Cuisinart Prodigy Kettle, 2-Quart, Black

This one is the best of those we've tried. Heavy weight fabrication gives sense of durability. The less than 5 star on "Ergonomic" is the thumb trigger for the spout opener seems reversed until one becomes more familiar with the teapot. However, that spout opener and its mechanism are better made than most others and create a good loud whistle,... which is what I needed (she says)!
