This tea kettle is stylish and very easy to use and clean. You can throw separate tea leaves in the middle or bags in it. The tea that comes with it is the best tea I have ever had.

I just received this black tea kettle, and found it is the same style as the red one, which has the removeable whistle - not the lever-style spout shown in the picture. This was actually my preference, so I am not disappointed by the error.

I have only used the kettle a couple times, and have no issues so far. It has a very flat bottom which is good for my flat-top stove. The inside is entirely enameled, so I don't think it will rust, though the instructions say to keep the inside dry when not in use. Finally, the phenolic (plastic-like) handle rotates up into a locked position, and the instuction say not to rotate it back down, which should keep the rivets from loosening.

[One star deducted for fit-and-finish of handle assembly: adequate, but not visually appealing. Cannot comment on long-term performance at this time.]

4.0 out of 5 stars A good looking, working tea kettle, January 7, 2008

What is there to say about a tea kettle? it handles the tea making just fine. The design is overall appealing, especially since I have matching teacups from another company. Like another review said, this comes with a removable whistle over the spout, not the lever.

Cons: Besides the lack of the lever from the picture, the whistle is not very loud at first, so take that as a pro or con as you see fit.

Also, the whistle is not going to work unless you completely close the top of the lid, and properly secure the whistle to the spout. Otherwise the steam just flows out random openings and does nothing.

Only other downside is that the top of the kettle is kind of hard to remove, especially if you can only grip the little black nob due to heat.

Overall, a working, good looking, teakettle, but I bought this for about half price. I wouldn't suggest it for its normal price though. If your going to spend over fifty dollers for a kettle, make sure its one you want.
