Oxo Reviews

This citrus knife is very easy to use. The blade is longer than most making it easy to segment the largest grapefruit with ease and the 'Good Grips' handle is, like all the company's products, very comfortable in the hand.

I was amazed at how easy it was to clean glasses with this dish wand! But it wasn't too long before I broke the 1st glass. The plastic on the wand is hard, and if it taps against the glass just right while you're cleaning it, the glass breaks (and I mean just barely taps). I've gone through about 4 glasses. So you have to be careful. But it is definitely an imrovement over shoving my hand into the glass with a sponge to clean the bottom. It would be a much better product if they softened the plastic on the wand. Also, after a few months, the scrubber part came unglued from the rest of the sponge. But I guess that's what the replacements are for....

Dishes used to pile up in the sink because we have no dishwasher, and with only 2 of us, we didn't want to have to drag out the dish tub and drying rack just to wash a few small dishes. I picked up this scrub wand mainly to get my coffee mug washed out quickly in the mornings, but I found myself using it for so much more. The dishes don't pile up anymore because this wand makes it so easy to quickly "squish" out the dishes to wash them. Great for washing glasses, plates, bowls - and if you have the non-scrub wand head, it's perfect for pots and pans too (we have a collection of non-stick and don't want to scratch them with the scrub head). Just run the hot water, squish the wand tip on the bottom of a glass with a little bit of water in it to start the foaming soap, and wash away all the grime of cooking quickly! Perfect for washing small loads of dishes and for people with limited time for doing dishes!

We bought these measuring cups to match our stainless steel and black kitchen in addition to our liking of OXO products. We haven't had a chance to use them enough to test the strength of the handles, but after 1 washing the metal cup rusted. I am not interested in cooking with rusty products. These are going back to Bed, Bath, and Beyond for store credit!

I have other Oxo items that I like very much, but these Stainless Steel Measuring Cups are a big disappointment. I also experienced the handle bending easily when packing in brown sugar. They will be in my next yard sale.

I bought these stainless steel measuring cups to replace a truly awful set of plastic cups which I forcibly sent to early retirement by 'accidently' putting a bit too much pressure on the handle and breaking it.

Between the stainless steel material and the OXO brand, I was convinced this set would cure all my problems. They are good, but for the simple function they perform, they have a serious weakness in that the handle is not strong enough for the pressure applied to it while scooping out flour or sugar, especially with the one cup size. Another small caveat is that the joint connecting the handle to the cup leaves just a few too many spots for flour to gather and stick.

Look for a similar design with stronger handles.

I really like these measuring spoons. The ergonomic grips are really nice and I appreciate them much more than I thought I would, especially when pouring into the spoon from a large jug, etc.

They are OXO quality, so you can beat them up pretty hard and they'll stand up to the torture from scouring to the dishwasher. I actually found the keyring to be perfect, it keeps them together without making it really hard to detach if you need to. I suppose a caribiner-style clip would make it better, but I had no issues. They are well balanced and I think the only drawback is that the metal is a bit thin, so they can bend. If it were maybe half-again as thick or of a harder steel, it probably wouldn't be an issue. They could also just forge them with a spine to make bending much more difficult.

I really like them and they are way beyond those cheap plastic ones that cost a buck at the mega-marts. 4 Stars because I don't think they should bend at all at this price.

I'd give these little things an extra star if they were a bit thicker and more sturdy. As it is, they've survived through sink disposal trips, dishwashers, being dropped, bent, and otherwise abused. But the thing is, I don't think they SHOULD bend. I found a really nice, heavy set of metal measuring spoons at Sur La Table that I like a little bit better. Though those don't have the nice grips that these ones do. Just don't put too much pressure on them or drop them in the sink and turn the disposal on like I did, or you'll end up with the grips all slashed up. However, the nicks in the metal can be cleaned up pretty easily with a scouring pad!

they are just measuring spoons, nothing else, but they look great in a modern stainless steel kitchen

Great teakettle. Sadly, I highly recommend that you NOT inadvertently leave it on a stove burner turned on high while it's empty. Instead of the burner with the pot of water that you actually wanted to boil :\

After only a few months of use, however, this is definitely the best teakettle I'd ever used. Very nifty feature where the spout opens if you tip it down (pouring) and closes when you tip it back up (done pouring). Nice red color, good paint job, nice grippy handle (thanks OXO) and no complaints so far, other than the fact that I stupidly burned it up on the stove while groggily trying to boil some eggs.
