How long have people had their Royal Tea Kettles? I had an electric kettle that just stopped working after &lt;1 month and want to get a reliable one!

btw, there are fill markings inside kettle. Don't overfill past the max mark. It boils over impressively if you do (and that is how I found the fill markings inside the kettle). Alternatively, you could just read the instructions...as I had not.

Is there a UK version of this kettle? I cannot find an all steel kettle anywhere in the UK!

I got the kettle for my brother, and he loves it. I've tried a couple of times at different settings, and it worked well. My brother says the temps are good. The nice thing is that it's a knob; if it's a little hot to you, just turn it down. There's no digital readout to lie. :)

It works perfectly fine on an induction cooktop. I've had my kettle since 1984 and it is indestructible. Funny thing is, on the induction cooktop it comes to a boil so quietly and quickly that at first it seems like it isn't heating. If I can give you some advice it would be to purchase a couple of extra little birds for it because they get fragile and break after a while (like several years). Amazing little tea kettle!

The electric kettle shuts itself off after about 10 seconds after coming to a full boil. If you are not in the kitchen and it cools down, you will have to turn it on again. No problem.

With owning whistling kettles in the past, I can see how it can get too hot on the handle and top. If I walk away and am not conscious about the time, it can get warm, but I've only had it too hot to handle once. Sounds like it might have been over filled if it boils over. Technically only meant for drip, not massive amounts of coffee or tea.

The "hi err" is a error message that indicates that the temperature sensor in the kettle, not the base, is not reading accurately to the altitude you are at. I only know this because I have sent in three kettles all ready. It seems they have had a production run with this problem. The warranty person has been kind enough to test the last kettle before she sent it out. It worked properly the first time I used it and failed after that. I live at about sea level so high altitude should not be a problem. You should send your kettle back so they know of the problem and get a new one. Warranty's number is( 206) 388-1772.

I purchased my teapot in late November and so far I've not had problems with spots or fingerprints but then I don't put my fingers on the outside of the kettle much opting instead to handle it using the handle. I also don't get water splashed on the outside to form any water spots. I do wipe the inside of mine down every time after I use it so that it stays nice. I do have a few little spots that have formed on the inside bottom from use but I got rid of those using a cleanser. So far the kettle has held up well and I've had no problems.

The kettle is quiet & previously I had written that it had stopped working but at some point it started working again and has continued to do so! I really do like this kettle alot.

Not a problem. I reheat water in the teapot routinely. The interior of the kettle is also enameled and not just raw metal so rust isn't a problem....as long as the enamel is intact and not chipped off via denting or other damage. I don't know how long the enameled interior lasts but I'm a seasoned citizen and therefore consider it to have a lifetime guarantee.

No I did not have that problem, the whistle didn't work for me though, even after 3 returns / exchanges for the simplex kettle. And that was a BIG problem. For about $200 the kettle ought to whistle! So I finally just gave up and ordered a different kettle that cost about $60 less but actually does whistle, and sheep skin slippers with the left over money since the kettle was a wedding present, so we had to use the money on amazon. Amazon was always helpful with the returns, so that was cool.

I finally found one at DavidsTea in the store which is a very good quality and when closed, can be shaken, because the top is screwed on. It's in the picture here in the back: http://www.davidstea.com/summer-tea-club but for some reason I don't see it for sale on-line. You're right, it shouldn't be so hard to find a good pitcher, but maybe there's a business opportunity here!

I would call the Company, I have one and it has done really good. I have had mine for about two years and love it. I use it every day, I make all my coffee and tea with the water and that is the only water I drink. I hope you can get it fixed. Wish I could have been more help.

High heat is no problem. My previous kettle was used only on hi heat for 45 years, and there is no warning about hi heat on the new one I purchased. Is the one you currently have a Revere? It's a teakettle, for gosh sakes! You're supposed to use it on high heat ;) BTW, I currently have a glass top range, but have also had this kettle on gas and electric ranges. OK all surfaces that I know of.

The only problem I have had with the electric kettle is that the on/off switch does not stay on and now it has quit. I never have had problems with the base element.
