It heats quickly, has a cool and well balances handle, and pours easily.

I especially like that the handle can be pushed to the side making filling it so much easier

Sturdy handle but swings down if needed

I like the sturdy handle that will stand upright for heating/pouring and fold to the side for filling/cleaning/storage.

Handy fold down handle

also the handle and spout lever are not hot even when the water is boiling.

The handle remains cool and the pot is easy to maneuver

The handle does not get hot so pouring the water is no problem.

the handle and lever on spout are both cool to the touch

Also, the handle gets a little too hot for comfort

Good handle securely attached.

Great handle that does not fall to the side.

The handle doesn't get hot as long as I don't have the flame too high

We are not happy with this purchase, the handle gets too hot to touch when the water is boiling.

Nice finish with a stay cool handle which actually stays cool for pouring

Great handle.

The handle is heat resistant, ergonomically perfect when pouring, kettle heats water quickly, and whistles just loud enough

Very easy to use and the handle doesnt get hot as other reviewers have indicated

The stay-cool silicone-covered handle is the best I've ever used in a lifetime full of kettles, and apparently a lot of thought went into designing it

I like the movable handle, so I can move it to the side for ease of cleaning

Love the handle as it will move out of the way to clean inside

The handle does get warm, but I haven't had a kettle where this doesn't happen.

The handle is heat resistant, ergonomically perfect when pouring, kettle heats water quickly, and whistles just loud enough

The handle doesn't get hot and the water heats up quickly.

Best one we found on Amazon -- functional, attractive, big enough, whistles, and a good handle

Very sturdily built, the handle doesn't get hot on the grip, and easy to hold

The rubberized handle gets warm on our gas stove, but not too hot to pick up

This one the handle gets warm, but not hot

Stylish, well made, cool handle and easy flip up spout

the handle gets a little warmer than i would have hope if it is left to boil for too long (so maybe i should stop tipping up the lid on the spout, so i pour the water when the whistle sounds)

The handle doesn't get hot nor is the spout lid tricky to flick open

Design is nice and no issues holding the handle when hot (And without a pot holder).

The handle does not get hot while on the stove.

The handle is solid

Design is nice and no issues holding the handle when hot (And without a pot holder).

Sturdy handle looks antique like

The handle is comfortable with a durable and cool to the touch handle

The handle never gets hot!

I like the handle that moves off to the side for ease of filling.

oh, and the handle feels good

The rubberized handle gets warm on our gas stove, but not too hot to pick up

Like the style and easy to clean and fill and the fold away handle

The handle swings out of the way to fill the pot, and the lever on the pour spout is excellent!

It's made of heavy duty stainless steel, has a comfortable handle and a nice whistle

Easy to clean, the handle swivels out of the way when clean, has a whistle ( i don't use).

The handle does not get hot, the entire kettle is beautifully made and handsome to look at

Heats fast with a good handle.

Great quality, comfortable handle

The movable handle is delightful for adding water

The handle is sturdy and doesn't get too hot

Very nice tea kettle easy to fill and clean also like the handle

Also, the handle I thought was well

The handle is perfect, doesn't get too hot, the top fits tightly but not too tightly, and the whistle is good.

My mom saw mine and loved the look and how it handled, too, so I purchased another as a Christmas gift for her.

Having a kettle whose handle stays cool (or, at least, not hot) is a major selling point for me.

The handle gets pretty hot but somewhat manageable if you know

The handle is still fine, too

The handle did get a bit hot after the water boiled

Good capacity, simple design, decent whistle (not annoying, but can hear), nice rotating handle for easy storage

It is attractive and the top handle can be moved to the side

The handle doesn't get hot and it whistles like a bird

I purchased this as a replacement item, the handle stays cool, and it heats water quickly and pours without drips.

What I liked about the kettle is the handle doesn't get hot, the spout top has a silicone tab on top and

also the handle and spout lever are not hot even when the water is boiling.

The handle gets hotter than the $7 IKEA kettle this replaced and the water aggressively spits and spurts out of the kettle the first time you pour it each and every heat up.

Simply, it boils water quickly, it whistles very loudly, the handle does not get hot, the handle moves to the side so you can get the lid off, the lid stays secure, and you can get your hand in to clean it if you need to

The handle doesn’t get hot or only a little hot

I like the bendable handle.

Appearance, whistle, the wide opening at the top, insulated handle, useful capacity

I don't like the rigid handle kettles.

Solid well constructed teapot with comfortable handle

The handle gets hot as well

I like that the handle can be moved to make it easier to fill and to clean.

Great, sturdy piece and excellent handle mechanics

capacity is excellent, the folding down handle, cooks quickly, no finger prints

Even with the silicone grip handle, the handle is a little too hot to grip after heating the water

The handle does get a little hot but that's what potholders are for.

Its best features are: the handle moves so you can easily fill it, it has some kind of rubber so that the handle and spout opening do not get too hot, the lid is big enough to make it easy to clean the inside, and it has a larger capacity than most.

Mostly the handle doesn't get too hot, but if it's been boiling for a while you need to use a pot holder to pour

The handle folds down, which really facilitates filling this kettle and

The handle sometimes gets warm too.

I have a couple of KitchenAid appliances that I love (Pro stand mixer, food processor), but the enameled kettle that the OXO replaced [KitchenAid KTEN20SBOB 2.0-Quart Kettle with Full Stainless Steel Handle and Trim Band - Onyx Black] was a huge disappointment

It holds plenty of water to fill the french press, is very easy to fill, and the strong and well mounted handle will not be breaking off like our last one did.

This kettle's taller and tapered design allows for safe handling without cost-increasing features.

The handle would get hot

The handle still does get pretty hot though and I need a potholder to pour

The handle, and the sprout opener stays cool.

The handle can get extremely hot and the whistle isn't as loud as my prior kettle except when completely full my expectations were higher.

The handle is ergonomic, protected from heat, and hinged for filling, yet sits securely in the up position, afterward

It heats quickly although if filled to the max level, the handle becomes a little hot.

The handle doesn't get excessively hot either, thanks to the silicon grip.

Mostly the handle doesn't get too hot, but if it's been boiling for a while you need to use a pot holder to pour

Like the fold down handle for easy filling and cleaning.

Easy to clean, comfortable handle moves to either side for easy cleaning and filling

What makes this so functional is the handle stays cool to the touch even if the kettle is left on the stove a little too long

The lid is wide and has a sturdy handle.

Good review by American Test Kitchen; clean features, nice comfortable handle and best of all, I can hear the whistle!

The handle - doesnt get hot, so you dont have to look for something to protect your hand

It no longer looks nearly as nice as when I first got

But, personally, i still prefer my electric kettle:) See my review on Salton kettle Salton GK1465 Cordless Electric Glass Kettle, 1.7 L, Clear

but this is an e extremely poor design for a kettle.
