Kettle very easy to wash. Its appearance is more restrained than in the picture: the three lines at the bottom are discreet as his whistle ... I was afraid it is shrill, not at all, even leaving boil water, it is the not always understood. For cons, the "Piping-cap" is not removed, it is part of the spout. I tried to put two liters as shown to his job, he must close the spout if not all the water comes out. Another negative point for my taste: the handle. She is beautiful, wood imitation, but it heats. So, I've already burned hands ... the problem is less when I put the small fire the stove. It's a shame. In short, elegant and sober kettle, unobtrusive for his whistle, fun to use but fast burning handle.
