Still a good idea . .

I got a set of Farberware cookware as a wedding gift in 1968. Thanks to Barkeeper's Friend, each piece still looks as good as it did when new, and I am still using them all. I've added a few pieces over the years, so I thought this tea kettle would be a good purchase. Well, it got knocked off the stove onto the floor, after 2 years, and the plastic handle broke. Then it fell off a year later and got a dent! So I am now getting ready to buy a new one. I cannot see anything better for the price, so I'll buy another. All in all, I've been happy with it. Mostly I use it to boil water to pour on weeds in the spaces between my pavers on the driveway and patio. Boiling water totally kills weeds and is non-toxic. For tea water I use my Sunbeam Hot Shot, an amazing machine.

Pretty good for the price -- Not great

For $19.99, this isn't a bad tea kettle. I would, however, consider going with something a few dollars more expensive.

The kettle has a very wide base, which seems to help in heating quickly, however the metal is so thin I'm not convinced it's conducting the heat very well.

Additionally, the handle (plastic) seems to get quite hot. I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

The spout is somewhat clunky to open, however it seems to whistle reasonably well.

I'm happy with my purchase, for the price, but i'm considering finding a more expensive tea pot in the future. I don't expect this one will last too long.
