Well made and stylish. I like the low whistle vs shrill whistle on other kettles I have had. Handle warms up a bit but temp okay to handle - no pot holder needed. I have not washed out after each use
If you drink more than one cup of tea a day, be aware that the directions for this teapot says that it needs to be washed after every use. There was no way I was going to wash a teapot four times a day. In addition, it needs to be filled a certain point. Washing each time would waste so much water. I compromised and washed the teapot every evening. However, it still developed little rust like spots inside. So I washed and put away and intend to use when making several cups for a group. Sorry I bought, but not worth the hassle of complaining and trying to return.
