We love this tea kettle. You do need to take care of it and not have the heat go over the sides of the kettle and not overfill. It is 1.8 quarts, to be exact, rather than 2 quarts, so if you want a really large one I wouldn't pick this teakettle. The size is fine for our family of 6.

Good kettle. However, the handle becomes loose and it is hard for a man to get a hand in to tighten it. Also, we burned it on stove. Our fault. Can it be used now? All water burned out of it.

Great tea kettle - love it. Easy to fill, easy to pour, stylish - matches our kitchen appliances, handle stays cool to the touch. Wouldn't have any other kind.

Kettle performs well; the capacity is plenty large enough for us, handsome in chrome - the but is, the whistle is so feeble that it can't even be heard across the kitchen (when it works), let alone in the next room. It could burn out for not being aware it is ready. I like the pot and hate to have to return it over the whistle; on the other hand, I wanted a whistling pot for its warning. What to do?

Generally very good teakettle, does what it is supposed to do - boil water. The angled fill opening limits the amount of water that it will hold, but no surprise there. My fiancée had trouble pulling off the lid, because the friction fit is very tight. However, grasping the main handle and then reaching into the lid handle with one or two fingers, it is easy to pull off the lid by just tightening your grip. The whistle is loud enough for us, the construction seems sturdy, and the insulated handle is easy to pick up and open the spout. We haven't had the teakettle long enough to know if there will be a problem with rusting or mechanical failure, though it seems these are minimal risks. The instructions specify not using full heat on it, but I am not sure why. So far we are satisfied with the performance, and like the style. The blue enamel is a great color, and seems well applied, with no rough or missing spots.

Zappos carried this kettle at the best price online. Their service was extraordinary. The kettle is fantastic, stylish and sturdy. I am a very satisfied customer.

I had never heard of Zappos but they were they only seller that had the teapot in the color we wanted. The price was competitive, the shipping was free and it was the fastest delivery I have ever gotten online. For me Zappos is now a "to go to place".

I love this red tea kettle! The color really brightens up my kitchen. I'm enjoying this kettle very much.

This kettle has been great. Nice whistle, sturdy construction, no rust that I've seen yet (we didn't have that problem with previous kettle either - I wonder if the kind of water one has makes a difference?). I had kind of hoped that the whistle top would automatically descend into place each time (so husband couldn't melt this kettle like the last one!), but it's not quite that automatic. Still, I love the construction and the look and am really happy with this tea kettle!

We loved this kettle - it is easy to use, does not have an annoying whistle, and is stylish looking. Unfortunately, after less than 2 years, the whistle popped out of the spout and the lid fell apart and is irreparable - all within a week! I would love another but feel it should not fall apart that quickly.

This is a kettle. It's heavy and nice; it's more than adequate. The paint is thick, so I don't think it will rust quickly if you empty it at night and dry the lid, per the instructions. It's probably going to last three or four years. I had this kettle for eight years and just replaced it. I never opened the lid or emptied and dried that one, and when I looked inside, it was all rusted/corroded. I'll take better care of this one. I ordered and returned four other stovetop kettles; this is the heaviest and best.

Fabulous functional product, this little kettle has everything. I love the handle pouring release. I was worried about it at first but it seems very sturdy popping up and down with the lid. The kettle is also very easy to clean (The lid is an optical illusion. It only seems like there is a tiny hole at the top!) & I love the colors, the purple matches my kitchen fabulously!

Kettle is well constructed and so it is very heavy even without water. When the water is added it becomes too heavy for me (60 year old). So I'm sending it back for something lighter.

Very happy with teakettle. I have the stainless one in our second home and have never had a problem with it, bought this one because it brightened up my white kitchen. Of course, you can't beat Zappos for ease of ordering & speedy delivery!

Just what I was looking for! I wanted a purple tea kettle to coordinate with my Le Creuset Cassis-colored cookware. Very subtle color and the always excellent OXO ergonomic design. Blazing fast delivery by Zappos!

Love the color and look, however is inconsistent with whistling, which was one of the most important aspects for me!

This is the second one we have owned. Easy to keep clean, easy to use, and has a nice modern look to it. We love the silicon handle. Hope they keep making them! We use it to boil water for a French Press, highly recommend this 2.0 Qt. size.

T whistle works, if this tea kettle is filled no more than halfway. Otherwise, it will be burned to junk if the temperature is no more than medium of two extremes: Low and High. The handle is plastic on the middle metal cover, and if the heat is too high, the metal cover will melt down those plastic legs of a handle and there will be no way to open this Tea Kettle which is very tight even if is cool. For such a high price OXO was able to make this handle from stainless steel and to paint it in black for aesthetic and long lasting use to prevent melting. The design is very nice, but this item is overpriced compare to similar size Tea Kettles. In general, OXO products are well designed, but overpriced with no exceptions.
