Hamilton Beach Electric Tea Kettle, Water Boiler & Heater, 1.7 Liter, Cordless Serving, 1500 Watts for Fast Boiling, Auto-Shutoff and Boil-Dry Protection, Stainless Steel (40880)

This tea kettle works very well for me. It heats quickly and keeps the water hot for awhile. Also, I especially appreciate the automatic shut off and the exterior window to see from the outside how much water is in the kettle. The lid functions well. I think this kettle is safer than using one on top of the stove and it frees up the stove.

I liked it so much that I bought one for my mother-in-law. It's fast, reliable, easy to fill and to pour, and doesn't take up too much counter space. We use ours daily. The auto shut off was a key feature for my mother-in-law, and we both like that it's so much faster than a stove top kettle.

I have ordered the Hamilton Beach Electric Kettle twice before. The previous kettle lasted over three years--great for the amount of use it got. When it died I clicked re-order. What came is not the same product. It is similar, but does not feel as substantial, and will leak around the top if I don't pour slowly. It should have been presented as a different model. It does, however, heat water to a boil rapidly and it shuts off automatically.

Lasted 9+ years; the lid latching mechanism eventually failed and could not be opened. Used multiple times per week to heat water for cooking rice, pasta, soups, and making tea. Fast to boil, and usable capacity is as advertised!

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.

We use this a lot everyday. Coffee and tea. Instant ramen. Easy to read water level. Auto shut off. Basic, efficient design.

I’ve been using my Hamilton Beach Electric Tea Kettle every single day, and I honestly don’t know how I managed without it. It heats water incredibly fast, usually in just a couple of minutes, so I can make tea, coffee, or even rice without waiting around. The stainless-steel design looks sleek and it feels sturdy and well-made. One of the great features is the automatic shutoff. I never have to worry about forgetting on. The water level window is also super convenient, and the pour spout is designed so well that I never get spills or drips. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, and the base swivels, making it really simple to grab and go. For the price, the quality is amazing. Highly recommend!

So nice. Works great. No more microwave water.

一回で1.7リットルが沸く これ以上に求める条件はありません。 使い勝手や耐久性はその次 半年使っていますが非常に優秀です。

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.

Es muy buena, esa marca dura mucho tiempo, casi no tarda en calentar el agua, lo único que no me gusta es que a la hora de abrir la tapa te salpica agua, hazlo con cuidado solamente, de allí todo me encanta

Es indispensable en la cocina,la uso DIARIO
