I like everything about this tea kettle from being easy to use and providing perfectly hot water. The front of this pitcher contains a listing of how much water will be in the kettle, and it makes sense in that extra water and the time it takes to heat, are eliminated. I have had a few different kettles over the years, but not has worked so easily and heats the water so quickly.

Got this because it’s the Wirecutter bargain pick. It’s…. fine. It boils water. It’s not as nice as the old Black and Decker that we had, but it works. The handle is wildly uncomfortable to hold especially when it’s full. The lid opening is tiny so cleaning it will be a chore. But it’s, well, fine.

This pot works beautifully! It heats fast. We bought it to replace a smaller one, and I wish I had paid attention to the size. If you have a big family this may be the size for you. For us, it is oversized. It looks great, works great. Just pay attention to the size when you order.

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.

All stainless steel and I like the fact that you only have to have a half a liter, one bottled water, for to heat up. It’s just me so I didn’t want a giant one. Heats the water up fast and automatically shuts off when it boils. You can hit the switch and it’ll bring it back to a boil if you need to (per Douglas Adams, the water should be boiling when it hits the tea leaves!).

This tea pot is perfect and has exceeded my expectations. I purchased it after using a similar appliance at a rental vacation home. This one heats water faster and I love the auto shut off. Well worth the purchase.

I love this, boils water fast. I’ve had it a couple of months so far works perfect and I use it several times a day. I’m going to buy another one for my guest room.

So I bought this for my boss. Once he stopped using it, I took it and love it! It quickly boils my water and works great! Absolutely worth every penny

My old electric pot died after 14 years. I chose this this one because it had all the same features of my old one and more.
