Great Tea Kettle
I am very pleased with this tea kettle. I was hesitant after I read some reviews that indicated it poured sloppily and dripped. I trust KitchenAid so I bought it anyway. I don't know if these users were trying to pour through the whistle hole or why they had trouble. I open the whistle top over the spout (it has a silicone covered lever) and have had absolutley no problem pouring from this tea kettle. It heats water quickly and pours easily without dripping and has a great warranty. It also comes in great colors!
Nice look but needs a fluted spout and is not rust-proof
The good: this kettle looks very nice, and it's got a rubberized grip so you can pour immediately after taking the kettle off without having to worry about burning yourself.
The bad: the spout is not fluted, so if you're tilting the kettle up to get the last of the water out, the hot water runs around the edge of the spout, falls off in half a dozen places, and makes a puddle of steaming water around your tea cup. If you happen to have your hand on the cup's handle, ready to take it away, you'll burn yourself.
Also, this kettle rusted within six weeks of purchase. I do not recommend this kettle for anyone intending to get serious use out of it.
Lovely in red
I've had this kettle for about a year now and it looks so good on my stove. The handle stays cool and I like the little spout lid flipper. No burned fingers removing the whistler as on my old kettle. When pouring water, it does tend to splatter, but I've found if I wait a short time, then pour, that doesn't happen.
