having seen no comment on this kettle on amazon, I was hesitant to receive a whistling kettle that whistles do not ... what a nice surprise! the hiss is very beautiful and strong enough to hear if we do not stay in the kitchen it starts slow and not if you turn off the gas continues to be louder .. she is very beautiful, j 'have been delivered in 5 days. The handle is not even hot when boiled water. Perfect product I would definitely;)).
