This tea kettle is very nice! My whole family loves it, it looks great with my other appliances, and is easy to use. My 7 year old and 9 year old are easily able to use this kettle with supervision. The kettle heats water very fast, and it's so convenient. The family is happy to be able to use this to heat up water for tea or hot cocoa a lot easier than with the stove. It's definitely an appliance that has added a huge convenience to our lives.
