Looks better than performs
I bought one of these and returned it. First, the one I had had a little chip in the enamel. The whistle is so anemic that if you put it on the stove and go out of the room and…

Copco fusion stainless steel tea kettle
This is not exactly a review because I did not keep the kettle I purchased. I purchased it initially because of its handsome appearance and advertised drip-proof spout.

Nice kettle for use on glass cooktops
I bought the same Copco kettle three years ago for use on a stove with a flat glass cooktop. The bottom is smooth and water heats easily and rapidly.

The quality is not there
I’ve used this teakettle for a few months before the lid knob broke off and there was no way to open it except to stick a knife and try to get it out.

This teakettle is well constructed and heats the water well. The heat resistant handle and the drip free spout are nice features. I have two complaints about the kettle, however.

The first is very minor. The care instructions included are obviously generic instructions which apply more to plain steel kettles, not stainless. The instructions warn about letting water sit in the pot,etc… That isn’t a problem with this kettle due to its construction.

The second issue is that the kettle doesn’t whistle very well. Most of the steam escapes through the spout instead of the whistle on the lid. If you cover the spout, the lid whistles, but it doesn’t if the spout is uncovered. (There was no plug/cover supplied for the spout, and I haven’t seen one in any of the photo’s.)

Likely risk of serious burns.
The high position of the spout on this product means that the kettle must be tilted to an extreme degree to pour from it, especially when the kettle is less than half-full.
