Chantal Classic Teakettle, 1.8 QT, Enamel On Steel, 2-Tone Harmonica Whistle, Rapid Boil and Even Heating (Almond)

This is my first Chantal product. I researched a good tea kettle and based on the reviews and beautiful aesthetics I settled on this one. The only negative I have is that the item is advertised as brand new and the price reflects as such. It came inside an amazon box along with other items I ordered but the tea kettle had no other packaging other than a small tag attached via a chain. It looks new but it was definitely NOT NWT. I seriously doubt Chantal products are sold without ANY packaging. I kept the rating at 5 stars b/c this is most likely due to the seller and not the product quality. That being said - I love this tea kettle! It looks great in our kitchen - black granite counter tops with stainless steel appliances. I have only used it 3x so far but the whistle sounds good and the water heated up fast enough for me. Cleaning it so far has been fine. The handles don't really get in the way - maybe if you have large arms and hands this could be an issue but I am 5'4" and have no problem getting my hand in there to clean it. It's a tight fit but manageable. I have to remember to move it when I am cooking - just to keep it free of cooking splatter etc. It is still shiny and a pretty addition to the kitchen. The capacity is perfect for me. I have a HiWare 50oz glass drip-free carafe (pitcher) I like to keep tea in and the capacity in this kettle is perfectly matched to my pitcher. It feels of good quality and I feel like it will last a long time in our home. I hope the whistle lasts and does not have an issue other reviewers have of breaking. The finish is more of a brushed steel as opposed to a high polish - which is great b/c that helps keep it looking nicer longer. I know I rely heavily on reviews. Please acknowledge if you found this review helpful Thank you.

This is the second Chantal teapot that I have purchased. I had the first one for more than 10 years. I replaced it because the enamel started to flake on the inside. After looking online for a replacement, I decided that most of the teapots were not of the same quality. The price was a little higher than most other teapots, however, I decided to purchase another Chantal. I am very happy with the purchase. The quality of the product has not changed over the years. I highly recommend.

This is our second kettle. The first lasted many years. This lasted one month! Serious concern is the flaking enamel glass that can be digested. Picture shows the various sizes. See other similar reviews reporting same problem. That is the first most important message. Second- See the advertising claim: Premium "boiler" enamel lining provides extra durability for long-term performance. Long term must mean 2 months for this claim to be true! Third - Customer support. The good news, they were very responsive - speed, but not satisfying in resolution. Based on the default after one month, I expected a replacement. Chantal Corp Response on 21APRIL2021 postulated the cause as being thermal shock ("consistent with thermal shock"). Read: consistent with operator error, not manufacturing error! How could Chantal even come close to admitting a possible culpability in hazardous especially in light of their advertising claim! For this operator, we still use the first kettle as we have for many years with no thermal shock issues. Chantal did not address the rust. I suspect the enamel separated from the metal and corrosion aggravated the situation such that the enamel broke loose. Warranty - They said that this was not covered by warranty. AND they would provide another one for ~$75! If this is possibly going to cause a hazardous condition due to operator error (thermal shock), why would anyone spend another dollar on this product? A kettle! What is there to warrant?? How about failure of the enamel? Bottom line: The kettle is beautiful; the whistle is as advertised; the interior has dangerous issues; Chantal has a very courteous and quick response, but not satisfying. Buy this for show or as a flower pot. If one uses it, pour the liquid through a paper filter until they really determine the cause.

A beautiful kettle! Handle stays cool, This is the second one I’ve had in 40 years. I wash it in the dish machine as necessary.

I bought this kettle in 2016. It is now 2020. I bought the shiny stainless steel model and it has worked like a charm and I hope to keep it much longer. I decided to take a look on this site to see if it was still available because I cannot stand the high pitched whistle of other tea kettles. This has a much lower tone but you can hear it anywhere in the house. I am totally shocked to see so many negative reviews but they mostly seem to be with the enamel ones. If I had to...I'd love to purchase this again but the reviews are worrisome. I use the kettle daily so it has had tons of use over 4 years so far. I absolutely love it and hope the company figures out what is happening the quality of some of these kettles. I still recommend it highly based on my experience.

So my wife loves this tea kettle. She uses it at least twice a day, practically everyday. A couple caveats... If you have a traditional gas stove, keeping it shiny and char free might be next to impossible. Her previous one was charred horribly. That said, I ended up replacing it when the whistle top broke off, and the kettle stopped whistling. However, her new one was remained char free, as we now have an electric stove. With the new stove, it's easy to keep nice and shiny, following the easy care instructions, including making sure the kettle is emptied fully after each use.

The whistle is wonderful! My husband and I can actually hear it. The tea pot is beautiful on top of our stove. UPDATE 1: It has been about a year and I am so disappointed. The interior of our red enameled Chantal has this "lining" which is no good: .....Premium "broiler" enamel lining provides extra durability for long-term performance...... I discovered today that this interior is eroding. There is a hole, dead center on the bottom that is still eroding and getting into the water! How can any company make a tea kettle at the price of $84 made of materials that don't even last a year ! Indeed, that lining should never erode, nor any interior they decided to use. We need the loud whistle, so I'll try the stainless one because it seems that it doesn't have this coating on the inside. I wanted a porcelain or enameled interior to not experience the nickel contained in stainless. Maybe I'll just look for a good copper kettle. I don't know what they mean by ...."broiler enamel lining" ..... I know this -- I didn't deserve, nor my husband to have these "lining" particles in our tea. btw -- we have treated our red enameled Chantal like a piece of gold. It was never abused, and it looks brand new. The red enamel looked so beautiful on my black glass-top stove & we have red pots/pans. I don't recommend the ------> Premium "broiler" enamel lining provides extra durability for long-term performance <-------- for health reasons. Typical these days of Made in China products. Buyer beware.

L♥️VE it however not a cheap Tea Kettle…..

After a few months of use, the inside bottom layer was eroding. We had to dispose of it.

持ち手が金属剝き出しなのが海外製って気がします。湧いた時の音が聞きたくて何回もお湯を沸かしました。

Makes us smile each time it sings

内部コーティングの剥離が始まったため、２０年近く使ってきた先代を泣く泣く処分。某有名デザイナーのやかんを購入して、しばらく使ってみたものの、沸騰しても分からないは、注ぎ口からお湯をたれ流し続けるは、…で散々。使えば使うほど不満が募って、同型の色違いを買い直し。手元に届いたケトルを眺めてみて、このデザインが好きだったんだということに気づいた。そして何の加工もしてないように見える注ぎ口から一滴もお湯が垂れないのが凄い。笛の音も便利。並行輸入品ではあることを気にする方がいるかもしれないけれど、正規輸入品だった先代と比べての「差異」は「内部コーティングの仕方」くらいだと個人的には思っている。

もう少し容量が大きいケトルが欲しかったのですが、気に入る物がなくてずっと探していました。シャンタールの他の形にしようと思っていましたが、水がもれるとレビューに書いてあったので、やめて、こちらにしました。色も形も気に入りました。音もピーではなく、ファーといった感じ。今までのより少し大きい音で、初めは気になりましたが、2Fまでよく聞こえていいです。蓋があけにくいのでマイナス星1つです。熱い時に困ります。
