Nice price for a basic starter kettle. LightweightI do not like the way the handle is on those 'loops' and bendable instead of being firm as i pour. takes some maneuvering not to get hot water on you. no problems other than that.This seemed like a fairly nice kettle until the plastic on the handle melted after a short boil. It could cause a serious burn!it does not whistleAfter one use the metal part of the handle has split off the plastic and the plastic is starting to melt. Don’t waste your money.
