Product Description: An updated colonial-kitchen design in gleaming 18/10 stainless steel. Wide base for rapid boiling, heat-resistant phenolic handle and lid pull. Easy-pouring, drip-less spout. 2.5-quart capacity.
Amazon.com Review: Decorative and graceful, this teakettle harkens to the days of wood-burning stoves. There’s no whistle to pierce your ears, just a slender S-shaped spout that pours without dripping. In concession to modern times, the zinc cast handle features a heat-resistant phenolic grip, and the lid knob is made of the same substance. Polished to a mirror finish, the 18/10 stainless steel will not rust and only needs a soft rub with a cloth to stay shiny. The 9-1/2-inch-high teakettle measures 9 inches across the bottom, providing greater heating surface and a quicker boil. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - Max fill is about 1/2 below spout!
You can only fill this tea kettle to the Max fill line which is 1/2" below the spout. So you are just filling the first third of the kettle.
If you look at the picture of the kettle you can see the imprint on the kettle that shows the Max Fill Line. There are times when you want to fill the tea kettle almost to the top for more water -you can't do that with this kettle.
Rating: - The only one without a whistle
It's hard for me to imagine why a person who wants a whistle would buy this one, since it is pretty much the only kettle on the planet that doesn't have one. Which is precisely why I bought it.
Doesn't drip, holds plenty of water for me. My only slight problems are the "flimsy" feel of the bottom -- and the many little grooves and such that are down there. I had a kettle (also Copco) that was completely smooth on the bottom with no seams (like a big cup) -- this made it a lot easier to dry. With this one, I have to just put it upside down in the dish rack for a while. If I think ... Read More
Rating: - No Whistle and No Drips
I just got it and I really like this kettle. It looks good and it works just fine. I did not want a whistle and like someone else said, you can hear when the water starts to boil and then it quiets down. There is no dripping either. The lid fits really tight and it has a nice wide bottom. It's larger than I expected and that mirror shine finish is gorgeous. I recommend that you empty and dry thoroughly if you're not using it instead of letting water just sit in it overnight so it will last longer and not get that crusty metallic taste inside; just a suggestion.
Rating: - Not really 2.5 quarts
This kettle is well made, extremely well finished, pours easily as it is well balanced and with the very wide base heated rapidly. It should get a five star rating except for one issue. There is a Fill line about 1/4 inch below the opening of the spout. Obviously if your water is at a roiling boil and the water level is higher than that mark, the chance of bubbling out the spout increases as does the possibility of a burn from scalding water. However if you only fill it to the Fill line, the capacity of this seemingly very large kettle is only 1.5 quarts. I was sufficiently surprised that I filled ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful!
Okay, I confess that I just got my new kettle and have only used it a couple of times but I love it already. On my gas stove it heats quickly, no mind-blowing whistle and it pours without dribbling all over the counter. Oh, and it's so pretty! The handle does a good job of insulating from heat but it gives just a little with weight of the water. I think someone with less physical strength in their hands might have a difficult time but that would be easily solved by not filling the kettle quite so full. It's perfect for me.
