This beautiful, lightweight tea kettle is one of the best I have ever owned. Unlike my previous metal ones, it can't rust (and the handle stays cool!), and unlike my previous electric water heaters, it will never transfer plasticky or chemical odors or flavors.
I am careful when I wash it, since it is glass, but I usually only need to rinse it with water before I use it again. It helps to use only filtered water, to minimize hard water build up. Plus after boiling water, I leave the top off the empty kettle, so the water can evaporate off of the hot glass, minimizing water stains.
With my electric range, I have to keep the heat at medium to medium-high, otherwise the bottom of the glass can burn and discolor. This means it takes a little longer for water to boil, and since I don't have a whistle, I have to remember to check on it. I would consider this to be the only drawback, but it isn't a big one.
Overall, I absolutely love this kettle.

I loved this tea kettle when I received it for Christmas a few days ago. However, when my husband went to wash it, he "clinked" the lid against the kettle accidentally, and the lid shattered into over 10 pieces! He barely knocked the glass! We would have never expected even a crack, and yet the lid shattered and is completely useless.
I would look elsewhere to find a more durable glass kettle.

I absolutely love this tea kettle! I have had it over a year (using 3-4 days per week) and no problems with breaking or cracking like the other reviewers stated. This IS a glass tea kettle, so obviously caution should be used when hand washing and handling it (duh). I highly recommend this product!
Pros
- Clean pour
- Clean taste
- Cool handle see review
- Discount code available
- Larger capacity

Comments about Teavana Alasdair Glass Tea Kettle:
I've owned/used this kettle for about a month now. After reading other reviews, I've never used the lid, and it works fine without. It's a nice clean pour. I read mixed reviews about the handle, and here's what I've found- since the kettle base is smaller than my large burner, if I use it on the large burner the handle is over the heat and it heats up. It does not happen on the small burner, or if I use the large burner but place the kettle a bit to the side. Decided on this glass one because I'm tired of rust... looked all over the net and this is the best I found for me. Small logo by handle is hard to see in the picture.

Comments about Teavana Alasdair Glass Tea Kettle:
I bought this tea kettle in Chicago and loved the look! The handle does not get hot which is a plus. However, the lid popped off while I was pouring water from the kettle and broke. After reading other reviews online, the top is a problem. However, it is beautiful to watch the water boil.

I love this kettle and I'm often asked where I got it. It looks great on the stove or counter and with experience, you can gauge the water temperature by the boiling bubbles.
Pros
- Can see the bubbles
- Very pretty
Cons
- No replacement for lid
- The top breaks easily

Comments about Teavana Alasdair Glass Tea Kettle:
I called to see if there were replacement tops to this pot because the top broke while I was pouring tea. They do not offer a replacement which leaves me with a topless tea pot :(

Comments about Teavana Alasdair Glass Tea Kettle:
I have had mine about 3 months and have used it less than once a week. I love the way it boils and
that it is made of glass. But, I personally think that there should be a warranty on the tea pot. I have never put it in the dishwasher and have not used it that much. The bottom cracked when I started to boil water. Maybe the glass needs to be a little thicker. I think I will try a different pot next time.

Comments about Teavana Alasdair Glass Tea Kettle:
I was hesitant to purchase this tea kettle after reading the concerns regarding the lid. My lid fits securely on the my kettle, and as an extra precaution, I hold the lid in place with one hand, while I pour with the other. This kettle is beautiful enough to sit on my counter, and I love being able to gauge the water temperature by watching the water bubble. I expect it will last a long time with extra care. I would definitely recommend, and repurchase this item.

Love the look and quick boil. But dropped the lid and would love to replace just the lid.

Comments about Teavana Alasdair Glass Tea Kettle:
In a search for a non-leaching teakettle which has taken us to Chantals(enamel)top of the line....which rusted on the welding joints, even with great care. We have found this glass teakettle that Teavana offers. While it is light weight, it is still relatively strong and it fills our requirements perfectly! No change in water taste and best of all NO LEACHING of unwanted toxins! Very attractive too! Highly recommend!!!!
