Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Uplift Teakettle, Brushed Stainless Steel
Customer Review: The best tea kettle I've ever owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not sure what the other reviews are about...personally, I love this tea kettle! Made of brushed stainless steel, it's sturdy & beautiful & completely functional in every way.
You push the handle up, and the spout opens. Push the handle down, the spout closes. You never have to touch a burning hot spout ever again... and splash yourself with hot water in the process! The handle also has a rubber grip which prevents it from getting too hot to handle, although it does get warmer the longer you leave the kettle on the stove.
The whistle on my tea kettle works fine, although it isn't very loud, and the water needs to be at a steady boil before it will whistle. I like that! I hate ear-piercing noises of any kind. However, if you live in a big and/or noisy house, maybe this isn't the tea kettle for you.
I also like the fact that you aren't forced to use the tea kettle with the whistle operative... you can open the spout and not have it whistle at all. This is a nice option when people in your household are still asleep... just don't leave it on the stove and forget about it!
The top is hard to open... so don't open it! Just fill it from the spout. It's so much easier to do it this way. There's no need to open the top unless you're cleaning the tea kettle. The opening has nice smooth edges, too, so you won't cut yourself... unlike some other cheap tea kettles.
This tea kettle was well-designed and executed in every way. I've owned $150 tea kettles in the past... they don't touch this one in terms of ease of use and functionality. It' the best.

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.

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
