Can the whistle be removed from base?

Yes, it can ...thus enabling you to remove when you go through an automatic car wash. Item is very well made... Recommend!

Can the globe be removed from the base? I used to have one like this and the metal base rusted so I want if can be spray painted (without the globe on) in case that happens to me again.

The base is not removeable. My previous frother like this one had a cork tray bottom that was removeable. This frother has the black plastic bottom and the glass is permanently set into it.

I don't think the cover unscrews, but rather, pulls apart. There is a set screw used to set the whistle to where you want it for the tone you want. Hope this helps.

Yes, it can be easily removed from the base. Food cleanup - probably easy since it's all stainless steel, but I only used it for boiling water so I can't say for sure

Sorry, not sure. After looking inside the whistle, I'd say perhaps chrome-plating over copper.Perhaps you could contact Acme, the manufacturer. It's a wonderful piece.

Yes, it can be removed, but I prefer the entire unit....it is wonderfully constructed to swivel and move in most directions imaginable.

Unfortunately it does not have a whistle.Please be very careful with the copper base. Our kettle had the base glued on and it fell apart after a month or two. We are very disappointed with the quality.

the base has an electro magnet. I don't know the size. The globe will also have a magnet that is repelled. I don't believe it can be removed.

I use it only at my weekend house and don't remember if it has a whistle. Not only do you need a whistle, but you need one you can hear!

I don't think you can, but it is possible to pry open the top and remove the speaker. (It's right behind the little sound holes on the side of it.) Works fine without sound now.

Yes, the noisemaker part can come out entirely. The hook and loop strap at the back of the head can be trimmed off, if not needed.

Yes, the cap can stay up if you want so you don't get the whistle. And if you want to hear the whistle, I can hear it even when I'm upstairs. Great teakettle.

Although I have never done it, it looks like it does come off. I just gave it a twist and it started to unscrew from the base.

No, not without taking the base apart. The base end is too wide for the base.

It doesn't whistle. The steam shoots out as the pressure builds and it's loud, but I don't believe there is an actual whistle. And yes, that part of the apparatus can be unscrewed, but that may effect functionality.

Yes, the handle can be removed. You just squeeze it together at the base to either insert it or remove it.
