OXO brew cordless glass electric kettle customer review

A great quality, sleek-looking kettle

I am a big fan of OXO’s products, so was not surprised to be very pleased with this kettle. It holds a good quantity of water, enough to make tea/coffee for any reasonable number of people with a single boil. It seems sturdy, and well made. The soft-close lid is a nice touch, and the soft light illuminating the on/off switch is attractive.

I have used this kettle multiple times a day for two weeks. There are some minor issues, which do not bother me, but may annoy others. It boils for at least 5-10 seconds before shutting off automatically, which seems a little wasteful – if I’m standing beside it, I’ll usually click it off early. Also, it is not clear from the picture that there are some plastic components (BPA free, I believe) that will come into contact with the boiled water (I know this is a concern for some people). Also, it appears that some water condenses in the tip of the spout while the kettle is boiling – this tips out when you go to pour, then there is a delay while the main body of water catches up.
