Recommend me a great whistling kettle

[Ridgeway]

Our Outwell folding handle kettle has well, stopped whistling. Cleaned it, soaked the whistle top in vinegar but no joy so may well be easily convinced to replace it if I can find something decent, I’d also be interested in one that was some how more efficient ? Maybe a thicker base for better heat transfer ie to boil water quicker and with less gas.

Any suggestions ?

We bought a cheap one off of one of the stalls at the NEC shows several years ago and it's still doing what a whistling kettle should do.

What was it? I'd like a decent whistler too.

I bought my dirt cheap whistle kettle back in 2005 when I got my first motorhome. other than patching up the lid where I dropped it, it is still going strong without any issue.

I think it is really hard to get one of these wrong and I can't see spending more will achieve anything? But I could be wrong?

All the cheap Chinese ones are a bit crap at whistling.
The decent kettles made from copper or chrome plated copper but too big for a Motorhome hob.

During our tent and trailer tent days we used the kettle managements parents used with there camping gaz stove during the power cuts in the sixties.
It was only when we bought the Duetto we bought a better kettle with a whistle from Magnum Motorhomes near us for a fiver. It’s looking a bit battered now and I have repaired the handle with a nut and bolt but it works.
I admit after ten years we keep looking at the ones in Magnum but havnt got round to buying a new one. They have gone up to eight quid now.

We have one from lakeland, decent build quality and whistles properly, prestige i think.

Ah. My view is if it does the job it is intended to do then anything else is surplus.

Mine boils water, it makes a sound when it is boiling letting me know of this fact.

It doesn't whistle pleasantly in a soothing manner. It just makes a bit of a whistling sound if it feels like it but always enough of a noise to let me know it has done it's job.

How about an expensive Japanese one. It doesn't whistle but you will when you see the price.

With the price of gas I turn it off before it whistles

Sorry I can't tell you what make our kettle is but I can tell you where to buy it.
In 2016 when we bought our motorhome in the UK we were staying in Birmingham while we kitted it out. We went to the suburb of Kingstanding and found a shop that looked like Ronnie Barker's hardware shop in Open All Hours. Everything was spilling out onto the pavement. We bought the kettle from Mr Singh, so it's a genuine Singhing kettle!

That’s a classic

We purchased 2 of these kettles in 2015, one still like the day we got it and the other in storage just in case, we got them from IKEA I don't know if they still do them but if they do you won't find better. Bob.

We bought a Le Creuset one.

Not cheap but what price a decent cuppa

Didn’t know they did kettles, I assume it’s cast iron (heavy) but efficient ?

 

[PrettyandFluffy]

We have one like this, not the cheapest but really good quality and you don't have to put your fingers anywhere near the spout to pour from it.

Mine is enamelled steel. Weighs 1.1kg according to the blurb

Le Creuset is looking good, fancy the Kone 1.6l version just want to check it will fit on the hob correctly

I think it’s stainless steel…we bought it to work on induction or gas as we have both in the van

 

[Folkranger]

You need a thin base for efficiency of boiling. Ours was bought at some caravan shop. Fixed handle but still fits in cupboard. Wide lipped edge base so flames stay under the kettle and not lap up the sides.

It's not very clean at the mo. but you can still see my reflection in it but don't let that put you off.

We have an IKEA stainless steel whistler with the folding handle.

That’s the one we have, it’s great. Fits on the larger of our two gas rings.
