 This kettle has so many flaws May 23, 2010
Loren DaSilva (NJ USA)
This is a handsome tea kettle but it functions very poorly. Let's start with the package insert that came with the kettle that instructs us to empty & DRY the inside of the kettle after each use. Honestly. Who does that? Just emptying the kettle is an uncomfortable task - as others have noted, you have to tilt the kettle 180 degrees just to pour it. I've taken to pouring mine "back handed" to avoid wrist discomfort and if I pour too quickly it dribbles down my hand. Here's the flaw that bugs me the most: the little screen in the spout has completely rusted in the course of a few months & collects pet hair (no I'm not a slob - I keep my kitchen as tidy as the next average-non-Felix-Unger-gal). I have yet to find a way to clean this little screen. Yuck. Copco, it's a tea kettle - why would you use a metal in the spout that's prone to rust?!
 Pours Slow and leaks April 19, 2010
Jesse Garrison (San Francisco, Ca)
We had to return this because it pours out slow where you have to tilt the pot a full 180 degrees. We mainly need a tea pot to heat up our kids bottles. So we find ourselves pouring the thing forever as well as it leaks from the top and where the handle is connected. From China equals not good. The little whistle function worked ok but not worth the hassle to not have to flip the little lever to open up the spout.
The main thing is that it leaks and that shouldn't happen on a $40 tea pot.
 great teakettle March 8, 2010
N. L. Chiappetta
I've had this teakettle for a couple of weeks and I really like it. I have no problems pouring the hot water as some reviewers stated -- the steam doesn't touch your hand even though it is a short spout. It is easy to use and looks great. You just have to be careful not to overfill it as the instructions state.
Copco's tagline: "Better By Design"------NOT! December 28, 2009
Antonio Fernandez (Westfield, NJ)
I've had mine for several months. It looks really nice and blends into my stove area quite well. However, like what others have reported it suffers from many design flaws. I'm sad to report another flaw: the lid comes apart.
The lid is made up of two pieces. On closer inspection of the lid I found it's not held together by rivets, weld, or even screws-----it's just held together by bent metal. Really?! Didn't they know the lid is the most used part of a teakettle since one has to remove it to add water?! Especially in this model since one can't pour water through the spout since it has a metal ball in the spout to make the kettle whistle.
Seriously---it's just a teakettle for cryin' out load! How can one manage to mess it up? Teakettles are meant to last decades---not months. I hope not they didn't make too many of these----since most will probably be discarded. I never knew a teakettle would have a large carbon footprint.
Broke after about 6 months November 18, 2009
D. Milone
This teakettle worked well for about six months, although you have to tilt the kettle to an uncomfortable angle to pour it. After six months, the handle broke, separating from the main body. Sounds like a similar problem others have had.
