OXO Good Grips Uplift Teakettle, Red



Finally... Success!
Tired of disappointments experienced with other more cumbersome and certainly less-melodic whistling tea kettles, I perused various websites for a stylish, functional replacement. The Uplift's recent reviews were consistently promising; so I placed my order, which was delivered sooner than anticipated. The Uplift is perfect: cheery red appearance, reliable harmonic whistle, easy to use without errant steam scalding my fingers, and easy to clean. I absolutely love it!.... Have you seen all those color choices?

Not sure I'd buy again
We wanted a kettle that wouldn't burn our hands everytime we used it, as our old Chantal kettle did. Well, this Oxo accomplished that, but when they say use over medium heat, they mean it. When the kettle sat on our gas range with the heat slightly higher than medium, the plastic around the whistle mechanism melted. This is not what I expected from a $50.00 kettle. Also the whistle is so high pitched it has all the charm of stone scratched over slate. Don't know if I would buy this again.

Picky in the Kitchen

Tea Pot
Gave this as a gift and it was worth every penny spent. Flat bottom for a fast boil and opens when tilted. Great for 90yr old dad and 86yo mom. Also looks great and well made.
