At last, a big, beautiful kettle to fulfil our desire for copious amounts of tea every morning. It's built to last and has a strong and moveable handle that makes filling it easier (and doesn't get hot). The whistling mechanism doesn't need to be held open when pouring (like our old kettle, which was a pain) and the metal surface is easy to keep clean and doesn't show scratches like other kettles with coatings. Love it.
