I purchased the oxo based on this review. After owning for a few days, it’s getting returned. The test kitchen forgot to mention an extremely important aspect of this kettle. The kettle is not made of 18/10 stainless steel, it is a lower grade steel. The base of the kettle is thin steel which warps. The bottom is not flat, so it doesn’t make contact with the burner. They have tried to make up for this flaw by having the words etched on the bottom of the kettle “only use under medium heat”. The oxo kettle is disapoint8ng.
Kathleen Zimmerman 1 second ago I just received my OXO 1.7 quart yesterday. The bottom feels like sandpaper. *Is yours like that, too? * I'm trying to figure out if maybe I got a defective one. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you do much! I almost without fail take their recommendations and would have been very disappointed. They should have taken this into account and honestly tried more products.
To be fair the Hario is designed to be used for pour over coffee primarily. It pours slowly and precisely. It is not an every day all purpose kettles like the others.
I feel the gooseneck should be in it's own testing, because those are for a specific purpose, for example you're probably not going to use that kettle to fill up an entire teapot so that point wasn't really all that relevant. And if you fill up the other kettles too much they will also spit all over the stove too. I love my gooseneck that looks almost exactly like that one, but I pretty much only use it for pourovers, which is where it really excels.
Assuming it's smaller than the rest, the problem is that it'll require more water which would result in the problem they had. I do agree that it doesn't really belong there but it's nice to have in case someone sees that design and wants it.
The intended propose of a gooseneck kettle is not too fill a teapot. It's propose is to make pour over coffee Hario lists it as a kettle for coffee in their catalog, so the complaint might actually be unwarranted. Before you get on my case any being a Hario snob. I don't own anything made by Hario. I prefer another type of pour over and use a different kettle ...
I've used my $10 glass whistling tea kettle nearly every morning for the past 4 or 5 years for tea and French press coffee. I couldn't find a tea kettle made in the USA, but the glass kettle is made in Germany, so it was the next best option for me. No complaints & can't beat the price.
I don't know that I'd have included the Hario in this comparison. Although I use mine daily for all applications it is, buy design, a purpose build kettle. It offers a controlled pour for pour over coffee systems. It can sputter if over filled, so... don't do that. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone (volume might not be large enough for many), but I've been very pleased with it.
I have had my Chantal kettle since 1983. No need to replace a perfect kettle. Lid still fits snug, but not tight. The Hohner harmonica in the whistle is still blowing strong. It was $100... but has last 40 years and still going strong. I am sure it will outlive me. 😎
I love my Chantal (only 5 or 6 years old) because of all the reasons she liked the XO one only the Chantal has a flat, thicker bottom. My only complaint is the whistle is REALLY loud and I worry about hearing damage as I have to get close enough to turn it off or remove it from the burner! I’m looking into getting one of those Simplex English kettles soon because they’re GORGEOUS in an old period kitchen but also the whistle is less piercing. Sounds charming actually. But $$$. 😮
I've been using that German Schott glass kettle every morning for the past 4 or 5 years. Works perfectly. Also works very well for steaming fur felt fedoras.
I bought 2 different electric kettles ! Played around 100.00 dollars each! Died near there year end! Went to Aldi got one for $14.99! Had it or at least 6 years! Both of the expensive models were name brands, metal, hard to get your hand in to clean! One even cut my hand! Price doesn’t control quality!

Thank you so much 😊 as a single mom I look towards the test kitchen to give me honest reviews and a secret reason to save for the more fancy pieces of kitchen were in the future so I can be fancy and frugal. 😁
I was trying to decide which tea kettle to buy so after seeing this did buy the xox one. I love it - have been using it 2x a day since I bought it. And it looks great too.
OPINION: I own & recommend the SIMPLEX KETTLE, made in the U.K. Quality kettle, hand-made, generous reservoir, loud whistle. Cost: ~300 US dollars. Owned for 20 years. Electric & Gas stove top kettles available. ☕️
Lisa, you are looking fabulous! I love your hair in this video. Very pretty. About the kettle though, I'm wondering is ATK being sponsored by OXO Good Grips? Or is it just that all their stuff really is that good? It's almost not a surprise anymore that the winner is..... OXO Good Grips.
I bought one of the OXO kettles like you said is great. Hate to burst your bubble but it's NOT that great. Mine got knocked onto my ceramic floor and the whistle part broke off. The spout actually bent. This was all from counter height pushed off by my cat. It dents easily too. I kept using it and ended up getting burned when the rivets holding handles gave way. All this in 6 months 🤨😟
Get a plug in electric kettle. Super fast and easy to clean if you need to. If you’re just boiling water in it you hardly ever will. You can easily get a good one for
The Hario isn’t for tea and you probably filled it too far. It’s for pouring hot water very precisely over drip coffee, particularly the Hario V60... which I’m sure you knew, so why on earth test it alongside the others as an all purpose kettle? The standard of these tests is literally all over the place!
Years ago my favorite kettle was one I had that played “Tea or Two” when it reached temperature! I loved that kettle until my son-in-law dropped it on the floor! It still heated water but no longer played!☹️
About 3 weeks TOO late! LOL... I got a Kate Spade model that matched but has two faults: metal handle is HOT (who designed this?) and the handle gets in the way filling. But this was more about color-coordinating in kitchen. Once again OXO has a good product.
Have you ever noticed that the Oxo Good Grips line wins a lot of tests from ATK? Hmmm. Not saying that they aren't good products, but in my opinion, items you can get from restaurant supply companies way outshine them - and aren't all that much more expensive.
Is there a "best kettle" option without a non-stick coating? I've seen lots of reports of leeching smells and taste from the OXO kettle along with flaking non-stick coating. Haven't been able to find what the coating is made of
I just received my OXO 1.7 quart yesterday. The bottom feels like sandpaper. *Is yours like that, too? * I'm trying to figure out if maybe I got a defective one. THANK YOU!!!
I was beginning to think Cook's Illustrated essentially just promotes OXO products regardless of their actual performance. Seeing OXO come up as a winner again in this review I began to wonder... maybe I'm just too cynical? Then I saw this update from them in November 2021: _"After hearing complaints that our winning kettle from OXO splashed boiling water from its spout after each pour, we tested a new copy and confirmed that this was sometimes the case. We agree that this flaw can be at best messy and at worst dangerous, so we are demoting it."_ HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Seriously, do they bother testing products anymore?
You do realize they have also placed some OxO products in the "not recommended" rankings, right? If you really think they're getting paid by Helen of Troy Ltd. to say that their OxO subsidiary is great, you might as well say that Conair Corp. is doing the same thing to get them to say their Cuisinart subsidiary makes the best kitchenwares
I wonder if you guys can make one for the hot water dispenser machines, like the Asian ones that have controlled temperatures. I will be looking for it!
After buying and discarding a number of metal kettles, I went back to a glass whistling kettle. It is light, even filled, it heats quickly, and when it whistles it is loud enough to pull me away from surfing the internet. It does not rust, and it makes plenty of hot water to fill the tea pot. I don't leave water in the kettle between uses, which winds up evaporating and leaving scale inside. I can see when it needs to be cleaned inside. The one drawback is that it will break if hit just the right way or if dropped. But at about $8, replacing it does not bust my budget. I have found what works for me and I ain't going back.
OK, I'm on Amazon as I type this and the OXO Good-Grips Classic teakettle is $57.55 (lowest found). I know Amazon's prices fluctuate but I actually had this on one playlist ONLY for stove-top whistling teakettles and this one NEVER went down. Where do I buy this for $39.95 because for $40 that's fine but for almost $60, no way.
I have the Oxo and I hate it. The pouring action is awful. It splurts boiling water incontrollably when you tilt it to pour, due to the pour design--the hot contents have nowhere to go as the neck narrows over the wide base. I've had it for 3 years or so and am going to look for a replacement.
Well, the dream kettle is more lively and funnier to watch do that loud kettle noise do I would most likely prefer the dream kettle thank you very much, I also found that they were 50% off on amazon :)
Oxo seems to always be the way to go. I have a few oxo things. Got zero complains. Oxo potato peeler! First potato peeler ive ever reached for in over 40 years of cooking. Highly recommend

This doesn't require counter space, which many homes lack here because other products tend to take priority. And in some states, gas is cheaper than electric, so heating up the kettle would cost much less than an electric one. Also, the novelty of it. My grandmother use to have a kettle and make tea for me with it when I was little, so having one brings back fond memories for me. Hope that helps.
In the US most people don’t use kettles often enough, or just don’t know enough, or care enough. That’s why they mentioned the goose neck kettle not being enough for a full tea pot when it was meant for single serve pour over coffee.
Power outages. We get them a lot in Duddieville. I just use it on the camp stove but for everyday I use an electric kettle which holds enough water to fill my big teapot.
Very few Americans have electric kettles. We don’t drink as much tea as Europeans, and what tea we do drink is often iced tea and brewed in large batches. Or we boil a single cup in a microwave - which virtually all homes have - and brew the tea in that. Americans tend to drink coffee instead, mostly brewed in automatic drip coffee makers. Many if not most homes have one.
@@sunspot42 Same in Sweden, almost everyone drinks coffee (second most in the world after Finland, per person) but for some reason everyone has an electric kettle anyway =)
Do you actually prefer stove top kettles or the electric version that heats a bunch faster and doesn't take up space on your stove, just your counter top?
The only reason I even own a stovetop kettle is that in my country we have power blackouts relatively often-ish (like, once every few months), and if I crave some tea, I cat put a gas burner and boil me some tea. Otherwise, always an electric one
I bought this kettle for my parents because I'm always so happy with America's test kitchen's equipment reviews, but this one didn't make us happy. 1) It's too hard to tell what's over full. It's obviously not up to the top of the pot, but my parents often found they had over filled it when they thought it wouldn't be. You don't want water to boil out the spout. 2) the spout pours very messily. It heats up very hot. They have a glass top electric stove and when you pour out the freshly boiled water it vigorously sizzles on contact with the spout and spatters. But even worse, there is some weird dynamic with the shape that when you tip it forward to pour, the sloshing causes a geyser out the tip, which far overshoots your target. Totally unacceptable, I'm afraid. That's straight up dangerous. 3) they swear it takes longer to heat up than their last one. Might be because the last one was flat bottomed which works well for a glass cooktop. This one has concentric circular indentations on the bottom. Probably wouldn't matter for gas burners.
Any stainless steel ones that I have had have rusted in a short time. Look at the reviews for this and others on Amazon. The reviews have pictures and say it rusts as well.
I just received my OXO 1.7 quart yesterday. The bottom feels like sandpaper. *Is yours like that, too? * I'm trying to figure out if maybe I got a defective one. THANK YOU!!!

They should have seen what happens if you boil out the water. The last kittle I had melted after cooking for half an hour. Try explaining that to the landlord when you show what happened to the stove.
This is missing a major aspect- can you pick it up without an oven mitt??!!! I’m currently looking for a new one because of this problem and this review doesn’t even address that.
True, but what about washing it? I currently own the glass one in this line up and I love it because it shows me the build up of my water and how clean my kettle actually is after washing it.
M. Happy I have been happy with the glass “whistling kettle” too. After I discovered corrosion in my old metal kettle, I wanted to be able to see what was going on inside. And it doesn’t splash when it pours (why is that so rare?).

My grandmother use to have a kettle and make tea for me with it when I was little, so having one brings back fond memories for me. Hope that helps.
In the US most people don’t use kettles often enough, or just don’t know enough, or care enough. That’s why they mentioned the goose neck kettle not being enough for a full tea pot when it was meant for single serve pour over coffee.
Power outages. We get them a lot in Duddieville. I just use it on the camp stove but for everyday I use an electric kettle which holds enough water to fill my big teapot.
Very few Americans have electric kettles. We don’t drink as much tea as Europeans, and what tea we do drink is often iced tea and brewed in large batches. Or we boil a single cup in a microwave - which virtually all homes have - and brew the tea in that.
Americans tend to drink coffee instead, mostly brewed in automatic drip coffee makers. Many if not most homes have one.
@@sunspot42 Same in Sweden, almost everyone drinks coffee (second most in the world after Finland, per person) but for some reason everyone has an electric kettle anyway =)
Do you actually prefer stove top kettles or the electric version that heats a bunch faster and doesn't take up space on your stove, just your counter top?
The only reason I even own a stovetop kettle is that in my country we have power blackouts relatively often-ish (like, once every few months), and if I crave some tea, I cat put a gas burner and boil me some tea.
Otherwise, always an electric one
What is the name of the best kettle
Is the oxo safe? i.e. non-toxic?
what's the best stove top gooseneck kettle?
I bought this kettle for my parents because I'm always so happy with America's test kitchen's equipment reviews, but this one didn't make us happy. 1) It's too hard to tell what's over full. It's obviously not up to the top of the pot, but my parents often found they had over filled it when they thought it wouldn't be. You don't want water to boil out the spout. 2) the spout pours very messily. It heats up very hot. They have a glass top electric stove and when you pour out the freshly boiled water it vigorously sizzles on contact with the spout and spatters. But even worse, there is some weird dynamic with the shape that when you tip it forward to pour, the sloshing causes a geyser out the tip, which far overshoots your target. Totally unacceptable, I'm afraid. That's straight up dangerous. 3) they swear it takes longer to heat up than their last one. Might be because the last one was flat bottomed which works well for a glass cooktop. This one has concentric circular indentations on the bottom. Probably wouldn't matter for gas burners.
Any stainless steel ones that I have had have rusted in a short time. Look at the reviews for this and others on Amazon. The reviews have pictures and say it rusts as well.
I just received my OXO 1.7 quart yesterday. The bottom feels like sandpaper. *Is yours like that, too? * I'm trying to figure out if maybe I got a defective one. THANK YOU!!!
Lisaaaa!!!!
why not the glass one?
What if I get the Hario and just don’t over fill?

How do you clean a teapot
a lot of your favorite kitchen products seem to be from OXO.... is there a hidden sponsorship deal i don't know about?
You do realize they have also placed some OxO products in the "not recommended" rankings, right?
If you really think they're getting paid by Helen of Troy Ltd. to say that their OxO subsidiary is great, you might as well say that Conair Corp. is doing the same thing to get them to say their Cuisinart subsidiary makes the best kitchenwares
What about buppalo whistle kettle... any flaw
How about rust at the bottom?
Oxo always puts through into there products.

Hardly anybody uses those in the UK. Everyone has an electric kettle that'll make you a perfect cuppa in a couple of minutes.
the best stove top kettle is dream
*prove me wrong*
Cool
I love OXO products
Why not the all clad one :(
I love my electric kettle. $15, heats up fast, holds enough for me, pours nicely, turns off when at temp.etc. I'll never own a stove top model again.
I use an electric kettle too, the only thing I dislike about it is the cleaning :/ It's more difficult since there are parts that shouldn't get wet.
@@gardengrovespin if I am just boiling water, I don't clean it
@@gardengrovespin citric acid clears it up when the kettle fur appears. 1tbs of citric acid, fill and boil. Let it stand for 30 min, pour it off and refill, boil and discard to wash off the citric acid residue.
@@newdeathscope I'm using it just boil water too, but it still builds up limescale so it has to be cleaned every once in a while.
Bottom line: if it's Oxo Good Grips, it's going to be good. I should know, I buy a sh*t ton of their products, LOL!!

PBS sponsored by Oxo. Isn’t this like the 15th Oxo win?

Also, ATK isn't a PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) program, it's an APT (American Public Television) program distributed by WETA (Greater Washington Educational Telecommunications Association) a PBS & APT member station.
They should have seen what happens if you boil out the water. The last kittle I had melted after cooking for half an hour. Try explaining that to the landlord when you show what happened to the stove.
This is missing a major aspect- can you pick it up without an oven mitt??!!! I’m currently looking for a new one because of this problem and this review doesn’t even address that.
OXO delivering some great products these days.

what was bad about the le creusset?
Your kettle knowledge is un matched ;)
The little blue kettle can easily be filled by the spout. Corporate sponsor at work?
True, but what about washing it? I currently own the glass one in this line up and I love it because it shows me the build up of my water and how clean my kettle actually is after washing it.
M. Happy I have been happy with the glass “whistling kettle” too. After I discovered corrosion in my old metal kettle, I wanted to be able to see what was going on inside. And it doesn’t splash when it pours (why is that so rare?).
Is there anything OXO doesn't do well?

Hopefully soon they review fainting couches and smelling salts. You sound as though you’re coming down with the vapors.
