Customer reviews
Exactly what I was looking for!
I have a friend who doesn't have a coffee pot. I can't imagine that, myself. However, she has an electric kettle and keeps an assortment of teas, hot chocolate mixes, and instant coffee available for her guests. There are many times that I want tea or coffee and don't have the need to make a full pot, so a kettle is a nice way to allow me to do that. Sure, I can heat water in the microwave, but that can be tedious, especially if you are making more than one cup. Yes, I'll admit it. I had kettle envy. So, I decided to start looking for a kettle of my own. I had a couple of requirements: I did not want a plastic kettle, it needed to have automatic shutoff, and it needed to heat water quickly. I came across this little guy and it fit the bill perfectly. All of my appliances are stainless or black, so this kettle looks nice on my counter, and is available to heat up water at any time. I have teenagers, so they are always using boiling water for soups and noodles and whatever else, and this works very well for that. I use it for tea, instant coffee, and to make coffee in my french press. It is so convenient! The water heats up so quickly, even faster than I expected. It doesn't make noise when the water is ready, but you can hear the water boiling, and you can hear the kettle making a click sound when the water is heated. I have owned several products from Hamilton Beach, and have always been pleased with them. I associate Hamilton Beach with quality, and this kettle does not disappoint. It feels very sturdy. Filled with water, it can have some weight to it, but it isn't too bad. It is about the same weight as a full pot of coffee. The outside of the kettle can get very hot, but the handle stays cool, which I like. I was pleasantly surprised at how long the water stayed warm afterward. My friend saw this on my counter and could not believe that I paid about the same amount for my kettle as she did for her plastic one. I guess now she has kettle envy! I imagine she will be purchasing this model very soon.

Amazing electric kettle at a very reasonable price.
I have been using this electric kettle for about a week now and I am quite amazed. There is a booklet that comes with the kettle and you can register it online. I highly recommend reading the pamphlet before use. The form factor of this kettle is actually quite sleek. It has an automatic shut off when the kettle gets to boiling. This kettle holds up to 1.7 l which is quite a bit. But the kettle is 1500 watts so the electric kettle heats up quite fast to a boiling and then shuts off by itself. This is a really nice feature to have. Since this electric kettle holds more water than I need for my tea. To reduce the risk of burning myself I recommend only filling the kettle up halfway. And leaving the lid open. I make sure to turn the kettle away from me just in case. I highly recommend this electric kettle.

Quality product at good price
I should have bought one of these years ago. They are easier, faster, and safer than a stovetop kettle and this Hamilton Beach is well priced and good quality. My only complaint really isn't the fault of the manufacturer but it's an annoyance none the less. I prefer to use filtered water from my refrigerator and it's a difficult fit to get the kettle underneath the spigot in the front of the fridge. I spilled a lot of water before figuring out the proper positioning of the kettle. That issue aside, I highly recommend.
