Summary: Cute but has some minor problems 2010-04-27
Comment: First the good news - it's cute, well built, and works just fine. I like the way the whistle sounds - it's basically just an old school, classic kettle whistle.
The bad news - The single most annoying thing is that it dribbles when you pour. I don't know why it's so hard to make a kettle that doesn't drip but if you care about that keep looking. I've also had some issues with the handle or the spout cover being very hot - it really depends on how cold the water was to start, and which burner I'm using. Because the base of this kettle is so small it's easy to have a burner that's actually a little bigger and there's a lot of extra heat going up the sides. A more flat bottomed kettle is a lot more efficient.

Summary: Attractive and functional, even if it sounds like a dying cat 2010-04-07
Comment: After a lot of research, I went with the golden yellow version of this tea kettle. It looks really great in my kitchen and the shape and vibrant-colored enamel make me smile. So far there haven't been any problems using it on my gas stove. The handle stays cool, but the metal spout gets a little hot (but does cool down fast). The one con here is the whistle; it's not pretty. Some online reviewers said they could barely hear it, but mine is loud and shrill. I don't understand why Chantal can't make this with the pleasant, harmonica-style whistle that my last tea kettle (a cheap, dangerous piece of trash) managed to have.

Summary: Quality, Durable, Quiet 2010-02-10
Comment: 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.

Summary: Excellent kettle for induction top range. 2010-01-27
Comment: Kettle works beautifully on my induction range. The lever that operates the whistle does not get hot, nor does the handle. I would recommend this to anyone who has an induction range. I am sure it would work just as well on other ranges.

Summary: nice kettle, whistle not wonderful 2010-01-12
Comment: 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.
