...handle is too hot to touch...always have to use something to grab the handle to pour water - annoying.

 "Best I could find" 2009-07-24
By Natural Hoof Care Practioner (Seattle, WA)
I had an old Oxo that finally bit the dust and was looking for a replacement- thought it would be easy. I mean, how hard can it be to find a decent tea kettle? Well, I found out it's much harder than I thought. I bought an Oxo good grips and burned my hand on the handle the very first time. I make a lot of tea, so I returned it. I wanted a whistling kettle that was not made in China and was of decent quality. The Chantal is beautiful and I love the harmonica whistle. The quality of workmanship is impressive. If you don't put the kettle on a burner that is too big for it, the handle barely gets above body temperature. Even if you do put it on a big burner, the handle gets quite warm, but not hot enough to burn. The only downside is that the capacity is a little less than my old one (not a problem, just noting it) and the price- which I must admit the the most I have ever paid for a tea kettle! Nevertheless, I am VERY happy with this kettle and it looks gorgeous in my kitchen.

I've had the colbalt blue tea kettle for a while now, and if you are not careful to rinse it out every time, it will rust out on you. Mine did!

 "25 years and still an essential in my kitchen!" 2008-12-21
By Laura L. Good (The Mother Lode, CA)
I've had my Chantal tea kettle for 25 years and it still looks new! I selected it back then because of product reviews that said this was "the" tea kettle to have! It has not disappointed me over the years! It is attractive, easy to clean, boils water quickly, and the harmonica whistle is ultra cool! Every now and again, I'll add a little vinegar to the water to give the kettle a good cleaning on the inside. There is no corrosion or any other discoloration on the inside. The outside of the kettle still looks great too. And the seals/gaskets are still good but if they were in need of replacement AFTER 25 YEARS, Chantal sells the parts. If you are trying to be "green" in your product selections, choose this kettle--it will last a lifetime!

 "This is my fifth chantel" 2008-11-23
By Value for My Dollar
Yes, this is my 5th, and it's not Chantel's fault! I kept burning them over and over again. I tend to put the kettle on, paddle back to my bedroom and b4 I know it, I felt asleep, only to wake up the next morning to find that I burnt the kettle again! No kettle can withstand such abuse over and over again, except a Chantel!(I tried it with cheaper version, and it was usually done with after one burning!) That is why I keep buying a Chantel. I like the enemal-on-steel idea because the hot water will not be tainted with a taste of steel. My complaint is that Chantel took away a lot of the lovely colors, limiting the choice of color to a handful.
