Loop Teakettle (1.8-qt.): Onyx by Chantal

This teakettle is attractive but not terribly functional. Every time I pour water out of it, it dribbles. My husband has recommended that he punch a hole in the top so that it will vent enough to keep it from making such a mess. I feel very disappointed in the purchase.

Handle stays cool price a little high.

The teakettle works great but I am very disappointed with the color. I thought ebony was black. The teakettle is more of a gray color.

I think the kettle is beautiful but was upset to see that after using it 4 times,<br>the cover of the spout started to melt. I am planning on ordering a second one, and returning the first one in the hopes this will not happen again.

This is the second teakettle I have purchased in 6 months. The first was very unique looking, but had no whistle, the handle got very hot & the chrome pitted when I put it in the dishwasher. <br>I needed a teakettle that whistled, my husband uses it mostly & sometimes forgets to <br>turn the burner off when it is finished. <br>I really like the style of this teakettle, the whistle is unique & I know Chantal is a reputable company. <br>The only problem so far is that at first the lid was very tight & we didn't get it pushed in <br>completely all the time & heat was escaping through the lid causing it not to whistle. <br>It is loosening up a bit now & we are learning to push the lid on tightly. <br>We really like the teakettle, the materials & neat style. The handle is easy to grip & pour from & I especially like that the whistle can't be removed or left up, so we will always have a warning if we forget to turn the burner off - I think that is a very nice safety device. For a Chantal product this is a very good price.
