Title: Poor quality hinge makes for poor quality kettle.
Review: I received this kettle for Christmas 2004 and it broke within days of being used. The hinge that allows the sliding button on the handle that closes and opens the whistling lid on the spout is made of very thin plastic. Mine seemed to get brittle after just a week's worth of uses (5-10 heat-ups) and it broke. There were small bits of black plastic as evidence and the lid now opens with the button, but must be closed manually. I did email Copco and they did offer to repair/replace it if I had the upc from the box or the receipt, but I had neither since it was a gift. I feel it was my fault that I couldn't return it and I appreciate the offer.
Is the review positive or negative?
