We use a kettle almost daily. Have had 2 before this that I wanted to be forever kettles and paid a high price for both. First was the Caphalon kettle and second was a Le Creuset. They both got rust inside which they were not suppose to do. Frustrated, I decided to look for a solid stainless steel kettle. It took alot of internet searching and I found this one. It looks like a kettle you would see in Grandma's house and I hope for me that mine will last that long. I sure like it and so do my kids.
