Question: Are these new kettles inferior, and more flimsy, than the old ones?  I read that they were bought out by someone else in 2010.
Document: I am extremely pleased with this tea kettle. I have had many whistling tea kettles over my lifetime, but I definitely like this one the best of all. Aesthetically, it is a beautiful tea kettle and has an old fashioned charm. It feels very solid and not flimsy at all. In the past, I have had tea kettles that once they whistle and you go to pour the hot water into your cup or tea pot, they sputter all over the place -- sometimes even splashing your hands a bit!
I owned a Simplex gas tea kettle for many years and it was a great product while it lasted. When it came time to replace it, I purchased a new Simplex Heritage Gas Tea Kettle which looked exactly the same in the picture.Don't be fooled, while the older kettles (made in England) were a very high quality product, the new Simplex kettles are a piece of junk.The second I unpacked the kettle I noticed that the weight was a fraction of the old one.
I bought this kettle for my daughter. I got it a year ago and it looks like it was just purchased, still shiny and new. The whistle is in the lid and quite loud which is what I was looking for since she is hard of hearing and if she's in another part of the house she can't hear it. This one she can hear! I got the one for gas stoves. It was quite pricey but I expect it to outlast the less expensive ones.
Love it. Made in England. Not in China. I read reviews that said it did not whistle loud enough. If one puts the lid on (I have the little opening facing the spout) and presses down a bit so you hear a snap it will whistle loudly. The other complaint was that it was flimsy. Well the inside is tin so it is not to heavy.
I bought this as a replacement for my old (beloved) Simplex tea kettle and the quality is not as good. When I try to pour (boiling) water out of it, often the spout is blocked by something (the whistle mechanism?) and the water pours out around the lid instead, scalding my hand. Also, the lid is hard to take on and off and the knob on the lid comes apart.
After a period of stopped production, I was thrilled to see they were making this kettle again. My husband ordered a new one for me (he always felt bad for the dent he put in my old one). It doesn't whistle. The lid doesn't seal tight against the kettle, and that beautiful loud whistle is glaringly absent. I would have returned it, but he was so sweet to order it for me, I didn't have the heart.
I bought this only for the shape and design.I have owned three or four exact same tea kettles.They all discolored inside and rusted both in and out. Had to throw them all away.The weight, and design for pouring are comfortable. In addition, it is the only attractive tea kettle not made in China.
I just got the first run of the 2012 back-in-production simplex kettles, and its quite beautiful out of the box. Honestly, I want to love this kettle but something is not right. My family had the traditional copper simplex kettle as a kid and I immediately sensed this new make (coated with chrome) feels lighter. It also sounds like a toddler learning to whistle, lid tight down, even with a little more heat than you should use according to the directions.
They also reduced the size. I also noticed that the welds on the inside were very badly done. To make matters worse, the top simply did not fit. One had to push it to the point of almost bending the whole kettle in order to produce a seal good enough for the whistle to operate. Even when working, the whistle was a joke. Nothing like the old Simplex Kettles. To make matters even worse, the handle was too thin and completely loose.
We are drinking more tea than ever. I am certain I have bought my last kettle and would recommend this to anyone (easy to clean as well and the kettle that Williams-Sonoma sells)
Answer: They do appear to be. We are on our third one and the first was the best! The second was lighter on the handle and the whistle did not work. The third works well although the bottom part surrounding the spring fell off. We love the look though and wish it was a little more sturdy!
