This is the best tea kettle I have ever had and we make a lot of tea. Whistle can be heard anywhere in the house so you know when its done. Never spills over. Looks great sitting out on the stove burner.
Love my unique tea kettle

We have owned this tea kettle for about 5 years and besides me melting it by putting it on the large burner (gas) for large pots and turning it up and melting the cover of the spout, it has functioned flawlessly. The whistle is more like a train whistle which is a nice touch. Also they make this one now with a steel spout cover so I will not melt the new one. Also ** a trick is that I am lazy and so I just squeeze the spout open and fill it from filtered water instead of removing the top. I always use tea bags in the mug and this works like a charm. The shape of this is great for a gas stove as the heat wraps around it which is their intent. As far as the whistle not working there must have been a bad batch, but even if the whistle dies I would keep on using it. The handle never gets hot either.
Cool looks, great functionality, whistle issues.

It's a neat looking teakettle, holds a lot of water and does a great job of pouring (some don't - believe it or not). The spout cover can be locked open or held partially open and the handle stays relatively cool. Our one problem was the exact opposite of the other reviewer's: it didn't whistle at all! I blew through the little harmonica lid and it made noise (maybe not up to Bob Dylan standards, but it did make noise). We called Chantal customer service and they said it was a common problem. He told us to loosen the screw that holds the harmonica against the spout and it would seal better and whistle. So (being Mr Fixit) I took the whole thing apart, stretched the little spring that holds the harmonica down, turned the screw out a bit and now it seals better and whistles. Not deafening but clearly audible. So now it works, but the Chantal guys need to recalibrate the laser controlled high tech assembly robots at their cutting-edge manufacturing facility in Thailand. Uh-huh.
Keep a lid on it

Nice tea kettle. I find that if I place the lid carefully so that it seats and clicks in, the whistle will work, otherwise there is not enough steam pressure to create the (albeit unusual) whistle sound.

Part II--A month after i wrote the above, the whistle went totally silent. I've tried to fix it but I'm not as handy as the guy who wrote that he took the whole thing apart. I have a million things to take care of and--call me crazy--I expect my tea kettle to more or less take care of itself.

I'm taking it back. C'est tout! I can't change my rating on this form but I would have to give it no stars at all.
