1. Absolutely love it!

   First of all I have no idea about the complaints I'm reading here from some Amazon's users. First of all, the lid is not hot at all. I have no idea how some people can complain about the lid getting so hot it's untouchable. Immediately after the water boiled, I grabbed the lid and flipped it. It was luke warm to the touch. That's it. Not scalding hot as some would suggest. Secondly, I find there is nothing wrong with the handle. It's long enough for me to grab a hold of it and it doesn't get hot. What more can you ask for? I filled the water capacity beyond the limit and everything worked out. I have no idea how some users are saying that you can't put too much water in it because it will spill or whatever. That's just nonsense. As long as you use medium heat, everything should be fine. The whistle factor could be a bit louder but it's decent enough for my tastes.
   
   I'm only deducting a star from this product because I'm not that satisfied when I'm pouring water out of this kettle. Other than that, I love the product. It looks beautiful and most importantly, leads to a healthier lifestyle because I now can throw away my rusted steel kettle.

   I love this whistling kettle. It works just as it should and it's very easy to clean. I recommend this kettle.

3. Dangerously flimsy handle!

   The flimsy handle makes this product very dangerous.
   Less than 2 months after I received the product I was picking it up from the stove when suddenly the handle popped right off.
   I consider myself extremely lucky because I was able to somehow land the kettle on a counter top without breaking it and/or spilling the boiling-hot water all over me. I would recommend avoiding this product altogether and not risk severe burns or lacerations.

4. Great glass kettle

   I was interested in getting a glass kettle for a while. I saw all the positive reviews here and ordered it. It actually came the very next day. Other than making a great cup of tea, my only complaints are that you need to hold the handle pretty low down as to avoid burning your hand from the steam and the spout pours the water out a little sloppy. Other than that, it's a great glass kettle.

5. Hot!

   Beware, the handle gets extremely hot! I purchased this after reading reviews here and while it heats up fast and clean since it's glass there is a major design flaw because the handle is very close to the glass bowl and it gets very hot. Also, when pouring out your now boiling hot liquid, the handle design requires you to really tilt the kettle forward and thus you have steam going straight onto your hand.
   
   Though this kettle is good because it's glass and heats up quick I can't recommend it because of the design flaws which make it unsafe imo.
