 "broken spout and no response from Chantal" 2009-02-09
By Bklyn Bookgrl (Brooklyn, NY)
We received this teapot months ago off our wedding registry and were so excited because it is a great design and from a reputable company. But the metal ring on the spout pulls off with the plastic cap so we are pouring boiling water out of a raw metal edge. After calling Chantal's customer service and being told to email photos and doing so, then repeating the call and email after a couple months and no response, it's now six months later and still no response. This is a no longer reputable company in my view.



Had same problems as other reviewers with hot handle, hot plastic cap that needs removing with cloth, and boiling water exploding out of spout if it's too hot. Honestly, I could live with all these things, though. It's the broken spout that gets me.

 "Beautiful but NOT functional" 2009-01-01
By ywnyny
This is a beautiful tea kettle, however, it has some annoyances and some major flaws. The annoyances are that the handle does get hot and the whistle needs to be removed before pouring. The flaws are that if you do not fill the kettle completely before boiling water, the spout gets very hot and when you pour, boiling water spatters all over the place. On one occasion, so much steam had built up as a result of the hot spout, that the lid popped off and burned my hand. Be very careful when you use this kettle and make sure to fill it to the edge of the spout before using.

The teakettle arrived as stated and was beautiful as is everything done by the artist Eva Zeisel. The burnished finish is gorgeous and very elegant. The slanted handle is just that extra touch of unique that is so Zeisel. The teakettle is not only amazing in form, its technology makes it functional as well.

Had hoped the design would have a very cool handle and be "heat friendly". Reality is handle does get hot and the whiste spout must be removed with a cloth before pouring. That said, it is very pretty and well made. I paid $55.00 with shipping so I am happy.

 "Misrepresented product" 2007-11-07
By Real Person (Ukiah, CA USA)
Unfortunately, this Teakettle appears to only be available in enameled Red from Amazon, when I ordered it, it had been labeled brushed stainless steel. Amazon paid for an exchange and promptly sent me another red enameled teakettle. Needless to say they paid for the full return and now have labeled the kettle appropriately Red enamel. The picture misrepresents the description now as it indeed is still a brushed stainless steel kettle.



It looked nice, but I didn't take it out of the box.

 "Dribbles when pouring" 2009-12-10
By L. C. Sheppard
This kettle is quite handsome. The red is swell. It darkens a bit to a richer red when it gets hot, then returns to its original hue when it cools (the interior, surprisingly enough, is cobalt blue). The kettle is weighted well, a reassuring heft. The lid snaps smartly in place. The whistle is slightly on the piercing side. That is good if you don't want to forget that you're boiling water--it will certainly let you know that the water is steaming. I have returned my kettle, however, after using it once. I returned it because water trickled down the exterior of the spout to the base and spilled everywhere when pouring. No matter how fast or slow I poured water from the kettle, water dibbled and spilled. I was disheartened with this dysfuntion. Perhaps a faulty chrome ring at the tip of the spout is to blame? I could not decipher the issue and so returned it to MOMA, from whence it came. If you obtain one of these kettles and it doesn't dirbble, well, you'll have a fine tool. Personally, I will not attempt another, however.

 "Love the Design of my EVA Teakettle " 2009-03-13
By Fay Kowitz (Orange, CA)
I just love the design of the EVA Teakettle. This kettle is a replacement for our 10+ years old, ever dependable, inexpensive enamel kettle that was starting to rust. When I started my teakettle selection process, I noticed I couldn't locate any local retailers that carried the EVA in stock so I could physically check it out for balance, weight, etc., prior to purchasing. I decided to go ahead and order it based on the few reviews online and Chantal's reputation for making excellent teakettles.



I ordered the Chili Red kettle and it is a beautiful addition to my stove top, as well as accent piece in my kitchen. I like the feel of this kettle very much. It has great balance and the capacity allows for enough water for several cups, but not too much weight for my not so young hands/wrists to handle with ease.



I thought it would be nice to have a whistling kettle this time around as my husband is using the kettle more often these days. He tends to travel thru the house while waiting for the water to boil. Chantal is known for their unique harmonic whistle. NOTE: The Eva does not come with a harmonic whistle, which was disappointing; but it does boast of a 'cheerful' whistle sound when boiling. Well, we got a screamer! So we don't use the whistle.



After less than 60 days of pleasurable use of the kettle, the sleeve at the end of the pour spout came off and will not stay on when re-inserted. I also noticed rust starting to form under the sleeve area. Yikes...I don't need that! I have contacted Chantal. They say they have not had this issue on the EVA before and are shipping me a free replacement kettle. I should receive it within the next week.



I will update my review once I have had time to evaluate the replacement kettle's usability. I cannot give a rating higher than a '3' based on my experience with the 1st EVA. I guess I am just stunned that it took less than 60 days for a $90 designer kettle to start rusting when my old inexpensive kettle took 10 years. I don't think my expectations are too high in this situation.

 "Excellent Teakettle!" 2009-12-23
By Michael J. Lerch
I got this for my wife who loves to drink tea (and for me... Hot Chocolate!). What sets this apart from the other teakettles is that this has a great design to it. The arched handle makes it easy to pour even when it's heavy with boiling water (the weight of the kettle is average for teakettles), and the handle keeps your hand from getting burned since it doesn't get hot.



Overall I gave it an excellent rating, it looks great, and we'll keep this kettle for a long long time.

 "NOT a harmonica whistle" 2009-12-10
By Soooz
I ordered this tea kettle after much searching for a moderately priced kettle with good ratings and the patented harmonica whistle, as this one advertises as having. The Chantal kettles are consistently well reviewed as being long lasting and solidly built, and the patented "Hohner Harmonica Whistle" was the most important aspect of the kettle for which I wished to purchase.



My husband owned a harmonica whistle kettle prior to my meeting him and he doesn't know where he got it, plus there is no brand name on it. My mother was visiting and loved the sound- a two tone harmonica/train whistle sound that is easy for her to hear. She wears hearing aids and does not pick up high pitches like typical tea kettle whistles. So I began a search for a kettle to buy her, and settled on this one.



The first one I received sounded like a sick cat- a high pitched sound, definitely un-harmonica-like whatsoever. I sent it back, hoping it was just a defect, and exchanged it for another. The second one can't seem to decide its sound- it vacillates between a sputtery, piercing cat noise and a high pitched whistle at irregular patterns, sort of like an old, hoarse cat choir that can't find its pitch. Both noises are nothing like a harmonica noise, and fairly disturbing to the ear that can hear high pitches. It is nothing like the two tone harmonica low sounds for which I had hoped.



I do like the ergonomic handle and I know my mother will adore the cobalt blue, but the whole point of the purchase was getting her a kettle she can hear. The kettle seems sturdy and looks as if it would hold up long term like most Chantal kettles are reviewed to do. However, the packaging says nothing about the patented harmonica whistle, despite the Amazon listing description, and I think the pricier Chantal models ($120 compared to $50) possess the harmonica sound I am looking to buy for mom. That is a pretty expensive tea kettle, and I will continue to search for a more affordable one before I choose to spend so much. For $120 I would want my tea kettle to not only whistle two pleasing harmonica tones, it should do a jig on the stove top as well.



I should have further read the reviews on Amazon before buying this specific Chantal (I had read other reviews of Chantal tea kettles elsewhere) and I would have seen that many people have problems with the whistle. Upon further inspection, I see how air escapes the lid and the cap where the whistle sits does not sit well on the pour spout. When I played with the spout and the lid, however, it didn't help the whistle sound one way or another.

 "Nice Kettle, Lousy Whistle" 2009-03-13
By D. Migliaccio (Northern Virginia)
I've had my Chantal Enamel-on-Steel 1.8 quart Loop Teakettle for just under a year now. It's a fine kettle; the enamel finish is still in good condition, it's shapely and easy on the eye, it heats water quickly. All this is incidental to the main the reason I wanted this kettle, which was its harmonic whistle. Well, guess what, folks - it's a lousy kettle if what you want is a dependable whistle.



My first whistle died about three months after I received the kettle as a birthday gift. The harmonic sound was the first to go; I got by for a week or two with a single-note whistle and then that gave out as well. I tried the cleaning methods suggested at the Chantal website, to no avail. I finally called their 1-800 number and a representative said she would send another whistle.



The second whistle lasted a little bit less than two months. Again, the recommended cleaning did not work, and again, I called the 1-800 number and was sent a third whistle.



This third whistle lasted only about three months, gasping along for its final week on a single-note whistle before that went bye-bye a few days ago. I called the 1-800 number and after pressing the appropriate buttons, was directed to a recording that recommended I email Chantal. Apparently their live customer service has gasped its last as well.



I've emailed Chantal for another whistle, but to be honest, I'm not hopeful for a response. I'll probably still use the kettle; it still boils water just fine. But if you're looking for a kettle with a dependable whistle - LOOK ELSEWHERE.

 "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.

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.

 "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.

 "As Good As Tea Kettles Get (Too Bad None Are All That Great)" 2009-07-21
By Christopher T. Dahle (Del Norte, Colorado USA)
I have to remember that it's JUST a teakettle. We bought it for the fun color and the happy sounding whistle. It heats water. The lid fastens securely so you don't have to worry about it falling off and letting hot water splash all over. The handle feels securely mounted and you can pour hot water with one hand and not get scalded.



I just wish there was a silicone gasket on the pour spout because condensate is able to drip from the whistle and does so until the water in the kettle completely cools. This is very annoying if you are a neat-freak, which, really, I am not. But still, it's annoying to have to wipe up, and since we have lots of minerals in our water, I can see that there will soon be a crust of mineral precipitate underneath the pour spout, just like on every other tea kettle I've ever owned.

 "Technical flaw" 2008-10-31
By Glenn Doroshenko (New York, NY)
The craftsmanship of this kettle is outstanding. Paint is thick and rich, will change its shade a bit with temperature. The whistle is different here, it sounds more like locomotive signal - loud and low frequency. I used it on a gas stove and whistling nose lid (made of plastic) burned at the bottom a bit jamming the whistling element, and now lid does not close tight, therefore - no whistling. Looks like this kettle was designed with electrical cooker in mind.

The main lid tends to get stuck half way when I close it, allowing steam to escape, which leads to no whistling.

The handle is ergonomically located slightly on a back for no-strain pouring and is always cool enough to touch.

Time to boil is slightly longer due the spherical shape of this kettle.
