Farberware Classic Sonoma 2-Quart Whistling Stainless Steel Teakettle

You don't need to spend [price] on a tea kettle! This was an excellent buy (and I got it for the higher price of [price]!!). The price can't be beat for the quality. The kettle sings loudly when ready and the lid comes off for easy cleaning. It's durable and nice looking as well. I've bought other kettles I haven't been nearly as happy with and they cost more. And there is no enamel to chip off like those "fancy" kettles often have. One great feature this kettle can claim is a very smooth pouring action--no dribbles and drips.

This teakettle is just wonderful. I love how the top opens for easy cleaning. I have fairly large hands and find it easy to get my hand in there and clean. A must have for me. The lid snaps right back on nice and tight. The whistle works great. My girls just love to hear the sound. The pour spout works great. Just push the lever and it opens up for you to pour. you take your finger off and it goes right back down by itself. A geat item at a great price.

It's not as shiny as it was when it first emerged from its box, but that's no wonder -- this teakettle has scarcely left the stove since I received it. I use it almost daily to make coffee and tea. The design is excellent -- the handle stays cool, and the removable lid allows easy cleaning of the interior. It is very sturdily made, and doesn't seem as though it would dent easily. It's large enough to hold water for a whole pot of tea if you need it to, and can quickly boil enough water for a single cup in no time -- very handy to have around the kitchen, and with its neat retro shape, something you won't mind leaving out on the stove.
