I love this tea kettle! It’s lightweight, heats water up really fast, and so very pretty. The stainless color with the wood grain handles are beautiful and a great statement piece. I will keep this kettle out on my stove all the time. The whistle is not very loud, but it’s present. The lid is slightly hard to get on. I just fill the kettle up through the spout and it’s easier to do that way in my opinion. Would recommend.
