I wish I could answer this question, but the item was purchased for someone else at Christmas time. Sorry.

Hi Judith-- the instructions only provide information for stove top so I have to assume they are not, especially with the lid valve design allows you to listen for the whistle. Hope this is helpful. I really enjoy my set!

I've had my kettle for several years now, and it has a high pitched whistle. Can't tell you about the ones that are being sold right now.

No, there's no whistle, and when I bought it there was no whistle attachment. Still, a nice kettle and I've been happy with it.

No it doesnt, if you are coming from the whistling ones (as I did in the past) there is a learning curve on how to use these, you have to follow the rings on the whistle here and let is sit on it for sometime controlling the heat.

Yes, a very loud whistle is created by a "ball and valve" system in the spout. When you pick up the kettle, it should have a bit of a rattle which is that little ball jiggling. You will love this kettle!!!

No, it doesn't. It's hinged and comes back down on it's own. But that's why I liked it...I had burned a teakettle because it didn't whistle and I forgot it.

hello Vanda,it is very quiet. But does beep once boiled. it has a useful keep warm function and heats water to 4 different temperatures. I have not read the instructions so have no idea if the beeps can be disactivated

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!

No.... there is no alert such as a beep or whistle.............but there is a light on the on lever that comes on when you turn it on and goes out when the water is ready. You can also tell by the sound of the water boiling in the pot when it is ready the boiling noise stops. Hope this helps.

The boiling is audible, but it is literally the sound of water boiling, the unit itself is almost silent. The unit does not whistle. There is an LED light that is illuminated a purple color when the unit is working, and it turns off when the water is at boiling point.

Him, mines usually not. It does make noise when its heating up the reservoir of water which is how you have hot water instantly...hope that helps!

I just bought the same one, and it doesn't whistle either, after two tries with two water levels, with water at full rolling boil. Will exchange to see whether another one works better.

Yes but it makes noise similar to an electric tea kettle (boiling not whistling)

This tea pot does not have a whistle on it, I do not use it on the stove top. I use this exclusively to heat water in the Microwave. I fill it up and put in the microwave for 5 minutes. Presto I have a full pot of hot water for tea. I use this pot almost every day.

It does not whistle, it turns off automatically and you can hear the click when it's done. It's not too loud but you can definitely hear it. Boiling is not too loud either. This tea pot is perfect! We use it everyday. Would highly recommend.

No - the flat bottom of the kettle is the hot surface. This is impossible to touch unless you have extraordinarily long fingers. On an unrelated note, the whistle is not loud enough to be heard in the next room
