I hate noisy kettle or ones that ping; This is a good looking kettle; Boils fast and doesn?￠a?a￠t offer anything you don?￠a?a￠t need; Easy to wipe clean as well; I don?￠a?a￠t see myself buying another kettle for many many years

It is heavy but I?￠a?a￠d prefer to have a more robust kettle

Has a spring loaded latch for the lid, this was made of plastic and went brittle after a years use, broke, and now the lid wont shut!
