  • Exactly what I was looking for!
Color: Stainless Steel Style: Kettle
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. ... show more

Color: Stainless Steel Style: Kettle
Shortly after first using kettle I noticed water on the base (heating element) and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. It got progressively worse and then I realized water was leaking out of the plastic water level indicator window on one side of the kettle. It stopped leaking after the water was heated (thank God or it could have been dangerous) but I have requested a replacement unit. Will revise review after receiving the replacement kettle. ... show more

Color: Stainless Steel Style: Kettle
I bought it in June last year, and it broke down today. It worked well only for 9 months. It seems that the temperature sensor isn't working. It can't heat up the water - it switches to off mode a few seconds I pressed it "on". My husband asked me to get another electric kettle quickly. I dared not to buy this one again - I have to look for something else. ... show more

Color: Stainless Steel Style: Kettle
Writing this review after having it for a year. It still works as well a year later as on day 1. Make sure to read the instructions since there is a minimal-fill level to reach so you don't fry the machine. Never have had weird-tasting tea or water, just really quick results! Would buy it again, but it seems so well build I might not need to! ... show more

  • Love the way it works: will it last?????
Color: Stainless Steel Style: Kettle
Even though I've only used this 6 times (heating water only!) since I received it less than a month ago, it has corrosion spots on the inside base. I love the way it works, but I'm afraid it won't last very long without rust and even more corrosion. Hopefully I'm wrong: we'll see.

  • A great electric tea kettle but dangerous
Color: Stainless Steel Style: Kettle
I purchased this tea kettle in hopes that it would be everything that I needed, and mostly it was. EXCEPT... the one day after the pot had heated the water, I accidentally brushed the side of it for a total of about 2-3 seconds. In that short time, I received a painful red mark on my finger because the stainless steel was so hot. Thankfully I didn't get a burn, but it was painful none the less. As I got thinking, I realized how dangerous this could be for future use. You can easily get a severe burn if you accidentally touched the outside of the tea kettle. Why wouldn't the manufacturer take a precaution on this so that it would not be a hazard to the user??!! Not to mention the fact that it could also easily melt items that touch the side, i.e. a plastic container or bag, etc. So, not only do you have to be careful to not touch the outside, but you also have to make sure there are no items nearby that could melt on contact. I am returning this item just for that reason -- it is dangerous and not safe to have on your counter due to risk of getting burned. ... show more

Color: Stainless Steel Style: Kettle
I received my kettle today. Tested for boiling water. It works fine.I like the light indicator, the top button for opening the kettle to fill water and the fact that it turns itself off when the water has boiled.I only wish it could keep the water warm for a longer period. And I thought it took long to boil.It takes about 5 minutes to bring to a rolling boil. I will be updating after using it for some time ... show more
