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.

Sorry, it does not. But if your looking for a great kettle this one is just that.. Pat

I actually have the kettle that makes a sound that sounds like an organ definitely not worth the astronomical price! Also the handle can melt if it is not directly over the flame. Think carefully about buying a kettle and perhaps the one made in England is the wiser choice. Don't buy anything made in China as it may look fine but believe me it isn't.

The "red thing" is the on/off switch. There is a small black base (a separate piece) which is difficult to distinguish in the picture. The base has a cord, but you lift the kettle up off the base, so you can then take the kettle to the table.

I'm not actually sure, but I have no complaints about it being so. Overall it is a great, affordable kettle.

yes. I've bought more expensive electric kettles but I like this cheaper one best of all.

Yes, the kettle is stainless steel so it is hot. only the handle is insulated.

You're welcome. I LOVE this kettle. Its got so many great features. Perhaps it will work for you. ;-)

Unfortunately, yes it is. Had I been able to find something comparable here, I would have gotten it. However, this is a darned good tea kettle. Sadly, more and more often I cannot find something made in the USA that meets my needs. In about five years, at the rate we're going, if I want to eat or dress, it'll have a china label on it. Apples, bananas, bath soap, underwear.....sad, yeah?(Jennie, it's in teeny tiny print on the silver label on the bottom.)

If you bought this kettle to actually use, you should return it. If you bought it to just look at, you are good. It is beautiful but not functional.

Yes - the inside bottom of the kettle is flat, there are no visible heating elements (even though I believe they must be somewhere there in the bottom).

No, it is not flat. There's sort of a lip on the bottom (take a look at a picture of the bottom of the Farberware classic tea kettle and you'll have an idea what I mean). But it is stainless steel. My only real issue with this kettle was that the whistle did not work.

Tammy I didn't save the box and it doesn't say on the kettle but it is a heavy and very solid kettle with a nice thick bottom that holds the heat well. This is the best kettle I have EVER owned and will probably buy another one if this ever wears out. It is no dinky tin kettle for sure.

I was hesitant to purchase due to MiC. Not just for patriotic ' Buy American ' reasons, but because China is well known for ' junk stainless '. This kettle is ' good stainless ' and my kettle is still in great condition, no rust, gets well used and I'd buy it again. My only complaint ... the handle gets hot and you need hot-pad to hold it.Hope I've helped in your decision.

Same exactly as pictured...I would say yes lime green and is fabulous kettle.

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.
