need a new kettle after letting our current one boil dry leaving a nasty brown crust on the bottom and a slightly melted base.

anyone know whether there is an electric kettle with a whistle (kitchen is a long way from the lounge… figure it should save me re-boiling water when i forget that i’ve just put the water on to boil) available on the market?

something like this, but whistley….

Why not get one which automatically turns off when it boils?
Which is almost all of them in the UK.

It goes cold by the time he remembers he put it on to boil 🙂

when it just turns off i usually forget and end up reboiling the water wasting energy.

cheers

Electric kettle with a whistle, never heard of one. Gas kettle with whistle yes.

Alessi do one but it’s £150.

They do sell the whistle to go in the top quite cheap though. Not sure if fitting something restrictive to the vent on an electric kettle thats not designed for one is a good idea though as might cause leaks due to increased pressure inside.

edit: or the one posted!

No.

Never heard of such a thing 😉

..er .er… SILVER??

hmm… that Morphy is electric whislte, i guess… plus, don’t much like the shape.

want an old school whistle.

might buy the Kenwood one and source a sit-on-the-spout whistle from somewhere….

cheers people!

..er .er… SILVER??

Fake 😉

surely any electric kettle will need a cut-out switch anyway (as a safety device) if you stick a whistle on the top it will only whistle for seconds before the cut-out activates and switches it off.

what happens if you don’t hear the whistle for those few seconds?

don’t much like the shape.

WHAT??? You care what damn stupid SHAPE your flipping arsey kettle is??? I bet you’ve got cushions too. Cushion bloke.

Whistling kettle loveliness …

Rendo – will still be steam coming out. Restricted spout means it will take longer too.

But boiling time is grazing time?

Sorry but how will a retricted spout make it take longer?!

sorry Dez… GF is a designer (said with some nonchalance) so it’s her fault.

and yes, we have cushions…. 😕

That doesn’t really work with stove top kettles, which is where you need a whistle, otherwise it’s pointless.

We’ve got this, boils water like a cheap kettle does but looks great

Alessi Bird Kettle

They also do a stove top version.

I just rest a tea spoon on the On switch – kettle boils, button pops up, clatterclatterclatter. Aside from having to repeatedly fish spoons from behind the units, it works a treat (i’m aware this doesn’t answer the question, but this is STW)

otherwise, maybe tape one of these to the spout?

Seriously, £136.95 for a bloody KETTLE!?!?!? That’s worse than cushions that is.

“Oh, it was a present.” Liar!

It wasn’t, and I have no intention of justifying it.

Price / Hours of usage = still probably ratio higher than most bikes on here.

Though I did have a Hinari £5 from Woolworths one that worked just fine for 27 years.

Mine was £12 and gets more use than my bike, how is that remotely relevant??! duh

I have no intention of justifying it.

That, however can not be argued with.
Wanna buy a kettle?

i know this is out there but forget the electric for a minute – just guy a camping kettle and use the hob?

Mine was £12

Yeh but I bet it looks shit.

Anyway we’ve got this one now as the cream whistler didn’t match our kitchen. I’ll be selling the bird one on eBay.
doesn’t whistle though 🙂

Yeh but I bet it looks shit.

Maybe, but it looks like quite like a kettle to me!
