After 2 years of little use I need to throw out the tea kettle due to rust. Surprised Chantal doesn't stand behind the product, this really shouldn't be happening to so many customers. I don't recommend purchasing the tea kettle, it's not worth the high price tag.

I've had my cobalt blue Chantal kettle for about 18 years and I'm a tea drinker, so it gets a lot of use. I've never had a problem with it, at all! That whistle certainly alerts me no matter where I am in the house.

I own the smaller classic tea kettle...beautiful high shine stainless. I keep it for its looks on the cooktop. Whistle no longer works and a piece of "plastic" (who installs plastic inside the hinge in something that will get boiling hot??) has fallen out of the hinge in the flip lever. So since I cannot get them on the phone as I once could, I cannot repair it. In addition, they no longer make the smaller kettle - nor the larger in polished stainless. I don't trust them any more since they do not answer the phone.
BUT anyone who complains about rust or pitting does not know how to use a tea kettle of any make or type. Immediately upon boiling water and pouring it, pour out the rest of the water while still boiling and leave kettle completely open. Water will evaporate and never rust! This is the proper way to care for a good kettle...never leave water standing in it!

Purchased the stainless version a number of years ago. It still looks like new and aside from once having to tighten the screw, no issues whatsoever. The whistle is as loud as a train. I'm proud to have it on my stove top and would recommend it to anyone in search of a beautiful and well constructed kettle. I'd buy it again without hesitation.
Pros: Durable, Quality, Design

I agree but
You can only get brushed stainless now...the polished stainless was beautiful...gleaming! The whistle no longer works...cannot get help from Chantal...they have changed...not good at service as they once were.

Love the look and the harmonica whistle but after buying three teakettles, I've given up. All rusted on the inside and the harmonica disc fell off on two.
Pros: Color, Size, Shape, Design
Cons: rusts and whistle disc fell off

This is my second Chantel whistling teakettle and I love everything about it. Quality, style, shape, how it works, how it whistles, it's simply the best. I use mine every single day and would never switch to a different product (I've tried many). I hope they will still be making them when I'm old and gray.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Easy to Store, Size, Versatile, Shape, Design, Weight

Great design & great whistle

This is my 2nd Chantal kettle. I had to leave my 1st one behind on a cross-country move, so I was so excited to finally get a replacement. My husband, who never comments on kitchen items, loved the whistle and loves making tea for us in the kettle. The whistle is so delightful, I look forward to hearing it in the morning! No problems with Chantal ever, if you use as directed you will be fine. My only wish is that WS would offer more colors or a non-brushed stainless version.

Love the design, very proud to show it in my kitchen. Eventually, after a few months, the whistle didn't work, I could have lived with that. I used the kettle every day. Then, about a year later, the kettle started to rust in the inside. Contacted Chantal customer service who said that I must have "misused" the kettle and there was nothing they can do. I bought the stainless steel one for over $100. For that premium price I expected a product that would last more than two years without making you drink rust from a "stainless steel" kettle. I am very disappointed that Chantal would not stand by their products.

Review 9 for Chantal Whistling Teakettles
great tea kettle

I had tried 2 other brands of stainless steel kettles from W-S, and both ended up leaking at the base of the spout. I bought this kettle because the spout is set high enough up on the body that it doesn't leak. I love the train whistle sound, and the little potholder handle provided with the kettle is useful.
After 7 or 8 years of faithful service, I need to replace it, because my husband forgot to close the top when he boiled water, so he wasn't alerted by the train whistle and forgot about the kettle until all the water evaporated. The bottom layer separated partway, it still works but takes longer to heat up, and since it's a user error and not a product defect, we'll buy a new one. The stainless steel version seems the more durable choice.
W-S was great about replacing both of the initial kettles which developed leaks. Excellent customer service, which is why I'll return there to buy the replacement.
