I was pleased with this at first, but when I tried to clean it I found that the screw holding the lid handle was all rusted and very poor quality. The lid was also rusted. When we tried to clean it, the lid just fell apart. Very dissatisfied.
We love this kettle. Beautiful shade of blue. Works great. I cannot give it 5 stars though because of a silly design flaw. The screw that holds the knob on the lid is already rusting (after 1 week or so of use). It's leaving a rusty ring inside the lid. That screw should be stainless steel and clearly isn't. Otherwise the kettle is so nicely made that this is a weird oversight.
