This Teakettles give to us some advantages, like this :
1. don't buy this teakettle
I received this teakettle for Christmas 2009. By April rust was evident around the lid opening, around the pouring end of the spout, and at the point the spout joined the body where there was a hairline gap in the enamel. I followed the instructions--never left water in the teakettle, never let it boil dry, didn't bump or jostle it. I contacted Le Creuset and they said to send it back at my expense and they would decide if it merited replacing. Three weeks later the replacement arrived. It is now July and every time I put the lid on the teakettle flakes of rust pop out from under the stainless steel ring around the opening. In the last few days the rust has emerged from under the ring, so I called Le Creuset again. After being put on hold twice and finally getting referred to a supervisor Le Creuset agreed to pay the shipping to return the teakettle. As compensation they will give me a credit that I can only use to buy Le Creuset products from Le Creuset at Le Creuset prices. If I...

2. Flawed construction, flawed customer service
Although I've long been a fan of Le Creuset's cast iron enamel cookware, this teakettle is highly flawed. That's because the plastic that encases the whistle and the spout melts. That's right. A teakettle that is meant to be used on heat hot enough to boil water melts when you do so.

I'm now on my third kettle. But it's my last. I bought the first on Amazon and after using it only a couple of times on my gas stove, the entire plastic casing around the spout melted. I figured I had to have done something wrong because, hey, this is Le Creuset -- they'd never sell a tea kettle you couldn't boil water in. So I bought a second one. And despite using it carefully and conservatively, within a couple of weeks it happened again. So this time I contacted Le Creuset, which disappointingly has a rather rude customer service department, and they said I had to pay for not only shipping the flawed $75 kettle to them but also pay for them to ship back a replacement (assuming they...

A very durable classic, if you follow the care instructions.
I received one of these as a gift when I moved into my first apartment. I chose it because of the reputable name and the look of the kettle. I followed the care instructions - never filled it more than half way, never let water sit in it for more than a few hours - and the inside enamel never rusted or cracked. Unfortunately my old roommate had a kitchen mis-hap and burned the entire side of the kettle, which didn't effect the actual use of it but I didn't like the way it looked so I got rid of it. Now 4 years later I'm back to buy a second one because I loved it so much!
