Review
This electric kettle did not disappoint. It’s small enough to keep on the countertop without taking up too much space and it cranked out boiling water in under 4 minutes (3 minutes 42 seconds to be exact.) To give you a point of reference my stove top began whistling at 7 minutes.
It can’t get easier to use, you fill it and depress the switch on the front. When it’s done, the light shuts off. It holds a max of 1 liter, which is more than enough for a couple cups of tea or steeping coffee with a French press.
Temperature wise this unit actually outperformed a traditional tea kettle although not by much. Hamilton Beach = 201.5F, Traditional Kettle = 200.6F.
The only downside to the unit was the exterior stainless steel gets extremely hot so you’ll want to keep a minimum clearance around it and keep it away from little hands. This wasn’t a bid deal for me, since we have the room for it.
Overall, if you’re looking for a good conventional tea kettle replacement you can’t go wrong with this one, especially at its price point.

Prior to taking to Vegas we began using this at home and we love it! Our family drinks tea every night and I personally like my hot beverages boiling hot. This little machine brews the coffee extra hot! I will admit, I've burned my tongue a couple of times but I wouldn't have it any other way. I like that we can add water, flip a switch and forget about it. It automatically shuts off and keeps water warm until you are ready to serve. We drink large mugs of tea so we can make about 3 servings. But when we need more, we just add more water and it boils it quickly. I like this gadget so much I just purchased another one for my relative! Can't go wrong with this!!
PROS
--Smaller design is perfect for my use. 1 liter (about a quart) maximum gets me a couple large cups of coffee out of my french press, or several smaller cups of herb tea for me and my girls.
--Stays very hot FOREVER! I love that the water heats, then stays steaming hot for hours.
--The top stays open automatically. When I dump the hot water, I can set the hotpot on the counter with the lid open and let it dry naturally.
--There is no heating element inside, unlike with my older hot pot. This means I can make oatmeal, ramen, easy mac, or herb tea right in the pot, without having to transfer to another container. Then I can serve into different dishes or mugs.
-- Easy to clean because there is no heating element in the inside of the pot.
CONS
--The minimum amount is about 20 ounces, which is more than I'd like to do sometimes. I wish I could heat just 8 or 10 ounces, which would be super quick if I just want a cup of hot tea in the middle of the night.
--The difference between the minimum (.6 liters) and the maximum (1 liter) is pretty minor. I find myself filling, then realizing I haven't filled enough, then overfilling and having to throw some out. Silly, but annoying.
Overall, GREAT product for the price!!! I would buy it again, and will probably get one for my college kids so they can make ramen and oatmeal more easily.

Top reviews from other countries
PROS:
-Mostly metal where it matters (there is a plastic rim around the lid though)
-Plastic filter that comes with kettle is REMOVABLE
-Very sturdy - lid opens easily and well, and the base actually feels heavier than our old 1.7L one
-Compact
-Fast boil
-Very good bang for your buck
CONS:
-Since the lid is mostly metal it gets really hot, making refills right after boiling a bit difficult
The power cable is literally one feet long, too short to reach any power socket.
Reviewed in India on March 2, 2021
The power cable is literally one feet long, too short to reach any power socket.
After 400 cycles or 4 boxes of 100 tea bags, my kettle looks and works like new. Here is what I like and dislike:
What I like:
-The base always shuts off upon boiling and has NEVER failed me.
-The base (the pastic part) does not get hot, so the kettle is easy to hold with a hand underneath.
-The metal inside the kettle looks likes new: no stains, no pitting, no corrosion
-Inexpensive
Don't like:
-The lid cannot (reasonnably) be removed to clean the interior. As a result, the opening is too small to fit a hand for cleaning. The kettle remains easy to clean... but not as easy as it should be.
