Cool little teapot
I would have preferred a more traditional styled teapot, but chose to get this one instead. That's why I gave it 4 stars--because I think it's a little odd looking compared to 'typical' teapots. Still, it's cozy, quaint, and boils water fine! :) Good buy for a good price.
NOT MADE IN FRANCE BUT THAILAND
I love Le Creuset and thought I was getting a high-quality product made in France. No where did it say it was made in Thailand when I ordered it. But on the box when it was delivered, it did. Very disappointed. I cook my food in these dishes and want to know what I'm adding to it. Le Creuset makes this very hard to discover when buying online.
It melted off!
I thought the tea kettle was amazing for the first few weeks until one day I was waiting for the water to boil and I heard a clunk on the stovetop. I look over to find the whistler blower had melted and fallen off and left the hard goo-ey stuff inside the kettle and on the stove top. I go to pick it up by the handle, and the plastic by the hindge part had melted also so when I picked it up it all fell apart. I'm not sure why it happened but it was very sad.
Literally stinks
The kettle looks beautiful, but what's the point when it stinks? Everytime I boil water in this a horrible stench emanates from the kettle. It's not the water, our water's not that bad where I am and my old kettle never put up such a smell. It might be the paint on the kettle, there might be some kind of chemical residue, whatever it is, the kettle is unusable.
I would not recommend this to anyone unless they just wanted a really pretty dust collector.
Not made in France. . .
Not worth the price. Amazon, country where made would be quite helpful with some of these items.
