We started with the B&M 2L whistler which was great in every way, except of course, you have to fill through the spout. (Can cope with that, as our water carrier is a supermarket 5L bottle!!) However, my rather heavy handed sister thought she'd do us a favour by going to the stand pipe to fill bottle and kettle up... and promptly returned with her tail (yes, I did say SISTER!!) between her legs... and the whistling spout cover in her hand!!  )
We then "upgraded" to One of these. Got a lid, so easy to fill. Looks the biz, and colour goes so well with PC, don't yer think? The only problem with this, is that it is officially the noisiest kettle in the world!!
Oh no, not the whistle.... it pings, clangs, screeches and bangs it's way from 0 deg to 100 in a way that would not only disturb your neighbour on site, but your neighbour back home, too!! (Imagine shaking it when dry... with half a dozen 4" nails, and a pack of 100 loose staples in it!!).
It's fine when it's cold, but if you are planning on heating it up...!!!!)
It was so bad, we took it back for an exchange, thinking it must be a one off... but the replacement was no better. It's now at the back of the spare room, and we have gone back to the same (a new) B&M green one. We'll just have to keep my clumsy sister well away!!
