Previous Reviews Got It Right! Previous reviewers got it right thank you!SummaryPros Nice looking very ergonomic and well balanced in the hand heats very quickly no dripping.Cons The utside gets hot and the lid area is subject to steam if you try to remove the lid while the pot is hot be careful! the on/off switch looks fragile. Note that the outside getting hot is NOT an issue when you go to pour the waterthe handle is very comfortable and it is very easy to handle with one hand even for this G'ma with her arthritis.Noise Personally I find the noise is not too much although it IS noticeable.The quantity of water held is 1.7 litres not the 2.5 quarts I expected 10 cups. Apparently 10 cups are COFFEE cups or about 6 oz. each. You may want to compare this to other 1.7 litre electric kettlesI did not do so since I thought it was larger than 1.7 litres.Overall I am very very pleased. I purchased this for use when we have a lot of people over as an additional source of quick convenient hot water for drinks.
Quality & Value Heats up very quickly. Has a switch that turns it off automatically once it gets to the right temperature. Better than a stovetop kettle. Looks great. Quality item.
Awesome for tea and instant oatmeal I am very happy I bought this kettle. It totally does what I need it toheats water for me to use for my tea and instant oatmeal. I looks nice on the counter and if you take care of it like the directions say I am sure it will alst a long time.I say if you are comtemplating getting it you should just buy it. It does its job heats water up quickly.
Great Kettle Being from England a kettle as they are called there is an absolute necessity. I had my last one for about 10 years and it is no longer made so I bought the Hamilton Beach and have no complaints at all. Well maybe a little one. I find the little latch you push down to start the process of boiling water very flimsy and am nervous it will eventually fall off. Otherwise it is a great buy and looks good too.
Perfect little BIG kettle We are big hot tea fans at my house! We go through electric kettles like they're going out of style. I really do not have a single significant complaint about this gem. It boils a LOT of water twice as much as many at a time and heats water very quickly. The design style doesn't seem to consume any more space than kettles that heat much less water.The design is nice.
We use it everyday If you drink a lot of tea hot chocolate or top ramen soup then this is a must have! Tea tastes so much better then if the water is heated in the microwave and it is so much faster then heating the water on the stove. We use ours every day some days multiple times and I have no complaints. The brushed stainless looks nice on the counter and stays much cleaner then my brushed stainless fridge and stove! This is our second electric kettle. The first lasted 4+ years with everyday use.
MUCH better than a traditional kettle but looks just as stylish I bought a traditional tea kettle on Amazon a few months ago. It was decent but it took a long time to heat up water and sometimes I am in middle of something when it goes off. I stupidly heated up an empty kettle and almost burnt the house down. So I threw that away and bought this electric kettle instead. This looks similar and BETTER than the traditional one and it functions 100000% times better.
Caustic plastic odor I purchased this stainless steel kettle and upon using it noticed a strong caustic smell of burning plastic. I thought this smell would go away after several uses but it did not. I also noticed a plastic taste in the boiled water ruining a good cup of tea. I'm hoping they refund my purchase.
My second Hamilton Beach even better than the previous model This one is an improvement over the my old
Something Was Definitely Wrong We really liked the kettle's design and it worked well. However water boiled in the kettle had a strange bitter metallic taste. We were not sure what caused the taste and it left us uneasy wondering whether we should be using it. The odor matched the taste and we could always smell it inside the pot. It goes without saying that tea made with water from the kettle tasted awful. We finally gave it up as a lost cause and sent the kettle back. I hope this was just a fluke and the other kettles of this type are fine.
