Product Description
No need to flip any levers or touch the spout cover in any way thanks to the ingenious design of this kettle from OXO. Simply lifting the kettle up opens the spout cover automatically so you can pour easily and safely. The handle is made of neoprene to provide a secure and comfortable grip.
Amazon.com Review
Bring out the scones--the Uplift teakettle covers all the bases when it comes to making tea. Its spout opens when the nonslip, heat-resistant handle is lifted, keeping fingers and hands far away from scalding steam. The removable lid is extra wide for easy refilling and simple cleaning. Its 2-quart capacity ensures that there'll be enough tea to go around, even if you're entertaining guests from the other side of the pond. Made of sturdy brushed stainless steel, this kettle will last through many a teatime.

The Good Grips line is recognized for its durable, nonslip, flexible handles. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handles put less tension on the hands while still providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets, the handles are slip-proof when wet or dry. OXO recommends hand washing the Uplift teakettle. --Laurie Notaro

Summary: Plastic spout cover melted 2010-03-06
Comment: This kettle works great but after two years of use the plastic spout cover has bubbled and melted from the heat. Who knows what icky plastic vapors I have inhaled in my kitchen...and I really have to wonder why they put plastic in an area subject to so much heat! The kettle has also become stained and messy looking, but that's probably my fault for not scrubbing and polishing it every day.

Because of the otherwise great functional design, I would buy another one of these *IF AND ONLY IF* it had an all-stainless spout cover.

Summary: How long should a tea kettle last? 2010-02-27
Comment: If your answer is 5 years, then this tea kettle will meet your needs. If you expect quality that will last for decades (and come on, there aren't many moving parts here), then look elsewhere. I've had mine for 6 years, and after 5 it stopped whistling. This is really dangerous because it's easy to forget that you've turned the stove on. Another reviewer mentioned the seal going bad. Mine never suffered from misuse, overboiling, etc. Also, the enamel on the outside is starting to degrade. I'm on Amazon now looking for a replacement, and it won't be another OXO.

Summary: Great Tea Pot 2010-01-31
Comment: This is an upgrade for me, to replace the one I purchased 5 years ago. Very heavy construction and ease of use make this a great tea pot for my kitchen.
Customer Rating: 1 Star
Summary: Poor quality, like everyone says 2010-01-24
Comment: I actually purchased two of these. The second was purchased when the whistle stopped working on the first (I thought the broken whisle was my fault because it ran for a few minutes). Both lasted about a year. Here's what's not to like:

1) Rubber handle splits along bottom seam
2) Whistle stops working after a short while
3) Hard to refill with water if hot, steam burns your hand
4) Lid difficult to open/close
5) "Stainless steel" mars easily, does not retain appearance
6) Takes forever to boil contents
7) Bottom seam leaks

Many other reviews echo these same experiences. While it appears to be a nice unit from a company that normally has a good reputation, it is not. Be forewarned, don't but this item.
