Hamilton Beach 1.7 Liter Temperature Control Electric...

Most Helpful Review

"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!!"
