OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Pour-Over Kettle 8717100: problems, parts and running costs
Checked: 2026-10-20
Summary
Almost nothing about this exact model could be verified: OXO’s site was unreachable, Consumer Reports tested a different OXO kettle, and no owner discussions were accessible, so what usually goes wrong is simply undocumented. What is confirmed is the feature list from the Wayfair listing: 1-degree temperature steps, a 30-minute hold and a built-in count-up timer. No pricing data exists in any source, so no buy price can be stated.
Common problems and fixes
- The boil-time claim has no identifiable source — the 2.9-minute boil comes from the listing’s product data with unknown water volume and starting temperature; Consumer Reports’ kettle testing (of different models) found its tested electric kettles boil about a liter in roughly 4 to 5½ minutes, a gas stovetop a little over 4½ minutes, and a 1,200-watt microwave 6 minutes 45 seconds. Treat 2.9 minutes as unverified. [1][3]
- No exact-model verification — OXO’s website returned HTTP 403 on every attempted fetch, so no manufacturer page, manual or spec sheet could be checked; capacity, heating power, temperature range and warranty terms remain marketed claims. Confirm against OXO’s own documentation when you can reach it before relying on the numbers. [4][5]
- Owner experience is undocumented — no owner discussions, complaint patterns or reliability data were reachable, so common failures, durability and real-world performance are unknown. [6][7]
Parts and consumables
No replaceable parts or consumables reported.
Yearly running cost
Not enough data. There are no consumables, pods or subscriptions tied to this kettle, and no energy-cost or pricing data exists in the reachable sources, so a yearly figure cannot be computed. Electricity for boiling is not measured anywhere in the sources.
When it is a good buy
No retailer pricing was reachable during research, so no price thresholds can be stated. Buy on the strength of the feature list — 1-degree steps, a 30-minute hold, a count-up timer to 10 minutes — not on proven performance, since nothing about this exact model has been independently measured.
- OXO Cordless Glass Electric Kettle (m398978) — the better choice when independently tested performance matters: this is the OXO kettle Consumer Reports actually tested, while the 8717100 has no test coverage. [2][3]
