Plastic Cap Melts
November 30, 2012
This is a great tea kettle except for one flaw. If you have your gas burner on too high and heat rises up the sides, the plastic cap on on the spout will melt.
Pros: Easy to Use
Cons: Quality

Try another kettle
January 2, 2012
I used this kettle on my gas stove. The stainless steel exterior began to show spots that look like rust almost immediately and the handle melted within the 1st week. Not a very sturdy kettle in my opinion.
Pros: Easy to Use, Size
Cons: Fragile

great design with a very soft wistle
June 30, 2011
Love this design. After anxiously waiting for my new kettle, which looked gorgeous on my new stainless range, the wistle could barely be heard in the next room. We have a large home and often I stat to boil water then walk off to do another project, otten forgetting about the water. Hence, the need for a very loud wistle. I was bitterly disappointed in the wistle as I really wanted to keep this one. I ended up buyng the Chantal kettle for the 5th time in my life. It's a great old work horse but I simiply wanted a change.
Pros: Color, Shape, Design
Cons: wistle is very soft.

That was a mistake
March 26, 2011
One day it lasted. One day. It was probably our fault for turning the burner on and not realizing the teakettle had no water in it but... we have made this mistake in the past and did not have the results we had with this one. It was totally ruined. Handle fell off and melted away. It was our mistake but, I don't think that for a $50 teakettle this should happen.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Design
Cons: it melted!

Only one problem
December 26, 2010
I got this for a wedding gift 4 years ago. It lasted about 3 1/2. It did great when I had an electric stove top. But then when we got a gas stove top it started having problems. The biggest one was the spout melting. I think it was just due to the flame coming around the kettle a bit. I think if I didn't turn the flame up too high it would have been OK. Like I said, it did great on my electric stove top. Also, it started rusting on the outside when we got the gas stove top. Again, maybe due to the flame? But, I think I would buy again. I think if you have an electric stove you should be fine... and if you have a gas stove just don't turn it up too high. Keep the handle on the outside of the stove so it doesn't get too hot and melt too. They really should make a better spout on this... it is on the stovetop after all. On a positive note... it is very easy to use. It pours well and the lid comes off easily to put water in. Looks great too.

Beautiful and functional!
October 17, 2010
I'm not sure why people have had problems... I've had my stainless steel kettle for several months and use it often. We've had no problems and, in fact, are quite pleased with it.
My English grandmother would have loved this updated, yet traditional, tea kettle!

large enamel chips
August 28, 2010
I received this kettle in the orange color for my wedding. I loved the cheery orange color. After making my first pot of tea with it, a large, perfect circle of the enamel came off. SInce then, the spout has rusted through and the enamel has come off in several other spots. It has lasted a whopping 4 years and now I am replacing it with a Le Creuset, who's enamel seems more sturdy. Here's hoping!

Melting Handle
July 17, 2010
The iconic rubber covering on the handle of this kettle melted after two uses. We returned the item for a new one and the same thing happened. Now off to find another brand with another approach to handle insulation!

Good boiling water but not so pretty
February 17, 2010
This OXO teapot is great for boiling water, however, do not get it close to other pots on the stove.
I found when it is next to something
hot it takes off the lovely colored paint. Hence I have a scorch disscolored
mark on the teapot just within a few days of use.

OXO teakettle was a gift for my mother during the holidays. She said the teakettle is wonderful and classy. She loves everything about it and keeps it on the stovetop whereas other appliances are kept put away.

Great Teakettle
January 10, 2010
Purchased this teakettle almost two months ago ago and absolutely love it. The whistle is loud and clear. It cleans up great and looks fabulous in our kitchen. (We have the red kettle) Would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

Long-term quality is terrible
January 5, 2010
I have owned 2 of these and each time, within a year, the inside of the tea kettle has begun to erode. I have owned several other tea kettles and have never run into this problem. i would not reccommend it!

Not Good in the Long Run
December 13, 2009
This is the second OXO teakettle I have owned. My first had a hard plastic lid that broke easily. After the 3rd replacement plastic lid, I bought this second teakettle because it had a metal lid. Two and a half years later, the metal lid has not shattered but the screws that connect the handle to the lid have broken as has the plastic liner on the lid's underside. I called OXO for a replacement metal lid months ago but have yet to receive it. In the meantime, the grip on the "uplift" handle keeps slipping off and the little red button identifying the OXO brand pops out. I expected much more from a product that bears the OXO name, would not buy another kettle and certainly could not recommend it. The design is good, the choice of materials and construction seriously flawed.

This tea kettle is wonderful
November 22, 2009
I love the way this tea kettle looks in my kitchen. I have the red one and it is a bright, sleek contrast to my stainless steel appliances. I love how quickly the water heats up and how easy it is to pour. The handle stays cool so you dont need a towel or hot pad to pour the water. The hinged lid opens nicely just by pouring the water and closes easily when you set the kettle down. Water stays warm for quite a while. Best kettle I have ever owned.

What's a kettle without a whistle???
November 1, 2009
No Whistle. I don't wanna babysit a kettle.
The automated uplift is cool though.
Not recommended overall.

Awesome Teakettle
July 1, 2009
I purchased this teakettle with a gift card I received for my wedding. I absolutely love it. It's much bigger than my old one, and you don't have to worry about burning yourself trying to open the spout. It does it automatically!
