Excellent x2
I was gifted this tea pot from my mom a couple years ago. It was a Gevalia promotion that she had gotten with tea. I used it *DAILY* for a couple years.
Pros:
Water boils quickly.
Whistle is just right, not too loud or too quiet.
It looks nice enough to be left out all the time.
Tips: Drain the water completely. Leaving water in it for a long time can make it rust. Don't go above medium heat and you will lengthen the life of this tea pot.
I accidently set my too hot tea pot on a cheap trivet and melted the trivet to the bottom. I searched high an low, and finally found that Amazon carried this one. So I purchased it hoping it would be the exact same one, and it is! It still has the great quality and quick boil time. I've been using this one, again daily, for a couple of months and it is still in perfect condition!
SinFULLy StainFULL with rust developing eventually
I can't emphasize enough - Buyer Beware! Beware of most off-brands these days, even those touting "stainless".
Because they're sinFULLy stainFULL rather than stainless.
This kettle developed rust stains on the inside base corners, after a couple years of use. By then it was too late to return it to a local store. You better believe, I was furious at the ripoff.
Another off-brand example of stainFULL is the "Chefman" electric kettle. Just read some of the reviews and see. I'm so thankful to those reviewers for bringing it to my attention, since they helped me avoid a repeat-letdown of my CreativeHome experience.
Sorry, but rust is NOT supposed to happen to stainless steel! Nor should you be required to swab it down! After all, I have another stainless kettle by a well-known brand (complete with GH seal of approval) which really had alot of use, yet never developed rust stains despite not "babysitting" it.
Yeah, I use the term...
Nice sturdy kettle
This is a nice sturdy kettle. I wanted a smaller one that was just plain instead of ultra-modern or some wild color. I'm very pleased with this one.
