Hamilton Beach1.7 Liter Temperature Control Electric Kettle, Water Boiler & Heater, Fast Boiling 1500 Watts, BPA Free, Cordless, Auto-Shutoff and Boil-Dry Protection, Stainless Steel (41020R)

This works great! Love the multiple temperature options and the warming feature. This is by far the best addition to my kitchen. Plus it is really beautiful and looks great on the countertop. Definitely recommend it if you are a regular tea drinker or just like having hot water readily available.

This tea kettle is absolutely beautiful and useful. Easy to use, heats in less time than any other I have ever owned, has capability to keep water warm for second cup (or even third cup), ability to select proper temperature based on type of tea being brewed is first rate, takes up minimal space on my counter, entirely metal. In addition, I use it for any other need for hot water such as cooking pasta, boiling eggs, hot water for cleaning appliances (such as cpap lines). Built exceptionally well.

I don't know what I did before I had this! I used it for tea, for hot cocoa for Grandkids , for my morning oatmeal. It looks great on the counter and works wonderfully. Easy to fill even at the fridge door fountain. Easy to clean and nice because you can take it from its base and bring it to the table with you to pour into cups. With my tea kettle on the stove I was always forgetting about iputting down the spout on it so the water would boil out....or it would whistle and I'd not be able to get right to it and it would aggravate me or wake someone up. With this kettle it beeps twice and also if you've set that it should keep the water warm , it does for 1/2 hour.

This was a nice hot pot. It worked for only 2 years. Elements started melting the base after 18 months.

It worked well enough for a bit over 1 year, but then it stopped working.It will light up when I press the buttons for various heat settings, but not heat anything. The only setting that still starts heating is the "boil black" button, but that will start heating for only a few seconds before automatically shutting off while the water is cold. I tried following the troubleshooting steps from Amazon, but the problem continued. I'm thinking it must be a board failure, since only one of the settings works (though only for a moment).I contacted Hamilton Beach customer service, but they said the warranty is only for a year. At that point I had it for 1 year and 5 months, but I hardly used it in the summer and only occasionally in the winter. I probably only got 15-20 uses out of it total (almost never used more than once a week, sometimes went weeks without using). I bought it for around $40 on sale, so I essentially paid $2+ per time to heat up water, which is absolutely ridiculous. Guess I'll have to go back to old fashioned way of heating water.

I have used two other electric kettle that were glass and just boiled, I broke them both!! I said enough, I was looking for steel! I can also take this one when I travel and it won’t break!! Are you kidding at this price don’t pass this up! Settings for the type of tea your brewing, French press setting! I French press and love this. My husband and I will carry it with the steel French press we use if we travel. Perfect for hotel rooms!!! We put it in a backpack with our press coffee and teas! I only drink coffee or tea (iced or hot) I can make any tea or coffee I like with this kettle and anywhere I have water and power! This electric kettle has been a life changer. I use it several times a day and I have had it about 6 months!! It pours great no drips! It has a little screen inside to catch any particles in the water. You can’t really clean it in a traditional way. There is a temperature sensor in the bottom that you need to be careful with if wipeing it out. Your hand don’t really fit in it but again that is NOT the way you clean it. You use cream of tartar to clean it as the directions say. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth. I clean it with cream of tartar when some deposits on the bottom build up some. So easy it is clean and it’s clean as brand new. Only water goes in it and it boils so it don’t get that dirty! The last time I use it at night I shake it a bit when I pour out the last bit of water in the sink and leave the lid open while it’s still hot and it will dry. Again it’s in use all the time around here so it’s always wet inside. When we are making teas and hot chocolate with the kids or visitors you can keep the water warm with the keep warm feature and not have to wait each time for hot water. If you use it and your not going to for a little while always pour all the water out. On cold days it may have hot water in it most of the day. If I make coffee I empty the bottom of the water into the sink because I won’t be using it for a little while. If your making one or two cups of tea only put as much water as you need so it heats faster! The water gauge on the side makes that brainless even at 5 am lol! Also makes instant oatmeal, Mac and cheese and cup noodles. This kettle was life changing for me! It’s so easy to use. It keeps up with my needs, it portable I don’t have to use the stove and it’s not so delicate. I do take care not to get the controls or bottom wet that has to happen or you will mess it up! Follow the directions it has good directions. I have had a lot of good luck with Hamilton Beach products! Does exactly what the higher end brand does for a better price! If something happens to this one as long as they make them I will keep buying them! I love this kettle!! I think it would be amazing in an office, a dorm or any other place you don’t have a stove. If I had this when I worked I would have had one in my office along with a steel French press and variety of teas for sure!! Look no further you have found a true 5 star electric kettle!! I don’t give out 5 stars unless it’s perfect and this Hamilton Beach electric kettle has zero cons for me! Purchase this one!! You won’t be sorry!!
