There is no denying this kettle looks good but it really is design over practicality. Its difficult to use it without burning myself, the shape means when it has booked and you pick it up there js intense heat coming at your hand and write area and as you tilt to pour it just increases chances of a steam burn. Young people should not be allowed to try and use this kettle, if we had children in the house I would have thrown it away. So it depends what you want, if you prioritise looks over safety then this is the kettle for you - if you want something for the family gome then I suggest you keep looking.
