Uscover 3L Stainless Steel Whistling Tea Kettle, Food Grade, Brushed Finish, Induction & Gas Compatible

The color is absolutely lovely - this is why we chose this one. A bright, hearty, cheery red. The styling is delightfully charming as well - the lid has a cute round button of a handle and the kettle body has a pretty rainbow shaped handle. Functionally, I like the wide flat metal bottom that provides quick even distribution of heat. Durability-wise, we have been using it a lot for the last 3 weeks and no issues so far. The handle folds to the side to make it easier for you to fill it, but make sure it's not folded over while heating or it'll be quite hot when you go to pick it up. The number one reason we went for this particular style of kettle is it is entirely metal - no nonstick interior or anything. You only heat water in a kettle anyway, so why do you need some kind of mysterious nonstick coating that will turn an odd shade of white after a year's use, and which we will probably discover is carcinogenic in 30 years? The body of this thing is just plain metal inside, including the lid. Actually the only downside is that the metal lid sticks very firmly inside the metal pot, so you need a bit of tugging and wrestling to get it off to fill it and then force it back on again. Unfortunately, the cute button lid handle doesn't provide the best grip. I have weak hands, so most users probably wouldn't even notice a difficulty. Even if you do have weak hands, it's not so difficult as to be a deal-breaker. The whistle is similar to other kettles we have had - it's VERY loud when it's ready, but quickly quiets down to a quiet or silent hum if you turn it down to low heat. The instructions specify to use no higher than medium heat.
