4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful kettle that heats quickly, March 3, 2010

I bought this kettle a few months ago and use it daily. It heats water very quickly and is easy to pour without dripping water everywhere. The beautiful metallic red finish is what caught my eye in the first place, as well as the cute round shape. The only drawback of this product however, is that the finish chips rather easily. I accidentally hit the side of it with something I was putting away and the finish flaked off in that area, leaving a tiny silver spot in the middle. The lid edge also has a few very small spots where the finish came off too. I was able to mask them quite well with a touch of red permanent marker fortunately. Overall this is a great little kettle for the money and if you are a bit clumsy in the kitchen, make sure to keep a red permanent marker on hand!

Shipping was excellent and quick. These comments are solely a reflection of this product. I was amazed that when I got the kettle there were some design features that really should have been caught but not enought for me to return the item. 1. the knob on the lid is in the way when you reach for the handle. I.e. the picture of the hand holding it at the back of the handle. 2. on the water guage it is frosted on the back side, making it difficult but not impossible to see how much water you have added. 3. I had one before that was double walled so the water stayed hot. This one is not so the temperature drops rather quickly. Luckily it reheats quickly. Overall it does what I expect.

I bought this pot a few days ago. chose this one because the on/off switch seems sturdier than the other pots i read about. heats water VERY quickly, with no chemical taste or smell. parts don't feel cheap, handle stays cool, though outside of the pot gets hot (though not so hot it will burn you). plenty of clearance between handle and pot so you won't touch it when you grab the handle, and easy to read water level gauge. very satisfied so far.
