Summary: Solid construction with good fit all around, but 2010-06-12
Comment: The only reason I wouldn't rate this five stars: the spout tends to allow water to run over and down the side of the kettle when pouring slowly. It's a difficult phenomenon to describe, but I'm sure most of you are familiar with it. You're pouring a liquid from one vessel to another and the lip is just not quite good enough to prevent some of the water from simply spilling over the side rather than pouring in a perfect stream. It only happens when you are pouring somewhat slowly, so it may not be an issue for everyone.

Summary: Pretty but poor quality 2010-02-10
Comment: The handle on the kettle is not connected very well and allows for a lot of "bounce" when you are lifting the kettle, traditionally instability is not something I look for when poring boiling water. Also, when you lift the lid you need to lift it from the top of the kettle and then immediately move it to the left or the right, since there isn't enough clearance (b/c of the handle) to remove the lid naturally.
The color is nice and they did a nice job on the ombre effect. I expected more from Le Creuset.

Summary: Elegant Tea Kettle plagued by Shale 2009-11-27
Comment: It merits five stars for the appearance, but only three stars given the way it holds up for the price (I've used it for 4+ years). The care instructions say that excess water should be poured out between uses to prevent shale from forming on the inside. If you pay for bottled water or filtered water, you may not want to dump out unused water. But even if you empty it as instructed, I doubt it would prevent the interior finish from deteriorating. Towel drying the inside after each use may prevent those metal blotches that look like rust, but it's hot in there! Handle stays cool. No problems pouring or filling. Lid stays securely in place even upside down. Exterior is super easy to clean with soap. I'm likely to buy another just because of how lovely it looks on the stove. The Kiwi shade is to-die-for!

Summary: Do not buy this teakettle! 2009-11-03
Comment: I love the color and style of this teakettle, however, only after a month of use the enamel inside the kettle degraded and black paint and decorative metallic particles were leaking in my tea. I never abused it though! Highly disappointed!

Summary: Just as advertised 2009-11-02
Comment: The Halo tea kettle showed up as described from Amazon. The lid is tight fitting, but I wouldn't want a loose lid! The whistle is nice and loud and easily turned off by flipping up the whistle component.
I love the bright colors of Le Creuset and the halo didn't disappoint.
I would purchase the tea kettle again.
