Customer reviews
Updated: Taken a righteous beating and still going 2.5 years later
Update July 2023: this thing finally broke and it was all my fault. In a heated moment, the kettle got slammed down on its base too hard (I mean stupid hard) and it wouldn't make regular electrical contact. After repairing it myself (bad idea, but like I said before, I love this thing and I'm a tinkerer at heart) and recognizing my repair was slowly becoming a fire risk (totally my fault for an unauthorized sketchy and desperate homebrew repair), I replaced it with the same model in January 2021 without a second thought. No regrets - It's been going strong for the 2.5 years since! I still use it daily to boil probably a cumulative 2 gallons for tea and other things like speed-starting pasta and oatmeal with already-boiling water since this thing is so fast. At work for about 4 years we have had another popular temperature controlled tea kettle (brand name begins with C and ends in art) with push buttons for different temperatures and the print on the buttons has eroded. It's annoying because it beeps at you all the time. The C-art kettle broke this week (for the curious: the heating element somehow burned out according to a DMM) and it reminded me how much I love this kettle, so I'll probably be buying a third one of these to replace the work kettle. Original review: Use: I bought this kettle in June 2019, and have used it many times daily excepting only vacations. Me: Daily tea drinker - oolongs, green, white, Earl grey, you name it. All these teas require very different temperatures to brew in a tasty fashion. If the temperature is off, my expensive and usually tasty tea tastes like donkey doodoo and I'm grumpy and that sucks. I've put this kettle through its paces in 9 months. Pros: - heats water to 1°F increments over 170°-212° range (do your own Celsius conversions, I drink my tea in Imperial units). I don't have a calibrated thermometer, but it must be accurate enough for my tea because it's always tasty. - looks awesome: smooth surfaces and minimal design mean it's stupid easy to keep clean. And I'm a slob, so that's a miracle. - durable: I'm not gentle to devices. I don't take caution about using warm water in the kettle to avoid thermal shock on the glass and it hasn't cracked or even creaked for that matter. Cold water in hot kettle? You bet, all the time. - Fast: most of the time I start the kettle and run off to do another task - and when I'm done brushing my teeth it's done making my water hot. Awesome. Cons: - bottom temperature is only 170°F: doesn't really matter for most kettle purposes but there's been a time I wanted to have "warm" water to shortcut some baking recipes. This is only a very mild disappointment. - like someone else mentioned in their review, there was a silicone smell/taste at first. I got real nervous about having silicone flavored water coming out of my most expensive hot water maker to date, but it went away after a week or two of daily use. Haven't had it since, water tastes only like water. Summary: this kettle is totally worth the cash if you use a device like this all the time. I beat myself up with guilt for a couple weeks for covering such an expensive appliance that does such a basic thing, but if your water temperature matters then this kettle is awesome. And it classes-up my countertop with it's excellent design. If this one breaks I'll just buy another one like it, but it's still going strong after 9ish months of daily beatings. My work has one of those fancy Cuisinart temperature-select push button water kettles at work and this one is way better in both performance, reliability, and design. I basically hate Amazon but after using my kettle this morning for the thirteenthousand time, figured it had earned a positive review on this awful platform anyway. Hope that helps someone!

Great, user-friendly kettle for avid tea/coffee drinkers.
I have been using this kettle for about 2 weeks and so far, I absolutely love it. As an avid tea and coffee drinker now in healthcare professional school, I use it at least twice daily, usually more. I love the quality of OXO products, and was very excited about this kettle in particular because of the variable temperature feature to make different teas at the optimal temperature. Overall, I find this kettle easy to pick up and fill with water d/t the large handle with a soft grip. It has a huge capacity, and I love the fact that there is a temperature guide on the base for whatever kind of tea/coffee you're making. It's also really pretty on my counter. :) I have read some reviews concerning the slow pour and yes - it is slow at first. I don't consider this to be a design flaw, but rather a safety mechanism to ensure that you don't splatter yourself with boiling or near-boiling water. Does it take some getting used to compared to kettles with a faster pour? Absolutely. But as someone with a busy schedule who uses this multiple times per day, I would not say it's a deal breaker. Re: the inability to get every single drop of water from the kettle - this is an issue for every electric and stovetop kettle I've ever used, so I've come to expect it. It's not that much water, and I usually even leave water in my kettle so when I'm a zombie in the morning and every motion I take requires extra effort, I'm one step closer to my life force AKA caffeine. There does appear to be some mineral build-up on the bottom of the kettle already (I use regular ol' tap), but again, I would expect this with any electric kettle I use, considering how often I use them. It might be appearing a bit earlier than other kettles on the market, but I think given the quality and large capacity and features of this machine, it's worth it.

Slightly pricey, but it's a great product so far
Based on the pictures I saw of the kettle online, I thought it could be too big, but it's actually not bad at all (see the pic with a hand-size comparison). The kettle is not too bulky, is going to look great with my coffee bar, is slightly heavy holding one handed, but totally worth the purchase. I've used the kettle everyday for the last week (since it arrived) and I've had no problems with it. I like that the temperature I set it on (for my daily french press) is remembered every time I turn it on, so I don't have to reset it. The outside of the kettle gets foggy after use (as you can see in the pics), but it goes away if you leave the lid open for a few minutes). The only con I have found for this kettle is that inside of the kettle is a rim that catches exiting water when you're rinsing it out; I would prefer the kettle is be sleek inside so that any water put in easily comes out and does not catch on an internal ridge/rim/divet (see the pics I uploaded- I'm pointing to the rim and in the other you can see water building up/held by the rim when kettle is overturned). The first time I heated up the kettle, it took around 8 minutes to get to 200 degrees, but every time thereafter it was only 1-3 minutes. The glass and bottom silver rim do get hot to the touch, but the remaining structures no so much and the kettle base (that's plugged into the wall) is cool to the touch. I absolutely love this product and am so happy I did my research and purchased it!

Great teapot
I really like my new OXO tea kettle. It is easy to use, keeps the water warm for 30 minutes and looks great on my counter top. It took a time or two to get use to setting the temperature and turning it on. I have zero complaints. If something pops up after a month or two I will update the review. If you don’t see an update that means I am still living my OXO teakettle. UPDATE - I still am totally in love with my OXO teakettle. I had read all the reviews before purchasing and I think OXO has updated some things. First the button to turn the machine on also turn is on. The first quick press of the button, tells you what temperature it is going to heat the water to, second quick press tells you the current temperature of the water a third press will shut it off. Also once water has heated, and you have returned the pot you can press the button and it will turn off instead of keeping the water warm for thirty minutes. I have no problem with pouring the water from the teapot to my cup. I have owned many electric ones over the years and this is the best in my opinion.
