Title: Disappointing
Product review: I bought this for its lovely style, and presumed that Eva Zeisel would guard her reputation as an industrial designer. It looks good, and the stainless finish holds up and cleans up beautifully. But, it has major problems. The handle gets too hot to use without a potholder, and in the three years we have had it, the handle began to deform and finally to begin breaking apart. The whistle, which others have mentioned is long gone. More significantly than those defects, however, is the problem mentioned above of the water bursting out of the spout all over the place. That is a design flaw that makes me wonder about Zeisel's concern for functionality. Oh, well, she lasted a very long time. Form counts for a lot in my view, and she did many wonderful looking things. So, I'm moving on to another Eva for my next kettle--Eva Solo. It's gorgeous, I'll let you know how it works.Eva Solo XO Stainless Steel Kettle, 1-1/2-Liter
