Summary: Sturdy, Generous-Sized and Handsome 2009-05-22
Comment: This kettle is as good as every other Le Creuset product I've ever owned. It is handsome with a simple design and a slightly ombred beige-to-ivory enamel exterior. The kettle itself is large so you can fill it with enough water to make a big pot of tea or a full container of coffee (I use it to boil water for a Chemex coffee maker) without it sputtering and boiling over. The handle doesn't get too hot to touch and the whistle gets your attention without giving you a headache. In other words, this is a splendid teakettle and I'm delighted to have it, especially since it replaced a smaller and cheaper one by Copco that nearly disintegrated in less than 2 months. Like every other Le Creuset product I've owned, this teakettle is sturdy, the enamel exterior is a snap to clean, and I forecast that it will last for years.

Summary: No spill-free pour with this LeCreuset 2009-04-10
Comment: Product shipped promptly and arrived in good condition. Teapot looks nice on the stove..... unfortunately I can't seem to get a spill-free pour from it after it has boiled. You have to be careful not to fill too much water before heating or it will build up pressure and spurt hot water while you pour...

Summary: le creuset teapot in dijon 2009-03-21
Comment: Love the color. Looks nice on the stove. So far seems to be working well.Some concerns about the reviews I've read re. rusting inside. It's not realistic to leave it empty on the stove...would be concerned about scorching if the burner was accidentally left on. In any case, at this point I am very happy w/the product.

Summary: Unreliable Whistle! Fire Hazard! 2008-05-01
Comment: I owned two of these kettles. Right out of the box the whistle was not reliable. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. That is fine, I thought, as long as you live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment and are always close enough to hear the water boil if the whistle fails. But then I moved to a bigger place and I have burned two of these kettles since.
Why would you bother buying a tea kettle without a reliable whistle? You might as well just save the money and wait in the kitchen while you boil water in a regular pot.
Don't buy this product! This Le Creuset kettle is a fire hazard and should be taken off the market. Even you might forget to remember one day that you had some water boiling for tea, and before you know it your apartment goes up in flames
