We quickly get tired of pleasing kitsch shape to get excited about the impracticality. In the words of another commentator, the water level indicator is not very visible. It is on the black plastic handful against all the receptacle and as little readable true that it is the image provides higher. So, to see if there is still water in the kettle, you have to lift the lid which is not attached to hinge but that fits with elastic casing as a pressure button. So it is removed by pulling off sharply and replace it by pressing hard, see typing. By dint of doing this all day (I drink tea continuously) one can find the kettle tiring.
In summary, I recommend users to put a little more money in their purchase to have a better designed object.
