Title: Well designed; not all that long lasting
Review: I have many pots and pans that are decades old and work well despite frequent use. It's true that I use a tea kettle at least once every day, probably more than any other piece of cookware. So it's not surprising that after 20 years of using my old Revere Ware copper bottom kettle, it bit the dust. I decided to upgrade to a fancier brand, the Oxo, about four years ago. It held up well until this month when the bottom started to severely corrode. Is four years a good lifespan for a kettle? I don't think so. It's on the low end of my expectations. On the plus side, the kettle is well designed and has nice balance. But next time, I'm going back to something a little cheaper with a copper bottom.
