OXO Good Grips Uplift Tea Kettle, Grass Greensuperusa

I spent three months researching tea kettles. My "must have" list was detailed: must be 2 quarts; must have a quiet whistle; must not dribble; must not be expensive but must not be cheaply made; must be colorful, preferably purple. Day after day I read review after review and I kept returning to the Oxo Good Grips Uplift Tea Kettle (in Eggplant, obviously). I decided to take the leap and made the purchase. I cannot have been more thrilled!

The kettle's enamel is beautiful and the whole thing is quite solid. The handle is heat resistant, thick, and sturdy. You simply tilt the kettle to pour and the spout opens automatically, no dribbling. The whistle starts out nice and quiet which is perfect for what I wanted, but it does become loud if you leave it to get to a high boil.

I've had the kettle for about a month now and love it to pieces, it's just perfect. And purple!

The color of this tea kettle is very fun and bright. It is a true BRIGHT grass green, not avocado. The handle can get quite hot if you ignore the whistle and let it sit there a while boiling away. We are very happy with the kettle.

Many tea pots I have owned have all had one problem, the handle gets too darn hot to use. Not the OXO Tea Kettle. Beautiful and functional.
