If you flip the whistle up will it stay up and out of the way while you are pouring or do you have to hold it up?

The whistle will stay up and out of the way. It's a little difficult to operate both the spout and hold the kettle at the same time with one hand, thus it's a good thing it stays open.

Yes. In fact, you have to be sure to press the whistle cover DOWN if you run off and leave the water boiling, because you won't get a whistle otherwise. So: You decide - up or down, it is your choice.

No, you must hold it open to pour it...it does not stay open on its own. Mouth opening on small size too. Overall, did not care for it. Try looking into the "utiliTea" by Adiago electric tea kettle and "IngenuiTea" by Adiago tea bag infuser. Both excellent products also on Amazon. After using, won't switch back to tea kettle! Good Luck!

no and why would you want it to stay open . if the water is hot the steam escapes from the spoutand could cause a burn. i love mine it cleanes nice and has a strong whistle to it.

Yes, the whistle/cap is spring loaded and opens with a trigger. Release the trigger and it closes. No, it will not stay open.

Just purchased it in 5/2015 and mine stays on without holding the handle. The handle moves from side-to-side. But as listed in my review, it is SLOW pouring - taking 5 minutes (yes, we timed it) to pour a gallon jug. So we're thankful that we can set the timer and walk away - without holding the handle to keep the water flowing ;)

That it does! Though I will be honest, I've never tried to shake it without holding the top. typically I hold the top and the bottom and shake. But never has it leaked

The little flip part that covers the drinking hole in the top does not seal tightly, so if the cup is turned on its side, the liquid will drip out. As others have said, this is a great thermos if it it stays upright, but if you need a complete seal, get another. Hope this helps :)

Yes, you do have to manually open the spout. If you leave the spout open, it will not whistle.

Yes, just do not close off the spout while boiling... This kettle reaches the boil soon compared to others. I love the whistle feature in terms of safety. I love this kettle.

The top is a funnel, snaps into place. I've dropped mine upside down while full. It didn't spill. On concrete, or carpet, spilling isn't an issue. It's quite protected from spills.

Yes. With the stopper in place it will not spill. We have taken the stopper out of my son's cup , so if it is laying upside down it will spill out.

Yes, it will stay up and NOT whistle if you don't want it to. I rarely use the whistle when boiling water due to how loud it is.

No you don't have to hold the ring. You just turn it sideways and it pours out.

The higher up you hold it, the faster it disappearsYou can control the flow or not.Hope this helps

I usually just keep pumping until it runs out. If I'm in a hurry, I hold it upside down over the sink.

Yes, the kettle can be used so whistle does not sound. Spout cover has two positions. Closed with whistle. Open for pouring or no whistle. The cover is in either one of those two positions depending on how you set it. It does not spring close automatically.
