Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Revere 3-1/2-Quart Copper Bottom Teakettle
Customer Review: Do not buy this product
Summary: 1 Stars
We had a Revere Tea Kettle for over 20 years. Finally, the trigger broke so we ordered what we thought was a new and identical version. Pure junk. Thin, cheap steel and copper made in China. Worse, it leaked all around the base where the steel meets the copper. We returned it and got a replacement (just a bad example of a great product - right?) and the second one leaked worse. And, we bought a smaller (2 1/2 Quart) one for my in-laws - and it leaked around the base. Revere Tea Kettles shold be avoided.
This is not Amazon's fault - it's just another example of "Made in China" ruining a great brand.
We checked reviews and bought a BergHOFF 11 Cups Whistling Tea Kettle - THAT is very high quailty and exactly what we wanted.
Customer Review: Wonderful Tea Kettle
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Revere kettle tried and true
Summary: 5 Stars
My old Revere tea kettle gave out after many years of use...developed a tiny hole in the bottom. I discovered that you can't just go to the store and get a tea kettle--they don't make 'em like they used to! Others have a removable top that falls off if you hold the kettle at too steep an angle, and you have to push a small lever to pour water out the spout. (That's difficult for me because I have arthritis in my fingers.) The Revere kettle is a no-nonsense workhorse. No cover top to fall off--just pull the trigger and pour. I read reviews of this kettle before buying it, and some complained that it wasn't as heavy as earlier versions. That may be true, but that doesn't bother me. It's still far superior to anything else out there.Customer Review: It Leaks
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been a big fan of Revere Ware products. I liked the teakettle and have used it to boil water on a daily basis since I purchsed it in late May. It's big and sturdy, at least at first. Unfortunatley we found it leaking 2 nights ago while being heated up (not even to the boiling point yet). The leak was bad enough to put off the flame completely. The gas leak was so bad that we had to keep all our windows open for an hour for ventilation. The same thing (flame being put off) happened again twice today and it's a good think that I was right in the kitchen to catch that both times. We've decided it's too dangerous to continue use. I just wrote to request for a replacement since it's still covered by the 1-year warranty.Customer Review: Classic Whistler
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an easy to use, quality-built, whistling tea kettle. I bought this for my mother-in-law, who has difficulty opening other brands' kettles, and tends to leave things on the stove too long. This one is easy: just pull the trigger and it is open for filling or pouring. There is no center opening to complicate matters or provide an opportunity to burn fingers or frustrate arthritic hands. The copper bottom transfers heat quickly so water boils before she forgets it is on. The whistle is a must. On that point, however, this whistle seems to fill up with water, instead of vapor, and spit as much as whistle. Thus, the 4 instead of 5-star rating. Strange, because we own a slightly smaller version which works perfectly.
