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: | Owned one for several years |
| Comment: | I've owned this kettle for 5+ years and have had no complaints. I am lazy and leave water in it - no problems with rust until recently. I am buying a new one this year because the bottom is starting to show signs of wear. Overall, I think this product has lasted well. In my house it is used daily and anything that lasts more than a few years is a good get. |

| Summary: | Great...when it's not falling apart! |
| Comment: | About a year ago, I started drinking more tea than coffee at least during the winter months. SO, I needed a kettle. The first Oxo I bought lasted about 2 weeks before the littole hinge pins at the spout broke so I took it back. Now the handle on the cover has broken a screw mount so it will either have to be replaced or repaired. When it is together and not falling apart it works great. I just done have that much confidence in it's quality. |

| Summary: | Design Flaw |
| Comment: | This teakettle has a design flaw. The handle on ours started to come loose within a month or so. It has to be retightened every week or it almost falls off. The loosening occurs at the spot where the handle is attached and by the uplift, which creates a constant yank on this spot. Very frustrating for an expensive, otherwise good tea kettle. Don't but it. The problem is inherent on the design. |

| Summary: | Good-looking but rusts and leaks |
| Comment: | My wife and I had registered for this at Macy's as a wedding gift. While it looks great and is easy to use, we're going to have to replace it after just a few months because the joint around the body and the bottom has completely rusted and now slowly leaks water. |

| Summary: | Over 1 year and still whistling strong! |
| Comment: | 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 |
