Customer Reviews of Chantal Brushed Stainless 1-1/3-Quart Tea Ball
Customer Rating:   Summary: Flawed design Comment: Sure, this kettle looks great, but it has some major design flaws. The handle stays cool, but it curves down beside the body of the kettle so it is hard to get your hand around it without brushing your fingers against the side of the HOT kettle. Ouch! Also, the whistle is not hinged like the ones on more expensive Chantal kettles, it just sits on top of the spout. The first time I heated some water in the kettle the whistle cap went flying across the kitchen when the kettle got hot. It is supposed to whistle, not send a projectile across the kitchen. Hey, at least I knew the water was ready. Finally, the inside is stainless, not enameled, so be prepared for tea stains inside if you like to brew your tea bags in the kettle like I do. I returned this item after my bad luck. The more expensive Chantal kettles have some small design problems, but nothing as bad as this. The Ball kettle also has a very small capacity and the bottom is small so it likely won't completely cover the eye on your stove. Customer Rating: Summary: Tea Ball + and - Comment: I like the look. It is great color. The down side is there is a warning the plastic whistle will melt on a gas stove and the base is pretty small. Customer Rating: Summary: Great item Comment: Great tea pot,beautiful item made to last forever and a great price with free shipping. Customer Rating: Summary: Style and quality with an air raid siren. Comment: First of all let me say that this little tea kettle is just cool looking! We have the brushed steel version and it looks really nice on our stove. It's smaller than normal but holds enough for a few large cups of tea. If you fill it too high the whistle wont work properly but if you look on the inside of the kettle there's actually a little line (probably from manufacturing) that I use as a guide and I never have problems with it. The harmonic whistle is a lot nicer than the standard squeal but its tone reminds me a bit of an Air Raid Siren. The first time I heard it I wasn't sure what the noise was. But I like it and my fiance loves it, it looks nice and it's good and solid, sturdy design. Great product. Customer Rating: Summary: tea ball Comment: this tea ball I purchased is very elegant * durable & it whistles w/ a pleasant sound when the water starts boiling. I am fully satisfied. More Reviews This Tea Ball Tea Pot from Chantal features the same great quality as its classic kettles. The Teapot is stainless steel with a heat resistant handle and detachable whistle. The teakettle holds 1.3 quarts. 
Choosing Appliance -> Ladles Look for ladles that are made of one piece of stainless steel rather than a handle and dome which are spot welded together. With use, spot welded ladles tend to come apart. Buy several differnet sizes. Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Washer When shopping for a new washer, look for a front loading (horizontal-axis) machine. This machine may cost more to buy but uses about a third of the energy and less water than a top-loading machine. With a front loader, you'll also save more on clothes drying, because they remove more water from your clothes during the spin cycle. Look for the Energy Star label.
