Just received my product in mail. My kettle is not exactly the same as the pictures. On the bright side, the small grate that covers the spout is completely steel (no plastic rim). On the down side, I am in Canada and the unit I received has the temperature in Fahrenheit—I don't think I'll return it for this reason, but I also may not have made the purchase had I known. Given the price, I expected it to be perfect.
