After each use the enamel flakes off the sides exposing a rough black subsurface. I've had this kettle for 10 days! Too bad. Sweet design, but cheaply made (like so many products these days).

I'm in the market for a new teakettle to replace my Paula Deen. I loved the style and color of the red kettle but was disappointed to have the red paint chipping off so quickly, within a few weeks of purchase. After a year of more paint lose and a loosening handle I also found the inside had rust rings forming. Needless to say, that kettle went out in the trash. Until I read the reviews on Amazon I thought mine was an isolated case of a poorly made teakettle. Apparently not, since others have mentioned very similar conditions. Now it's back to reading reviews and searching for the perfect kettle to sit on my stove.

I had this kettle for a year. The design is great, but the materials were so cheap that after a year's use (I used it at least once a day), I decided to just throw it away. The part that the handle is attached to is aluminum and it is flimsy. It also didn't seem safe to continue using. I noticed that each time I wiped the inside dry, my white paper towel would become dark gray! Brown flakes would also develop at the bottom of the pot on occasion. I was very disappointed with this product and am looking for a new tea kettle as I write this review.

This is a sturdy, eye-catching tea kettle which promises to last a long time without getting bowed and unsteady at the base. Through use, cheaper kettles get rounded underneath and become unfit for ceramic cooktops which require flat-bottomed cookware. While the lid is snug needing some yanking to lift off, that is not necessarily a bad feature for those of us who have, when the lid was loose, poached our fingers with escaping steam. The kettle can easily be filled through the spout. The handle is securely attached and the grip elevated to avoid getting heated.

This tea kettle is very pretty and it looks great in my kitchen. It also seems extremely durable. However, it is not! Today I decided to let my water boil a little longer because I wasn't really sure if I was getting it hot enough. (a whistle would be helpful) Anyway, all of a sudden I noticed that one of the handles was sinking into the top of the teapot, and the black inside was oozing out. When I turned of the burner and tried to remove it, it was stuck. I added cold water and the pot came loose. The handle stayed on despite and the black ooze that came out hardened around the metal. I will keep it on my stove as a decorative piece. VERY DISAPPOINTED!
