Is this kettle just like the picture depicts, the derision with

It's exactly like the picture. You pick up the handle and tilt forward and the front opens to pour.

It is like the photo but mine has the matte, not shiny, finish. The spout automatically opens and closes as the kettle is tilted.

No. It is all stainless steel and the handle is cork. I have been using it for nearly 9 months on a gas stove, 3 to 6 times a day, and it's been great. I treated myself to this kettle thinking it would be worth getting a really good one for something I will use always all the time, and I don't regret it.

We didn't find anything flimsy about it. However, I have never owned one until now. Compared against off the shelf items we looked at locally - and that was many stores and many looks, this kettle was far and away superior and nothing could compete with the look of it either.

I think it is...top shelf...to tell the truth I don't use the infuser...I just use to make hot water at different temps to use with an over the cup infuser...I've had the kettle for months now and love it

Yes it does, but it does not seem to work quite as well as my older model. Again, I think the materials of construction might be just a little lower quality than my 15 yr old kettle, but it does work...

I believe it is. It is thinner that my old pot, and obviously made much cheaper. Although, it still boils my water better and faster than other kettles... so, I'm happy with it, but I don't expect it to last as long as the old Revere ware kettles did.

No - this kettle is amazing. I really don't know how I lived without one for so long. And their customer service is tiptop.

I actually had to return the kettle. The handle was difficult to pull open. It was also in an awkward spot. This is a large kettle. I ordered a different one from Vermont Country Store. I am extremely pleased with it. It comes in 3 different sizes. The Farberware is a heavy duty well made kettle. I would have kept it if the trigger was easy to use and in a different spot.I hope this helps.

yes it's just like the picture. i like it, but my two main problems were that i had to drill some holes in the bottom of the black inside basin to allow rain/snow water to drain out and i didn't pay enough attention to the size in the description before i bought it. i assumed it had a wider diameter than it does.

I bought this for my daughter because she has this style and color of Le Creuset. So the choice of kettle was based on that, not qualities of a kettle. I can ask her about the whistle!

yes it is - but, be wary, mine leaked through the sidewall. like, through the actual wall of the kettle, not near the valve or thermometer. I sent i back for a refund and just spent a few bucks more for this - http://morebeer.com/products/heavy-duty-brew-kettle-ball-valve-32-quart8-gallon.html

Yes, no problem at all. The kettle is just excellent in general. I highly recommend it!

I ordered it from Designandgrace through Amazon.com. I paid 11.99. Make sure the flame stays under the kettle. My husband melted two (2).

I can't answer that question because I returned the tea kettle that looked very cheap and poorly constructed.

Nope, bootom of the kettle's lid is plastic. Water level indicator is plastic. Plastic handle is also protruding thru steel body into interior.
