OXO Good Grips Pick Me Up Tea Kettle, White

 (12 customer reviews)

Works pretty much as expected and advertised. The white goes great on my white stove. I was worried about it picking up sprays and spills from things cooked nearby, but so far that hasn't been a problem. It still looks great. A word of general advice, reading reviews before purchase I noticed people had different comments about how loud or soft the whistle is (for any kettle, not just this one). I realize now that's kind of a moot point, as it's so highly relative. Personally, I need a louder whistle so I can hear it down the hall. This one is loud enough, I just have to make sure no TVs/music are playing.

Nice design but poor materials. I've had this tea kettle in the past and loved it. Unfortunately the old one was dropped on a stone floor and damaged -- understandable. I thought this would be a good replacement. It does not seem to be the same quality as the old one. The black plastic on the spout melted. I don't have an industrial stove just a regular household stove. I didn't boil it for hours or let it go dry. It's quite shocking that a reputable brand like OXO would use plastic with such a low melt point. Why? This plastic became soft and disfigured within a few days of purchase and use.

This is a very nice, well designed tea pot. I purchased it a couple of years ago and am only getting the chance now to review it - which is not a bad thing since now I can tell you after years of use I still like it and it is holding up very well - we use ours every day. With others I've had in the past, my chief complaints have been with the whistle feature ceasing and the difficulty in accessing the inside for cleaning. Well I can tell you that the whistle still works and this one is very easy to clean, especially with the non-stick surface. Another plus is the large rubber grip handle which makes it easy to pick-up without the need for a potholder. I like most of Oxo's products - I think they are well thought out products and really are good for those of us who may have difficulties doing things with our hands. And I almost forgot one of the best features - the spout opens soon as you tilt the kettle to pour - no more burning your fingers to get that spout open or worse yet...Read more
