Copco Cambridge Stainless-Steel Teakettle

WARNING: THIS IS ONLY 1.4 QT (not 2.5 QT as both Copco & Amazon claim).
THIS IS NOT 18-10 Stainless Steel as Amazon claims. (even Copco admits in the
tiny-font "Kettle Care" insert that RUST will occur if ANY water remains).

Additionally, the phenolic handle can get VERY HOT (even Copco admits in the
tiny-font "Kettle Care" insert: "ALWAYS USE A POTHOLDER"). And, the handle
support/frame is cast zinc (again, NOT Stainless Steel) and subsequently will
corrode and/or oxidize to a dull/white appearance.

So, if you ONLY need a classical decorative item, this may be just fine at 15 bucks.
(the capacity of 1.4 QT is at Copco's own marked "MAX FILL" line, which, again,
Copco states in the tiny-font "Kettle Care" insert and is printed on the kettle front)
WARNING: at the erroneously claimed 2.5 QT capacity, this kettle will spray
boiling-hot water upon a contiguous area ~12" from the spout tip...Read more

I bought this two months ago, and after one month I happened to look inside when I filled it and saw that the water was full of flakes; the bottom was falling apart. needless to say i tossed it in the trash, and now i'm even more annoyed to see that though I paid 35 dollars for it is now 14.99.
not worth it either way.

This is actually a great tea kettle! I bought it to replace a Pfaltzgraff that had basically rusted inside - who knew you shouldn't leave water in a kettle :)

This does not have a kettle, which for me personally was great. I find kettles with whistles annoying. Oddly enough, you can actually "hear" when your water is boiling. When you turn the fire on under it, it makes a slight bubbling sound - then goes quiet once it reaches a boil.

It's easy to keep it clean; pours very smoothly compared to my old kettle; and is a perfect size for a few cups of tea. My only peeve initially is that the handle does not rotate - it's a fixed handle, but I got over it quickly enough.
