review: Cutest teapot but mine burned
Summary: 2 Stars
I was looking forward to using this teapot. It was the perfect size and had an adorable bell shape. I did read the reviews of the low whistle sound but decided to try it b/c it was such a cheap deal at the time...Well, needless to say that I burned the pot after the second use b/c I did not hear the whistle. My other teapot, a stainless steel... is really loud. But I liked the Tiburon for the heat resistant handle. Anyway, I did not get enough use out of it even at the bargain price. I give it 4 stars for style, handle, and the prop up spout but 2 stars b/c of the poor whistle that led to it's very short life...Customer Review: Impossible to reach inside to clean

I had this product for 2 months before I ran into trouble. Someone in my household had set the burner on our gas range too high; the kettle overheated, became discolored, and the water inside was badly clouded. It had been used only with filtered (reverse osmosis) water, but somehow the inside surfaces were lined with crud. I needed to clean the inside with some fine steel wool to remove the crud. Because the lid opening is far too small to fit my hand into, it was impossible to clean. I threw it in the trash and decided never to buy a metal tea kettle again. The next one I'm going to try is made of clear glass.Customer Review: You really can't beat this, especially for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read multiple reviews before I decided on a teakettle--mostly because I didn't want to spend a ton but wanted something that would last. I'm really pleased with this teakettle! I am amazed at how quickly it is ready, and the water stays warm for a long time, which makes it easier to have multiple cups of tea during an afternoon. I read the review about using it on the electric flat-top stove, and I also have that type of stove and have experienced no problems like vibrating. The whistle is loud enough for me to hear when I'm upstairs, too--which is another big benefit! I definitely recommend this teakettle!Customer Review: Loved it 'till I burned it! Whistle not loud enough.

I have only had the pot for a little over a month. I was boiling a little water and went upstairs to check on the baby(located 5 steps up to the side of the kitchen) and forgot about the pot on the stove. Needless to say the pot turned a light shade of bronze after the water boiled off. I really did not hear the whistle go off. The pot that I had replaced was very loud. Overall, the Farberware Tiburon pot is nice ...easy to fill, pretty stainless look, and has an attractive shape. I would like to buy another one except that it still has the same quiet whistle. Still a good deal if you are extra careful!!
