Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Surprisingly affordable considering all it has to offer - 1500 watts of power,cordless base that rotates and sleek stainless steel design to name a few.
This Hamilton Beach model is very simple to operate: You flick the tab up on the base of the handle, and the kettle begins heating the water.
Two water level windows are a handy feature making this model convenient both for left handers and for right handers.
It's the second-cheapest pick but performs like a much more expensive kettle, so it earns our value pick.
The stainless steel construction is a nice perk, and durability is reported as very good. For $30 or less, you get an electric kettle that heats up to seven cups of water quickly and then automatically shuts itself off once the water starts to boil.
Thankfully, this kettle comes with all of the standard safety features that ensure that you can operate it worry-free. First, the whole thing shuts off once it’s reached temperature, meaning that it won’t boil over.

They love the idea that the kettle is simple to clean without too much effort. Since they don’t have a dishwasher, the kettle is convenient for washing by hand.
The auto shutoff function on this kettle will keep it from dry boiling, so you don’t have to worry about that. It also features a stay-cool handle and a drip-free spout, which makes pouring very easy.

What reviewers didn't like

The lid doesn't always close tightly or feel very durable. A little noisy when heating up.
This kettle lacks the bells and whistles of our other picks—it doesn’t have preset temperature controls, or a keep-warm setting
There's no alert to let you know it's done, though.
Lid may come off relatively easy under pressure. On rare occasions, the bottom of the kettle may start to melt from overheating. In rare cases, the spout may leak water when pouring

Water level meter behind the handle. Opening the lid causes water to splash. Hot water can leak through the seams. Very noisy.
