 "Not so pretty now . . ." 2009-04-13
By J. A. Nash (Knoxville, TN USA)
I owned the white version of this kettle for a good 10 years when things started flaking off the inside. It was probably just build-up that I could have boiled away with water and vinegar, but I didn't investigate too closely because I'd been eying this copper beauty. After less than two years, it looks more like an old crone. You have to polish it for it to look decent, but, since it's copper plate, polishing seems to be taking off the copper. I can now see silver underneath..



As for function, it heats up quickly, the whistle works, and it's a great size. However, as several reviewers have pointed out, the handle is too hot to touch without an oven mitt after you've boiled water. And I want a bit more than function. I use a kettle several times a day, and it never leaves my stovetop except to be cleaned. So I also want something that looks nice. This ain't it.



I like these kettles, despite the too-high price, which may keep me from buying another.

 "Toot-less Teakettle" 2008-04-28
By Maria P.
The harmonica does not toot at all. I have replaced the whistle a number of times, and it is still toot-less. Also, bad ergonomics: handle too hot to handle. High maintenance cleaning indeed.

 "Great Kettle" 2008-01-05
By Sarah G.
I've had this kettle for a while and have never had any problems with the whistle, the copper finish, or getting burned. It includes a mitt that slips right over the handle for safe use - I just flip the spout open with the mitt before slipping the mitt onto the handle. Not too much trouble for the beauty and durability of this kettle. I use Never Dull to polish it from time to time and there is also a "recipe" on the Chantal website for a homemade copper cleaner. The website also includes troubleshooting tips for whistle problems, such as incorrect water levels and mineral build-up. I recommend thoroughly reading the included instructions and the FAQ on the Chantal website - if this kettle is properly maintained it should be problem free and last for generations. We love it!!!

 "Very disappointing!" 2007-10-04
By jdmomto3 (Indiana)
This teakettle is the most "high maintenance" item I have in my kitchen. At this price, I expected a much better protective coating on the copper. I realize that copper does need to be tended to, but this kettle looks terrible all the time. I have been very careful to wipe it dry whenever I use it, but one drop that I missed left a black spot that still is noticeable, no matter how much I polish. And the first time I used the recommended polish to give it an allover clean up, the color changed dramatically -- it doesn't even look like the same kettle. And now, it needs to be completely polished EVERY DAY. Do not buy this copper kettle! Before I had to replace it, I had the black version, and it lasted me 10 years. Chantal's customers deserve better than this. This one is definitely not worth the money.

5 stars for beauty but 2 stars for functionality:



This tea kettle is expensive and totally gorgeous. I have a high-end, 48" stainless steel range and I can't imagine any kettle looking more beautiful on it. However, this kettle is severely limited in functionality.



1) The "Harmonic Whistle" sounds like a train that is nagging at you when it does work, but that is only half the time. As I write this the kettle is boiling but it isn't whistling.



2) The handle can NOT be touched after you have boiled water. Think about this for a minute - they designed a tea pot of all things with a handle that will BURN you. There are high tech metals that can be used, there is silicon that can be used, there is this super high-tech material called "wood" that can also be used to prevent the handle from burning your hand. Instead, in this case you need to remember to use a dish towel or an oven mitt or else say hello to a second degree burned.

 "A lot of tea" 2009-04-27
By A. Scheliga (Houston, TX United States)
This is a great tea kettle. We already have one and gave this as a gift because our friend admired ours so much. Wow, is it expensive! I'm still not sure if it is all that and a cup tea.

 "Great Sturdy & Attractive Tea Kettle" 2009-01-27
By Organic Honey (MD United States)
For Christmas my mother requested a teakettle that was not made in China. This was not an easy quest, but I finally found a great looking group of Teakettles by Chantal (Made in Germany). She is very pleased with this kettle and although the price tag was more than I was planning to pay, it is very sturdy. The whistle is extremely loud, so you won't forget you boiling water and you can open the spout if you do not wish to have a whistle.

 "Iconic teapot" 2008-05-08
By Melissa Cosser
The Chantal Enamel-on-Steel teapot is a beautifully designed and "harmonious" addition to your kitchen. I just purchased my second for personal use, the first having lasted over 20 years and have made sure my children have one too. It is solid and well built kettle and the Hohner harmonica whistle makes it a lot of fun. The addition of the hotpad that fits over the curved handle is a great idea. That handle gets very hot.

Great kettle,,looks great and is the nicest kettle I have ever owned. I really like the look and the whistle sound is cool.

 "Crazy for Chantal!" 2000-12-22
By Michela (Seattle, WA, USA)
The Chantal 2 1/2-quart teakettle is not only aesthetically pleasing but is also energy efficient because it heats water to the boiling point in a short period of time. I bought a Chantal teakettle when it first came on the market, and I have used it on a Jenn-aire ceramic stovetop, a gas burner range, and an electric range--all with good results for heating water quickly. However, I have had to ask Chantal to replace my teakettle twice because of rust on the inside near the lid. Also the lid would become stuck in place and impossible to remove, so I would fill it with water through the pouring spout. The charming two-tone Hohner "harmonica" top of the spout has stopped playing on the one I have now. I think the reason for the problems with the Chantal teakettle have everything to do with the hardness of one's water. Yet, I love this teakettle so much that I will replace it myself if I must.

 "Beautiful but painful" 2009-12-25
By K. Hsiang (SF Bay Area)
I've had my teakettle for 5+ years. It really sits on my stove for decorative purposes but about once a holiday season, I need to boil water for the coffee press. The whistle is pleasant. However, the handle gets incredibly hot even though it is well out of the way of the steam and the handle attachment point is well above the water fill line. I've burned my hand on it. My guest have burned their hand on it. My wife has burned her hand on it. Each time, people don't expect the handle to be hot but it's hot as an iron. I've got the burn marks on my palm to prove it. I write this review telling future buyers that if you are an occasional teakettle user, this thing will burn your hand. I also write this review to make sure that I don't forget how &$^@! hot this handle gets. Maybe I'll just give it away. Sigh.

 "harmonic accord" 2009-11-17
By Morgan Powers (between Oregon and California)
I've owned the large Chantal classic stainless teakettle for about 10 years and it's still looking and sounding great. Yes, it boils water just fine, and it also gently reminds me when the pot is hot. For me, the low harmonica note is much more pleasing than a shrill whistle--particularly because it's audible throughout my open-space house. My teakettle has moved from state to state with no dents or dings, unlike the cheaper brands I've owned, whose colored coating has chipped or plastic parts broken. The bottom is still perfectly flat and smooth--I even used it on a flat cooktop with no problem (the manufacturer says it's suitable for induction cooktops). As advertised, the wide removable lid makes it easy to clean the interior, although I haven't noticed any deposits that warrant scrubbing. I was told by the store (Williams Sonoma) to hand-wash it, a possible drawback; fortunately a soapy sponge does the trick, because it's a target for spills and splatters on my crowded range. This was my first splurge on cookware for myself, and my guilty qualms and sweaty palms were well worth it: apart from its enduring utility, this teakettle is the one pot in my kitchen that's on "display," front and center, day after day. I'm not trendy, and fortunately, this 25-year-old design isn't either. It may not be the prettiest teakettle, but to me, its enduring form and function strike just the right balance.

 "The best" 2009-06-11
By grandma maggie (San Mateo,CA)
Have never had a better tea kettle.Ever. Highly recommend it, worth the money. Whistle is loud and easy to hear throughout the house. Little mitt for handle makes pouring the hot water a breeze. The best!

 "expensive, but elegant" 2008-12-13
By Marvin Taylor (USA)
This teakettle looks so good in a stainless steel kitchen, I am reluctant to even use it.

 "Looks great, poor performance" 2008-09-08
By nb
I bought this high end kettle thinking I would get a reliable tea kettle. Although it is beautiful, the handle gets extremely hot and requires a pot holder to pour the water. The tea kettle gets stains from my gas burner and this requires extra maintenance. Lastly and most disappointingly was that the kettle leaked from the pour spout only 1 year after I purchased it. For the price I paid, I thought I could get at least 7 years out of it. I would not recommend purchasing this kettle. I'd look for something more reliable for a more affordable price.
