Personally I think the handle could use some improvement. It could be shaped a bit more rounded and most importantly - more heat resistant. Sometimes it might be a good idea to have seniors help with the design. Seniors have thinner skin, making hands more sensitive to heat plus arthritic hands which need smoother curves on handle.

I am so disappointed with this teakettle. I spent a lot of time researching before purchasing and regret not believing reviews referring to this kettle rusting. This kettle has a good design and shape and is convenient to use. The big drawback is that it rusts and you are not supposed to leave water in it. Rust even builds up on the lid at the base of the black knob which must be caused by the steam. If this is stainless why is it rusting ? I know this will not be around for 20 years as my old tea kettle was
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great kettle except water pools up under the lid so that when lid is removed to be refilled, water drips from it on to counter or floor or whatever you are holding it over.
I would recommend this to a friend!

its a teapot... it heats water... it became discolored after a couple of uses. Its noisy when heating up that's about all probably wouldn't recommend this teapot. Cuisinart issued this one after a more expensive one rusted on the inside..... you would have thought they'd upgrade the quality not replace a faulty product with a downgraded teapot...but it does make water hot

I bought this tea kettle six weeks ago and these are the pros & cons I have experienced.
Pros: It's very nice looking and has a low profile and wide bottom which allows it to heat up much faster than my old tea kettle did.
Cons: I have followed the care instructions and emptied and dried it after each use but it is already beginning to rust around the rim. It also has a very weak whistle and I can't hear it from another room.
