Not Worth the Hype for my opinion

As my tests showed, this kettle didn't deliver as promised. The handle gets too hot to handle and the pouring spout is poorly designed, leading to spills.

Pros
  • Attractive design
Cons
  • Poor handle and spout design

Dangerous and annoying

Real rating (-5), do not buy this kettle. I bought this kettle for my elderly parents because of the automatic spout opening and the compact design. It is very DANGEROUS for anyone, especially elderly or young operators, to pour boiling water over them. The only thing you want from a kettle is to POUR WATER.

Pros
  • 2.0 liter capacity
Cons
  • Poor instructions

Large dripper for kettle

Oxo normally make good kitchenware. I bought this one for its good looks and the auto open mechanism which I found useful. I assumed that the basic features one would expect from a kettle, including the lack of water drips on the outside of the spout, were self-evident. However, I sent one of them back for exactly this reason - I thought it must be a coincidence - and exchanged it for a second one that showed exactly the same behavior. Didn't anyone at the Oxo design center try them before they

Pros
  • Hand wash only
Cons
  • Something's wrong
