Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had many kettles, the last two from Cuisinart (china made cheap)- they all leak, rust badly , or softer parts (whisttle, etc) melt on the gaz stove.
After a long research I settled on this "crystal clear" kettle but was so disappointed to see that the side of the kettle was ALL AROUND full of warnings in many languages. I thought it was absolutely ridiculous and ugly and I was planning to return it and gave a 2 rating.
(The edit does not allow me to change the rating which I would now put at 4, given what's out there)
Then I started on my search again moving way up in prices only to find out that the kettles I wanted are lined with tin, or nickel, etc and that none of that is entirely safe, or is it? After finding some info on the web I decided to stop my search for now.
So, I re-unpacked Clara and I am using it. The whisttle is not very loud unless the kettle is full but at least we are not absorbing all kinds of metals. So, I am keeping it. And with the steam during the boiling one does not see the writing on the side so, fine.
So hard to be a wise consumer.
UPDATE:
Clara got a crack on the spout and I had to decide whether to buy a new one but luckily I found a german made clear kettle at bedbathandbeyond that retails for $9.99. This is now my choice. I bought a second, pristine looking one to be used when I have visitors. Usage of a clear glass kettle on a gaz stove leads to marks that become difficult to clean overtime.

Clear as crystal, the Clara Water Kettle is made for those who appreciate transparency as much as design!The body and the handle of this stunning kettle are made of heat-resistant, borosilicate glass. The use of borosilicate glass in a water kettle testifies to BODUM's sensitivity to the need for natural and non-reactivematerials, which are odor and taste free and do not taint water. The Clara Water Kettle has a capacity of 1.75 l (59 oz).The Clara also features a whistle that alerts users when water has reached its boiling point. The blue accent color used in the plastic grip, the lid's silicone gasket and the whistle intensifies the impression of thewater's purity during the boiling process. The Clara can be used with electric, ceramic or gas stoves (not induction). For microwave use, the lid and whistle need to be removed.All parts are dishwasher safe.
