The good: nice size, pretty pattern, the spout cap and handle stay cool, appears to be of good quality (although I've only had it a week ... time will tell). Nice loud whistle, although I would call it more of a horn! It's a two-tone clarinet sound that will alert you to its readiness if you are anywhere within 100 feet! I even heard it over my vacuum ^.^The bad: the pink has a sort of peachy tinge to it so if you're looking for a true pink (or dusty rose) ... you won't get it with this pattern. It's just a little off. Incredibly, this lists as a 2 1/2 quart tea kettle but there's this tiny "Fill Line" label just under the spout. It's hard to measure accurately since the kettle isn't transparent, but my guesstimate is that if you only fill to the "Fill Line," you're limited to slightly less than one quart. I put in 28 ounces before figuring I hit the "Fill Line" limit. For me, that's not a problem but if you're truly looking for 64+ ounce capacity ... look elsewhere. Some might consider the aforementioned "horn" a bad thing since it's so loud and not a "whistle" so I'll list it here as well. I prefer to hear it rather than not hear it but that's just me.
The worst for me is the dribble factor. I detest dribbling tea kettles and this one is pretty bad. I fill my mug over the sink.
UPDATE 7/4/13: Well, I bought it and despite the drawbacks mentioned above, kept it. Now, one+ year later, I can truly say it's not worth it. The enamel chips off the bottom and the whistle stopped working. 1 star for being pretty.

I bought this as a gift and it was well received. It is cute and has a good finish on it. I had one similar to it but of a different pattern and it lasted years ~ until I ruined it by boiling it dry. Don't try this at homeit did no favor to my flattop stove either! :( The teapot is greatjust watch out for "operator error"! :) That's what the whistle is for!Honest reviews on Corelle Coordinates 2-1/5-Quart Whistling Teakettle, Pretty Pink
I bought this to complement my dishes. I like it a lot. Adds beauty to my kitchen. The whistle sounds like a train and whenever the kids hear it,they would both say "choo,choo the train has arrived. "
Just need to be careful when opening the pout to pour, it can get so hot.
I would recommend to use a pot holder when opening it.
