The Smeg WKF01 is a stovetop whistling kettle designed in Smeg’s signature 1950s retro style. Rather than being electric, this kettle is meant for use on hobs (gas, induction, electric, or ceramic). When the water boils, steam passes through a built-in whistle in the spout, alerting you that the water is ready. With a generous 2.3 L capacity, a cool-touch handle, and wide compatibility across hob types, it blends vintage aesthetics with functional utility.
