"The first time I heard it in the store, I liked it!"
I like the way it felt in my hand. It looks clean and sleek. It has such an inviting sound and quite a conversation piece! I also like the easy flip cap over the spout for dispensing water. Now, I want to get one!

"not worth the $$"
I bought this kettle last year and I'm yet to find it worth the money I paid for it. I've never owned a tea kettle before, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I find that the handle is awkward (it blocks the stream of water when you pour into it ) and the "harmonica" whistle sounds more like my fire alarm. Other than that, I guess it does its job of boiling water. But so do other cheaper tea kettles.

"Crazy for Chantal!"
The Chantal 2 1/2-quart teakettle is not only aesthetically pleasing but is also energy efficient because it heats water to the boiling point in a short period of time. I bought a Chantal teakettle when it first came on the market, and I have used it on a Jenn-aire ceramic stovetop, a gas burner range, and an electric range--all with good results for heating water quickly. However, I have had to ask Chantal to replace my teakettle twice because of rust on the inside near the lid. Also the lid would become stuck in place and impossible to remove, so I would fill it with water through the pouring spout. The charming two-tone Hohner "harmonica" top of the spout has stopped playing on the one I have now. I think the reason for the problems with the Chantal teakettle have everything to do with the hardness of one's water. Yet, I love this teakettle so much that I will replace it myself if I must.

"Very, very happy with my Chantal 2-1/2 qt. Tea Kettle"
I have had my Chantal Teakettle for approximately 14 years (it is blue, however, instead of red). It has performed perfectly and still looks as new as the day it was purchased and given a home. Unlike other tea kettles I have owned, it has remained not only as beautiful but as strong as when it was new. Others I have had, have deteriorated in a short amount of time. I truly think this one will last a lifetime. I highly recommend it and how easy to be able to order it here.
