Rating: - Chantal Kettle for generations
We got tired of cheap, flimsy teakettles burning through the bottom and corroding on the inside after a couple of years normal use. When we got our Chantal Kettle over 10 years ago we could feel the difference in the heavy guage steel with a hard porcelain enamel finish. In 10 years of daily use this kettle has had lots of abuse and still looks like new. No discoloration, no corrosion anywhere. The Hohner Harmonica whistle is music to my ears and the insulated stainless handle makes it easy to lift the kettle without a pot holder (unless overheated on a gas flame!). We often give these as gifts and find that people treasure them for years and years. Anyway, the teakettle of choice for Jerry Seinfeld's kitchen is good enough for me

Rating: - Pretty but Poorly Conceived
The kettle's form is beautiful. It's by far the most attractive everyday kettle I've come across.

However, I think the kettle is designed poorly, especially considering the somewhat hefty price tag.

Notes: 1.) The metal handle (directly in the line of steam) gets very, very hot. A thick potholder or oven mit is a necessity when pouring tea.

2.) The multi-tone whistle, while harmonic, is a bit shrill.

3.) The water boils almost instantly. Stay close to the stove.

This kettle is ideally suited to someone who needs to boil water incredibly quickly; likes aesthetically pleasing kitchen tools; and doesn't mind loud whistles, pot holders, or an above-average price tag.

Rating: - Quality Kettle
Extremely well constructed and well designed. It should last for a lifetime. It's beautiful and easy to clean. It's made of very conductive material so I don't have a problem with boiling water quickly on my electric stove. The handle doesn't get hot unless you position it so that it's heated by the element from below. Once you hear the harmonica "whistle" when the water boils you'll love it... :)
