ChantalClassic Loop Enamel on Steel Whistling Tea Kettle, 1.8 quart (Red)

I love the shape and red color of this kettle. I only gave it 4 stars because it doesn't whistle very loud.

The color was perfect. Love the "no-seam" construction and the total use of ceramic inside makes it ideal for us!

Great quality

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.

To make tea

I ordered the same style as mine that I've had for a few years because my daughter loved the "air raid" whistle on mine. We are disappointed that the whistle is more like a whistle and not like mine. I like the lever lift handle which is nice for a one handed pour. Love the white!

I bought this teapot as it was easy to use with arthritic hands and it looked good. After a month, despite careful handling, the enamel began chipping. Customer service told me it must’ve been my fault, but offered me 20% off a new one plus $20 shipping. Their response to my denial of careless handling was very snippy. That was their best offer, which I refused.

I've heard that enamel tea pots don't hold up well, but I love the look of this and it looks great in my kitchen. I haven't actually used it yet.

The kettle is lovely but has now stopped whistling after only a few months. I have contacted seller twice but had no response.

購入後、1年6カ月で笛の部分が破損。本体は全く問題ないので修理ができるか問い合わせると、「平行輸入品のため修理受付はできない。」との回答。このケトルを購入以前に国産の製品を使用していましたが、同様の価格で10年以上破損はありませんでした。デザインはとても魅力的ですが、毎日使う製品なので、耐久性も大事かと思います。とても残念です。

たかが「やかん」なのですが、随分探してやっと決定できました。「笛吹き」であることが必須だったため選択肢が狭まってしまったこともあるのですが、このケトルは機能、デザインが両立しています。写真には無いのですが、内側は艶のある綺麗な深くてビビッドなブルーです。（私が購入した時は）お湯を注ぐ時にこぼれてしまうことがあるのですが、それは恐らく私が適正な量を守っていないからと思います。

オシャレです。でも、置いておくとかっこいいってだけです。まず重い。水を入れるのに、持ち手が固定されていることと、注ぎ口を開くための押さえがついているので、両方がじゃまで水を入れにくいです。沸いたお湯を注ぐのに、押さえを握らないと注ぎ口が開かないのですが、それが固い固い！使用するには、大変不便な品物です。見栄えだけは良いです。

やはりデザインがいいので見るとテンションが上がります。もう一つごく普通のステンレスのやかんもあるのでそちらで麦茶を作ったりしてこちらはおもにお湯を沸かすのみで使用してます。給水など慣れないせいか使いにくい点もあるけど笛吹きケトルは便利ですし、ウチのキッチンはリビングからまる見えなのでよくケトルを褒められます！
