This teakettle has a nice pouring design (cap lifts off while your pour) but what's with the cap melting off? I have never had this problem with any other teakettle. I usually like OXO products, but this one is a fail. Oh, and the whistling mechanism got so weak that the other day, I didn't hear it, the water burned down, the kitchen had a bad melting plastic odor for an hour, as I took off the cover, the handle broke off, and it totally committed suicide. This was not inexpensive. As I look through the reviews on Amazon, there seems to be a weakness in every teakettle out there...for what seems like a low tech appliance, why have we not perfected this?
