Title: The clever handle gets in the way
Review: Oxo used to be synonymous with good design -- but this tea kettle should have been left on the drawing board. In theory, the clever handle (lift the kettle, and the lid automatically opens) is a good idea, but if you're used to a standard kettle where the handles swings out of the way, this one might seem too awkward. The handle gets in the way of both filling and washing up. Other than that annoyance, the kettle does have one good thing going for it: the wide base is excellent for gas stoves; flames don't reach the sides. Some steam escapes the lid if it's not fitted precisely, but the whistle is sharp. And, it looks nice, so...that's good.
