Classic shaping and user-friendly features make Farberware's Temptation teakettle a handsome and handy addition to any stovetop. Constructed from powder-coated stainless steel with mirror-polish accents, the 3-quart vessel features a clean dome shape that flares at the base to provide maximum burner contact and faster heating. The whistle signals cheerfully when the water comes to a boil, and the heat-resistant trigger lever flips open with just a thumb for one-handed pouring and filling. The kettle also fills through the removable top lid. For safe and steady use, a high-arching synthetic handle and raised lid finial resist heat and offer plenty of finger clearance. The kettle is corrosion-, stain-, and chip-resistant and requires minimal care for years of service. Available in several attractive colors including black, white, red, and Granny Apple green, there's a Temptation hue to seduce any kitchen. --Kara Karll

This was a great purchase for me and exactly what I was looking for. The 3 quart capacity is just right for my needs and after having checked out the prices for comparable items in the stores, I realize what a great bargain it is. I'm glad I purchased it.

Not a huge fan -- I'm returning this because it feels cheap. I was spoiled by a good, solid Revere teakettle; my partner and I are chain-drinking teaheads, and this doesn't feel like it'll stand up to the test--feels like I'll be lucky to get two years out of it. It was hard to even get the fill lid off and back on. Pretty color, though (I got the Granny Smith green) and of course the larger capacity is appealing. But I guess you get what you pay for...

This kettle looks lovely, just like you'd expect from the photo, but it works poorly. The collapsible handle is poor -- it doesn't lock in the up position and ends up folded in the down position most of the time. Unfortunately, this means that the handle gets quite hot every time you make tea -- I had to use a potholder to pour every time. It could be, since I drink several cups of tea a day, that I used this kettle more than most people and overworked the handle. Because of the shape of the handle, I found it hard to hold the kettle and open the spout with one hand, which is a small thing but then I'm used to a kettle with a spout that opens when you push on a switch.
Perhaps because of this kettle's light construction, it boils very quickly, which is quite convenient. It's also very large, good if you're making tea for guests.
