i enjoyed this tea kettle for 4 or 5 years.  it is beautiful.  when i moved to a city with hard water, i did not realize there would be mineral build up on the inside.  i tried different ways to clean it, and ended up ruining a patch of the inside surface.  i also dropped it on a granite countertop and cracked off a piece of the enamel.  i just bought a replacement, another kettle from the same company, but i up-sized to the 1.8 quart size--this demi one was a little too small for two tea and coffee drinkers.  it'd be great for 1 person.  

Pros: beautiful, loud whistle, sturdy
