Why is it a good deal? 💰
Upon consulting our price trackers, we saw that this kettle is on sale for its lowest price in months (it's only dipped a dollar lower all year). Plus, just think of how much you'll save by making tea at home now that this gadget will get the job done lickety-split.
Why do I need this? 🤔
With a maximum capacity of 1.7 liters (or about 7 cups), the Hamilton Beach Electric Kettle boils enough water to make a family-sized pot all at once. Not only that, but it's also fast — reviewers claim the boiling process takes mere minutes from start to finish.
The auto-shutoff function is arguably its star feature, however. Unlike stovetop kettles, this one knows to power down when the water level is below a certain point, so you won't have to worry about an accident should you forget you have it on. Plus, you'll have a clear view of how much water is inside via the side window. Oh, and fear not, tech-phobes: All you have to do is plug it in and switch it on to operate.
What reviewers say 💬
More than 15,000 Amazon customers have piped up about their love of this kettle.
Pros 👍
"We've held out on switching to an electric kettle, but then got an induction stove, which means our regular kettle was no longer compatible," wrote one convert. "We love it. Even when filled to the max line, it heats up in under five minutes. Note that there is no beep or indication when it is done, but you do hear it click off."
"Looks great on my counter," raved another shopper. "This kettle was a real upgrade. It's well made ... Also, the stainless steel exterior is easy to keep clean."
"No more burned teapots left on the stovetop!" said a third. "Easy and practical to use, holds a generous amount of water and works consistently well over time. I can leave the room and not worry about it. And it's easy to see how much water is left in the pot without taking the lid off."
Cons 👎
"We bought this to replace our older model Hamilton Beach kettle, which had served us well for many years and would have served us for many more had I not accidentally set the kettle on a still-hot burner on the stove!" explained a repeat buyer. "This one makes it easier to view the water level; I only wish it measured the level in American measurements as well as metric, but this is a minor issue."
"Recently switched from coffee to tea and wanted to decrease microwave use and control the temperature of the water for black tea," shared a final fan. "Works perfectly." That said, they added that it's "a little heavy for arthritic hands."
Now, that is one classy-looking pot.
And to keep your beverage of choice hotter, longer...
This warms up beverages in just two minutes or less and keeps them warm for hours, saving you trips to the microwave.
"I'm one of those people who never drinks all of their coffee or tea right away," shared a shopper. "My tea and coffee can sit for hours before it's all gone. So I brought this warmer, and I'm so happy to have hot coffee or tea all day long."
