I had a kettle this size that I purchased about 5 years ago.  It was time for a new kettle and I wanted to replace with the same size.  I love the quality and the appearance is nice.  I use this kettle on a regular basis so it stays on my smooth service cook top stove.  Nice addition with the stainless steel appliances trimmed in black.  I highly recommended if you are looking for a large kettle.
