 Nice design, but beware the whistle! August 28, 2008
E. Botsford (Brooklyn, NY United States)
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.
 excellent customer service June 11, 2008

I used to have the Oxo uplift which is very nice but a bit too modern or aggressive looking. I read most of the reviews were, and of the more attractive kettles there was some comment about someone consulting w/Chantal about how to get their kettle to whistle. Oddly enough, this is a salient complaint in many of the reviews, though I have not doubt it is only a minority of kettles of any brand that lose this ability. Anyhow, it would appear that only Chantal has some adjustments they could suggest over the phone and given no other compelling reason to chose a kettle, I chose them. Well I just melted my whistle. The Enamel Loop Teakettle is about the height of an all clad sauce pan so watch out. I called them up, and they offered a solution not on their website (they will allow me to send it in and get a discount on a new one). Quite generous. Thanks Bobby G at Chantal.

A present for my wife, this is a GREAT design. It is easy to hold and VERY easy to pour. Wife happy, me happy.
The first time you hear the low pitch of the whistle is a "what the heck is that?" experience, but a nice change from the screaming "pfffweeeeet" of the usual pot.
