Beautiful tea kettle, expecially in Pyrite. The Pyrite color is very attractive. In fact, it really looks like real pyrite yet, of course, it’s not. What’s to say about a tea kettle? It’s well made, but it has one weaknesses that lowers the perfection of the kettle but not the rating. For this price, I was very disappointed the whistle was not harmonic; instead, it just a plain whistle which is somewhat irksome, definitely boring, and a little hard to hear from a distance.On the plus side, the finish is porcelain on the outside and also on the inside to prevent rusting. The spout is opened by an easy thumb press, not on the outside of the handle by use of the other hand, but on the underside using the same hand holding the kettle. This makes opening the spout a very easy operation while still sitting on the stovetop. Next, the kettle is made from enamel-coated stainless steel both in and out to prevent rusting; and, the shape inside allows one to dispel all drops of water when pouring out. I find that there is no drop left in the kettle that could cause rusting even if it weren’t enameled inside. This is what brings the cost up to it’s point.It’s easy to fill. The top comes off and goes on very easily. (After boiling, this top does get hot; so, don’t try to remove with bare hands). The water pours out from the spout without burning one’s hands from steam.The other nice thing is that the width at the bottom exactly fits the width of the smaller electric burner on a glass-top stove or induction stovetop. The silicone inserts in the SS handle make it easy to pickup without burning one’s hands. It will get warm, but not hot UNLESS you let it continue to boil several minutes after the whistle starts to blow. At that point, of course it will get too hot to hold without kitchen gloves or a towel.Oddly, or maybe not, it has a nice aesthetic look to it; not a modern piece of art, but a nice looking kettle that you will probably want to leave out on the stovetop. We’ve had at least three or four comments in the first three weeks of ownership much to our surprise. And most of the comments were not about the kettle but about the color of this kettle—pyrite. It’s quite unique.Finally, if you read the Q&A and reviews, there are a lot of negative answers and reviews about this kettle. As usual, most of the negative reviews come from people who, 1) don’t read the instructions of preparing the kettle for boiling; and 2) wouldn’t know how to boil an egg. Certainly, many don’t even know how to spell our wonderful English language.Many of the questions are answered incorrectly by some and correctly by others. Who can you believe? We haven’t had this kettle long, but long enough to say that it’s a very good kettle and wouldn’t purchase another for any reason. If something changes, I will update this review.
