The idea, of not being able to see inside, for cleaning and inspection, warns me not to buy. Anyone else concerned about this?

I use this kettle for heating water only, so the need to do any type of deep cleaning is not needed. I love my Revere kettle and use it multiple times a day.

Since there's never anything in it but water, I figure I can put soapy water in it, shake, and rinse, and that should do it.

What would there be to be concerned about? It's only for heating water.When the lid on the spout is held open much of the bottom can be seen.When I clean the kettle with vinegar I look at what I can see and if that part is free of lime ~likely the rest of the bottom is also because the vinegar/water filled the pot.

No, of course not. It is an excellent pot and frequent use prevents any sediment buildup. Also, use a flashlight to see inside.
345389
No, because it's to be used for boiling water. There is no need to clean or inspect.

I am not concerned. I have been using this particular whistling teapot for years as well as my mother and she lived to be 92 years old. Water is boiled inside so there can't be any problem as the water is boiled. It is also made in the USA. I would be more scared to use a pot that came from China since we aren't sure what is in the metal.

It doesn't concern me, for two reasons; 1). Since it's for boiling water, and not any other liquid, there's no reason you'd need to clean it beyond a simple hot soapy water rinse occasionally. 2). This item has been around for a very long time and hasn't been known to have problems. Having said that, if it just skwigs you out that you can't see inside, don't buy it, nothing wrong with your feelings. It's not the 'be all end all' kettle; it's just a simple gets-the-water-boiled kettle. I've had one in the house since I was 18 (51 now). I bought a Le Creuset enamel on steel zen 10 years ago, trying to be fancy I guess, and it rusted, the lid was super hard to take off and was heavy. I went right back to the Revere kettle and never looked back.

The ones we have replaced in the past have all had calcium deposits that eventually flake off and cause replacement. Use water only in this kettle and this situation will be all you will encounter. Take precautions and this kettle could last 40 years like in Pamela Meggyesy's comment.

Not at all. You are boiling the water inside each time you use it. I rinse mine with water each time I use it, and then boil the water. I have used mine for 40 years with no problem and just bought my daughter one for her home.

Oh dear: there are too many things that might cause this problem for me to answer. A cleaning cannot hurt, but I don't know if it'll solve your problem.

No, but see about vaccuming out accumulated dust. That can perhaps be a problem.

You have given me valuable info .Might be a reason not to but another Dorcey if there are no light replacements .Not a good sign.I will try looking into this. seaBee

I have not used it inside, partially because I think it probably would create dampness and mold issues (and because I will never get my garage clear enough to do it).

I had the same concern, but this doesn't seem to be a problem. The previous answers pretty well sum it up. Remember to buy the locks.

In case anyone is interested, here's the link to Consumer Reports' review: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2014/03/detergentless-laundry-systems-struggle-in-consumer-reports-test/index.htm and a response from the vendor: http://media.nbcbayarea.com/documents/pureWash+CR+response+paper+4-23-14.pdf . I do wish Consumer Reports had "busted out the microscope" as my needs, to take care of a sick family member, require killing microorganisms far more than stain removal or saving money.

I can't tell through the package, nothing that can be open without damaging the product out.

Had the same issue. I could live with that but not the interior cleaning issue. Food results great but after about four or five meals interior was impossible to clean. Started to set off my smoke alarms. Decided to return it.

I can not see from the outside in, but my eyes are not that good. I can see if there is a light on inside the house, but can not make out any figures.

No not at all! I had the same problem. I feared my parents would find out but no! There is no description of the content on the package which is great!! Your roommate will not know what is inside!

If the door is closed, you shouldn't have trouble with dust getting onto the items inside. Just got one of these. Looks nice!

My seem does show but it's not very noticeable. It's on my bathroom window so I needed the privacy, if it was on a window I saw all day it might bother me more.
