Query: Not long lasting

I was given this kettle as a gift about nine months ago. It was used two-three times per day to heat water for tea. It worked fine but the handle got too hot to hold without hot pads if left on to boil for more than a minute or two. The whistle feature fell out of the holding about a week ago so it wouldn't whistle when the water reached boiling. I just left it on the stove for a couple of minutes too long and the water evaporated and the rubber around the handle base melted. Lovely.Overall, it was a good looking kettle but didn't hold up to repeated wear and tear. It would probably be fine if you aren't hard on things and don't use frequently. It was also hard to keep clean. I am now looking for a stainless electric kettle now that won't give off a plastic smell.
