Chantal Bridge Enamel On Steel Teakettle, Festive Green

 (13 customer reviews)

I bought this kettle a couple of weeks ago at a discount store. I am very pleased with it. Waters boils faster than any other pot or kettle I have used on my gas stove. It pours well, and the handle doesn't get too hot. I can actually flip open the spout and pour without using a pot handler. Whistle is okay, but I wish it was a little louder. Pretty yellow color, warm but not garish. Well made. My older, very expensive Chantal kettle was rusting on the inside. This one appears to have a better finish.

Did a lot of comparisons for tea kettles and this one won. When you are boiling the kettle doesn't make a lot of boiling sounds like the cheap tin kettles, and the whistle is nice and low-toned (not obnoxiousness) but still easy to hear. Durable and feels great, easy to clean outside, the inside has a blue enamel (pretty), and it holds a good amount of water for 4+ cups. Lid fits on nice and snug and the lip is sturdy....awesome tea kettle, worth every penny.

I purchased my kettle a few days ago at TJ Maxx for $30. It's adorable, I bought it in the red. It works fine, heats fast, stays warm for quite a while. I have no idea if this is supposed to have two-tone harmonica whistle or not (like the higher priced Chantal kettles advertise), it only makes a high shrill typical whistle noise, which is OK considering I paid a lower price. The label said it was the "Arch" model, but it looks exactly like this Bridge photo. The one thing I was concerned about was how hot did the metal get on the pouring spout. This has turned out not to be problem. I can tip the spout up and down with my finger without burning myself when I pour the heated water.
