"I live in Belfast, Northern Irelnad and could not find this here so got what I wanted from Overstock. It is a very quiet kettle which might seem odd but I use a gas cooker and when the kettle comes to the boil it is not as noisy as others I have used. The only thing wrong was after a few uses a tiny black line dent appeared on the lid which I believe occured during the making of the kettle. I am not bothered by it and would not return it as the hassle of sending it so far and waiting for a replacement is not worth the bother. I imagine it is a 'one of'."

"This little teakettle looks like a teapot but it sits on the stove and you can boil the water and then add the teabags. It does double duty and no one would know the difference. I love it."

"I have only have this kettle for a few weeks, but so far so good. I really like the color, I bought it more for decoration, I have used it a few times and it worked great. I buy often from Overstock, from furniture down to bedding, I have been satisfied so far."

small but cute, June 27, 2009
By darlndd123 from Holden, MA

"The tea pot is adorable. It is small but for 2 people is perfect. I wasn't sure about the red, as it turned out, it is a deeper red than in the picture. It really is a good buy."

"Nice looking teapot, however there is a warning label inside the package that says "When using on gas ranges, use medium flame. Do not allow flames to reach handle." I have a gas range and would not have purchased this item if I had known about this warning beforehand."

"Love the tea kettle. Very sturdy metal and construction. Tthe handle stays up, plus the handle does not get hot which was a concern with other reviews of other kettles. It is everything I had hoped for in a tea kettle. Excellent quality."
