Hamilton Beach 40998 1 L Stainless Steel Electric

no smell at all, the rest is all stainless steel & the water is boiled quickly.

The stainless steel is less than stainless, and after four months of use the rim has begun to rust severely.

Many reviews suggest heating only water in it, but with the flat stainless steel surface and no heating elements exposed inside, I don't know why you couldn't heat other things, too

It seems that Hamilton Beach is using cheap stainless steel

However, be careful when using, the stainless steel can be extremely hot to the point that it actually makes the handle hot as well

They claim it's Stainless steel but after only 3 months of daily use it's rusting and

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.

Heats very quickly, light and the stainless steel looks nice on the counter.
