Does the kettle get hot to the touch?

I imagine that the glass part gets pretty hot, but we've always held it by the handle and never had a problem.

Yes, but the handle is fine to touch. Mine ended up breaking as I had poured my water and left the switch on when I placed it back on the base, the heating element had no water and the unit did not turn off. Burned out the element and it became a paperweight. I did love it while we had it!

Yes. The base ,lid and handle stay cool,you can set the carafe on a table. But the glass is very hot to the touch.in 3.5 years I've never burnt myself on it, but I would keep it away from children.

Not really .. there is a little noise when it first starts to heat but it gets quieter and quieter as it comes to the boil.. nice Kettle..

The handle gets hot; however, I enjoy the kettle so much that using a hot pad is not a problem.

Never! I have had the kettle for years and apart from a slight cosmetic blemish on the outside from when I forgot to put water in before I turned on the flame, it is just like new. It doesn't wobble, its whistle is Met Opera quality, and it still shines. I love it.

No it absolutely does not get hot!I boiled water in it and it even boiled over without heating up lid handle.

Somewhat safe - I still think it might be hot on your hand, but maybe less so than on a gas stove. I think the heat travels up the handle from the kettle's pot itself. The handle appears to be a combo of plastic and rubber - and tends to get hot enough all over that I usually use a hotpad or my sleeve to pour when the kettle boils.

Nope. My kettle works wonderfully on my gas stove at highest heat. No melting, no discoloring, nothing. It's great!

Yes it does. I remove mine from heat once it's boiling and it remains hot throught my third- fourth cup of tea.

Yes. Once the water boils - the kettle shuts itself off. It works great - is fast and really convenient. Great buy!

The heating element is not exposed to water (I assume that's the question?) I had feared that would make it heat more slowly than another kettle I have where the element is exposed.

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

not unusually so. I have only reheated coffee or tea for about 30 seconds and have not noticed the mug getting super heated.

No - this kettle is amazing. I really don't know how I lived without one for so long. And their customer service is tiptop.
