Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Uplift Teakettle
Customer Review: Over 1 year and still whistling strong!
Summary: 5 Stars
The OXO Teakettle is a constant companion of our kitchen. We use it to boil water for coffee on a *almost* nightly basis. The water heats up quickly (as expected) and the kettle produces an unmistakeable whistling sound. The kettle is well-constructed out 18-8 stainless steel (known as 304 stainless here in the USA) with a a pleasing brushed look. The brushed finish means that there never a need to wipe down smudge or fingerprints
Some people have mentioned that their kettle has corroded. It is important to remember that 18-8 stainless (304) is one of oldest grades of stainless. While it is unlikely that it will rust it does need to be treated with a little special care. Do not clean with overly harsh chemical (especially bleach) - try to stick to good old soap-and-water!
Pros
- Nice looking kettle! It fits in perfectly with the modern kitchen
- Nice sounding "Whistle"
- Well built - not "flimsy" or cheaply made
- Made of stainless steel (Which I prefer over aluminum)
- Well built - we have not experienced any loose screws or pieces coming off
Areas to improve
- It can be a little hard to open the top to pour the water in
- 18-8 (304) stainless is a lower grade austenitic stainless steel. While it is unlikely that it will rust - you will need to be careful in how it is cleaned NEVER CLEAN WITH BLEACH
While there are a couple of minor flaws as whole we have been very pleased with the OXO kettle. I am not sure what more any one could want in a tea kettle!
