This kettle looks very chic, so you'll love it in your kitchen as long as you don't have to use it.
I have the cordless version. The kettle is designed so that if you're holding the handle at the end (over the lid), steam pours up over your fingers when you tip the kettle. This is not intelligent design.
Moreover, as it has aged (ours is now a year old), the seams have become slightly opened - not enough to let water out, but enough to mean that steam now emanates from every part of the kettle.
I still like this kettle for its looks, but I'd rather have something that I could safely allow guests to use.
