This review is from: Chantal Enamel-on-Steel 1.8-Quart Loop Teakettle, Cobalt Blue (Kitchen)

Like many other reviewers of this kettle (the other reviews can be found under the other color variations of this kettle) I have experienced the problem of the malfunctioning whistle. I read the negative reviews and decided to give this kettle a go because it had the best design. I wish I had listened to the other reviewers...

When we first got the kettle, the whistle worked fine. Provided you pressed down firmly on the central kettle cover, it would let out a VERY loud whistle. After 3 weeks of use, however, it suddenly stopped working. Turns out the whistle cap no longer sits flush on the spout. When I try to reseat it, it just springs up slightly, provided a gap that prevents the whistle from working.

Final conclusion: great looking kettle, but seriously flawed spout and whistle mechanisms. I wouldn't buy this kettle if given another chance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Technical flaw, October 31, 2008

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars A great disappointment., October 16, 2006

This is a beautiful kettle, but I bought it mainly for its loud whistle, which WAS truly loud when I tested it. For some reason, however, it doesn't always whistle--hence...DISASTER. I didn't hear it whistle so forgot about it, it overheated, and the black plastic melted. This is the second disappointment; the first was a Copco Virtu kettle, also beautiful, which didn't whistle at all because it was too loosely assembled. I will now have to spend almost $100 to get a kettle I can trust--one made of ALL stainless steel--no plastic.
