I own this Kettle ($5 from Goodwill, can’t beat it, brand new, out of the box.) While the seal around the lid isn’t the greatest thing in the world, I love it. It boils quickly, easily heard, the handle rarely gets hot, and it’s easy to clean. Great product in my book, I’d have gladly paid more for it.
Call me sleepy but I missed the whole Hitler Tea Kettle thing when it was raving. Now call me divergent (from this Woot listing), but it’s a stretch for Hitler in my mind’s eye.
However, I clearly see Betty Boop wearing a black clown nose and earrings (OK, so the bangs are wrong, but I can’t help myself - Ah I see it now - Betty Boop impersonating Hitler - with earrings - That’s it!!) B>D

When I saw the tea kettle in a news teaser, I thought it looked like a woman wearing a thong (maybe laying down?). I was focusing in on the body of the tea kettle and not the handle. I assume that it’s really solid silver or whatever and that’s just a reflection. Maybe my mind is just in the gutter.
I own this and love it. After replacing electric kettles at least once a year, I gave up and got this one and I haven’t been disappointed. I have a gas range with a power boil setting and when I use that, this kettle heats much more quickly than any of the electric ones I’ve had. It whistles perfectly and the the handle doesn’t get too hot. Plus, it is bright red and when sitting in the middle of the range in the middle of my kitchen, it makes me happy just to look at it.
