I never write bad reviews but this product is just not good. This kettle can only be used as a decoration item on top of your stovetop. It’s cute but if you need a functioning kettle, get something else.The first kettle I received would not make any noise when the water was boiling. It went from the box, to one attempt to use it and straight back to Amazon.The replacement worked for a little over a month then it stopped making the noise as well. The nozzle did not have any paint over and it got rusty, so I would not only not use the water that came from it in food preparation, as I would keep a close eye on it. Then out of the sudden, I opened the nozzle’s ‘little lid’ to pour the water and the component that makes the noise and it’s attached to it, completely came off. It fell over my stovetop.Overall, complete waste of money. I wanted a kettle that had a black sheep and I guess that’s as mush as I will get from this product. I am, however, correcting course and looking at Kitchen aide kettles to replace it.A functioning product is better than one that doesn’t work at all but looks cute from afar.
