Copco Journey 2.5 Quart Teakettle, Blue

We received our teakettle and it is very nice in appearance, my wife put it to work that same evening, and just like it states one achieving its hot point the whistle starts. We found no issues with a hot handle, dripping, or any flaws.

We dry out the pot after each use and it looks great sitting on the oven and it that makes the wife happy, well then its a good purchase.

We reviewed many teakettles before making our decision from $25-$200 and we feel this was the one that filled our need.

Okay, so it seems well made and well balanced, but my big issue (and the reason it's going back) is that unlike many kettles I've seen, the whistle does not stay open. You have to push with your thumb against a fairly beefy spring to keep it open, or the whistle will snap down on the spout, causing a possible splash problem. This also makes it difficult when quick-filling through the spout, and hand fatigue could ensue. Arthritis suffers beware.

We got this as a wedding present and I love it. It's very sturdy and I love that the whistle on the spout doesn't pop off like other brands. The whistle on my last one broke, but this one is sturdy and pretty simple. Easy to pour and it's lovely too. Not at all difficult.
