La rouille s’est installée j’ai du finir par m’en séparer.

I purchased the gray version of this tea kettle over five years ago. I was hesitant about spending so much on a tea kettle, but it’s attractive, has a significant whistle and does the job. There’s a little bit of staining on the bottom, but other than that, it looks like it the day I received it.

Love my new Chantal tea kettle. Its so pretty on my stove.

I was so excited for this tea kettle, as I have had Chantals that have lasted years. I am so disappointed. The wooden knob on the lid broke off entirely within a few months, and the hardware is corroded. So, now, we have to fill it through the spout — not ideal for obvious reasons. Also, I can confirm others’ complaints about how the water kind of erupts from the spout (dangerous), though this only happens if it’s overfilled and poured immediatelywhile whistling. That being said, it’s hard not to overfill it when you can’t open it up to see how full it is… This was supposed to be an “investment,” but I kind of feel like I spent 70 to be inconvenienced every time I need to boil water.
