Editorial Review:
The Chantal Classic Teakettle in stainless steel has a timeless, yet modern design and look that is a favorite in the kitchen. Most notably is the teakettle's genuine Hohner« harmonica whistle that plays two notes. No more piercing whistle sounds that o
This solidly built, classic-looking teakettle says you're serious about your tea. The bright stainless-steel finish makes the kettle an eye-pleasing focal point on the stovetop. Even more of an attention-getter is the two-tone harmonica whistle--an amusing reminder to the household that the water is boiling and ready to pour. The flat aluminum base ensures that water heats quickly, and the lid with its black rubber gasket keeps the heat in. The boldly curved metal handle and other metal parts can get quite warm, so use a potholder when picking the kettle up and flipping up the whistle. The lid opening is large enough to make cleaning easy. --Dale Steinke

Too expensive to have a branding-hot handle:
I've had this kettle for three years. I bought it because it looks good.

Apparently it comes with a little sleeve for it now (mine didn't) but... more info
Love my Chantal tea kettle!:
I have had my lovely shiny grey Chantal tea kettle for about six years now and I still am amused to hear the harmonica sing. I manage the handle easily, it pours fine, and it's fun to show friends. I've never regretted spending this much money on this classy kettle!
Classic design but functionally flawed:
I bought my Chantal kettle on sale. I'd never pay the full price for a kettle or a Chantal kettle, no matter how pretty it was. But this kettle is very pretty and on sale so I did buy it. I'm glad to read the other reviews . . . mine never whistled when it was boiling. Or it would whistle for a couple a weeks after a descaling, but stop mysteriously. This is a problem as I always left the room while the kettle came to a boil. I dropped the kettle on the floor after almost boiling it dry because the whistle... more info
Classic Beauty:
Great in every way. Would be a 5 except for harmonica sound when boiling.
