Copco Escort 1-1/2-Quart Brushed Stainless Steel Teakettle

Had a Copco teakettle for years and worked great. Unfortunately, we somehow lost the cover to it. Thus, ordered the Copco Escort. Two problems - difficult to remove the cover as there is no place to insert one's finger into the cover's plastic handle to remove it. Even worse, it does not whistle, making it very dangerous. I note that two other Amazon reviewers also report a weak or "no whistle" problem with the Copco Mirage. Thus, something appears to be wrong with this line of Copco teakettles.

I used this tea kettle for just over a month before I had to throw it out. The reason is that it started to develop a ring of rust on the inside where the bottom meets the side. The "stainless steel" label is simply false advertising. The appearance, size, and whistling all looked great initially, but the rusting makes this an unusable product. Avoid at all cost.

Boils the perfect amount of water for my 4 mug teapot. Whistle has worked great for the past 5 years, quite loud. Handle doesn't get hot, water doesn't spill out when boiling. No complaints, strong little tea kettle. Easy to clean, and always looks great on the stove.
