This tea kettle has been perfect for me. It looks great in my white kitchen, but more importantly, it functions beautifully. I've been using it several times a day since I received it (about a month ago), and I have seen none of the issues that other reviewers have observed. The inside has not rusted, chipped or degraded in any way. This was of the utmost importance to me, because I don't like the idea of consuming toxins from cookware. I had previously purchased a kettle from Turkey (on Etsy), and in less than 1 week the interior started pitting - and I have no idea what the metal that was touching the water consisted of. In contrast, this Chantal kettle has maintained its integrity, it whistles loudly, and the lid fits just fine - not too small, not too large. I don't even use a potholder with it: when the whistling starts I take the kettle off the burner, leave on the lid, flip up the spout & pour. Once the cup(s) is/are filled, I empty the pot in the sink through the spout (keeping the lid on). There is no burning water anywhere (except in the sink). The final step is to simply remove the cap & let everything air dry on the stove. This is a great functional kettle & I am very happy with this purchase!
