Works great for fast boiling of water each morning, great price, good unit.
Boils fast and looks pretty good on the counter all at a great price.
I first used one of these in London and although its not the same brand, I wanted something that could heat up my water fast and at a good price
In my book that's a good product and at an extremely reasonable price.
I LOVE this tea kettle, boils so fast and is such a great price!

The brushed stainless steel looks great and works just as a kettle should
Previously I had a T-FAL kettle but wanted to go with stainless steel
People buy a stainless steel kettle because they do not want hot water touching plastic
The stainless steel does not give a metallic taste to the water.
The bottom is beginning to rust and it is a stainless steel kettle

While not cheap, I felt it was a good value for the price and competitively priced with other products in its class
Good value and does everything it needs to do - boil water, switch off etc
Overall though, for the price it's good value and many future cuppas will be made with it.
My glass-top stove is sooooooo slow--it's a breeze to heat water now (not quite as fast as in England, but there's only half the voltage in the US).

Good looking, heats up very fast, easy to read measurements on the outside.
For the price, it performs, is well built and good looking.
It IS a solid, good looking pot, and heats up fairly quick.
If you're looking for a nice kettle for your kitchen, don't be afraid to take this one
Also like the design of it - expensive looking!

The pot started leaking at one of the side plastic windows but everything else worked super.
EXCELLENT little pot, in 2 minutes you have water for your beverage.
This is an inexpensive, utilitarian pot to boil water in
This has been a great water pot for a variety of cooking needs
so we've reboiled the same pot of water multiple times when working on other things.

There is a wedge all around inside which traps tea leaves and there is no way to clean it out
It is a horrible design and I will probably have to throw it out soon, as the trapped tea leave cannot be taken out
I'm not worried and I haven't noticed anything tasting off or weird as a
We're replacing our old stove-top tea kettle with this.
Fast & easy to manage, it makes for a very stress-free tea-time!

I hoped Hamilton Beach didn’t monkey with success the way the George Foreman grill guys did, and ruined it, and

Great way to quickly get hot water in mornings for coffee, tea, etc.
This is the perfect way to quickly heat water for tea or French press coffee.
Greatest way to boil water for my tea 3 or 4 times a day.

well built, heats quickly, a little noisy but no more than others I've had in the past
Not quite as fast as heating water in a microwave, but close, and the water is always the right temperature for brewing tea without over boiling.2
Meh, it works but just as slow as heating up the water on the stove
Works very well -- heats up water quickly and the automatic shut off performs as expected after liquid comes to a boil.

It's definitely not fancy quality though, most of the parts are plastic
love quality, boiling water in no time, easy to use, trust me, money well spend :)
Very poor quality
Looks cheap, low quality

With that experience, I wanted to find something that could mitigate a fire hazard due to user error
I've learned to unplug after each use to take some reviewer's experience as a caution to avoid fire hazard

This is much faster than using a tea kettle on the stove, or using a microwave oven to boil water.
This is a relatively cheap electric kettle, that boils water relatively quickly
, I can turn the kettle off before the water gets too hot.
so we would not need to boil water on the stove top in a traditional kettle
I would like it better if the hot water wasn't in contact with the plastic.

**it will not shut off when the water boils.***This is a potential safety issue, as you could return to your kitchen to find an empty super-heated kettle, melting its base and burning a hole into your counter
This model seems to have a huge safety issue, and therefore, I absolutely do not recommend it
would be have a little longer electrical cord, but I understand the safety issues with doing that.
The kettle portion has definitely failed (but the base is fine).A core safety issue I'm seeing with it now, other than having caused multiple GFCI failures, is that it does not shut off anymore after the water boils
It still works as well a year later as on day 1

It is a bit larger than I thought, but it boils very quickly
The water where I live is a bit hard, and even though I filter my water, it will still leave calcium deposits on the bottom
Takes a bit longer to boil than our last product, and more noisy.
No complaints and per the reviews the little bit of extra money seems to be worth buying this model compared to some others.

It took about 9 minutes to boil a full pot of "cold" water (ie: straight from the tap, no waste to let it get
I had a ten year old T-fal electric kettle that died.
Only two concerns: not as fast as I expected, takes a full three minutes or more to boil; and it is a bit heavy to hold one handed when full
It takes about four minutes for the pot to boil
a full kettle would take around 7-8 minutes to boil
