Light weight but solidly constructed, nothing rattles feels like the kettle is well put together. Could go into details about the spun metal construction, the aluminum plate at the bottom for more efficient transfer of heat, and how the handles and spout are spot welded to the main body of the kettle. But all that is just frivolous detail, though as is how the lid opening is rolled round and inward and you really have to feel around the rolled metal to find the edge which is rather smooth. It's a solid kettle and should stay that way unless it gets kicked or tossed about like a football.
Relatively easy to clean and fill with the removable lid, though a smaller hand than mine would make interior washing a bit easier. THAT feature is a plus for me as I like to be able to wash and inspect the inside of the kettle and make sure nothing is building up in there.
Seems to heat fast in spite of the large capacity, packaging claims it can be used on all stoves. Gas, electric, ceramic etc, so the kettle is compatible with any stove, no troubles there.
I've poured out a quart and a half of boiling water from this kettle, you should not have to worry about running out of hot water for your friends/co-workers unless there are a LOT of them, or they're VERY thirsty.
The only major knock against this kettle is that the handle gets hotter than hell while it's heating up on the stove, use a towel or oven mitts when taking this kettle off the boil otherwise you're going to get hurt, you've been warned.
The kettle comes with it's own nifty whistle/air raid siren. You will have NO trouble hearing it. Your going to know when the water is boiling, your family is going to know it, your neighbors and people passing by on the street are going to know the water is boiling as well. I rather like the whistle/air raid siren thing, as I tend to set it on the stove and forget it, which could be bad if the whistle wasn't so loud. I usually zip downstairs and turn the stove off before the whistle/siren cranks up to full blast and alerts everyone I'm making some tea. Whistle is obviously removable so you can boil water without waking the family or alerting the neighbors that you are doing so. Just don't misplace the whistle, it isn't attached to the kettle and you might need it someday should there be an air raid.
Good tea kettle, solid construction, heats up fast for its size, nice large capacity, easy to clean and comes with that nifty siren/whistle to remind you that, yes, you've put the kettle to boil. Rather expensive but I do not regret shelling out the extra shekels for the kettle.

Excellent, quality. The whistle is loud enough to hear from any room in the house, but not loud enough to annoy me.
