content: I actually purchased two of these. The second was purchased when the whistle stopped working on the first (I thought the broken whisle was my fault because it ran for a few minutes). Both lasted about a year. Here's what's not to like:1) Rubber handle splits along bottom seam2) Whistle stops working after a short while3) Hard to refill with water if hot, steam burns your hand4) Lid difficult to open/close5) "Stainless steel" mars easily, does not retain appearance6) Takes forever to boil contents7) Bottom seam leaksMany other reviews echo these same experiences. While it appears to be a nice unit from a company that normally has a good reputation, it is not. Be forewarned, don't but this item.
