Will the whistle cover flip up and stay up if I choose not to have the whistle?

Not sure what kettle the two folks have that said no but yes, it will stay up. As far as the chipping, my kettle is on a hot burner for 6-8 hours a day, 7 days a week and has been since Christmas. Mine has no chipping and it basically looks just like it did when I got it.

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.

It will stay up. I have done this by mistake and luckily I remembered to check on it before the water completely evaporated.

Yep, it stays up. Had this kettle since Sept of 2012 and no problems with the enamel so far.

Yes,I bought this for my mom and she only uses the whislte if she is going to be out of the kitchen when she has it on. It has been used daily and no problems with enamel chipping, beautiful little kettle.

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.

You will have to keep it open unless the phone is on speaker. I usually fold the cover back and speak or put it on speaker, since the phone is so big.

Yes it does stay up for me. But I prefer to wear it around my neck or head to cover my ears but does work well for covering your nose and mouth area.

Yes, you can adjust it so that it doesn't whistle by lifting the little cap off the spout. But isn't that the point of having a whistling tea kettle? So you know when the water is boiling?Contrary to another review, we feel this is a very well made kettle and are extremely happy with the quality of the piece. I sent two others back before we settled on this one.

Yes, it will stay up. No problem. It is thinner than neoprene half mask however and the air is going to go inside a little more but it is according to how cold nature you are.

We have always kept a cover on ours so I'm not sure what would happen if you didn't. Ours is still very beautiful and we love it.

Yes. I carry it in my back pocket while walking and have practiced reaching and taking it out and an accidental discharge would be unlikely. It isn't a flip top, there is a protective cover over the release lever. You have to stick your finger in the gap and press to discharge it. I think it is a good design.

There is a flip cover that can be locked in the open position or closed position or left unlocked. If locked in the open you don't have to mess with the flip cover at all.

I bought mine a few months ago and I always keep it in the cover and I never had an issue. I hope that was helpful.

The cover pretty much stays closed on its own due to the shaped leather. I haven't had any issues with it flapping open on its own.

No, flipping down the cover simultaneously flips the power switch off. Aka, it takes two steps to turn it on (flip open, flip switch) but one step turns it off (flip close)

Well, the whistle tells you it's done. Without it, you could potentially leave the room and come back to have found all your water boiled away and damage your kettle. I also think that it forms a seal so that the heat stays inside and your water heats faster. So the short answer is yes, if the whistle bothers you, leave the thingy up and you won't hear it, but I think there are potential drawbacks.

You press lever to open spout-cover and this stops the whistling...then yes, the spout-cover remains open until you close it manually. Note: Be SURE lid on top of pot (not spout lid) is firmly closed, because if not, when you pour, hot steam will escape from lid onto your hand.

No, it will remain in whatever position it was flipped to. The switch is manual and clearly marked as to the pressure of the water that will come out. Hope that helps! :)

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.

I don't think the cover unscrews, but rather, pulls apart. There is a set screw used to set the whistle to where you want it for the tone you want. Hope this helps.
