Since the COVID pandemic I’ve been drinking more tea and wanted to find a faster alternative to the traditional stove top tea kettle. I heard good things about electric kettles and settled on giving the Hamilton Beach model a try mainly due to price point. They can range from $25 to $120 depending on brand and place you buy it from.
Pros
- Compact
- Quick
- Efficient
- Easy to operate
Cons
- Exterior can get hot after boiling
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.

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.

This stainless one seemed like a good fit
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2017
This is a fabulous product! I gave my older hot pot to my boys when they left for college, because I was excited to try something nicer/newer. This stainless one seemed like a good fit, because of its size and a few other features. So far, I love how fast it heats and how long it stays hot, but I wish it had more options as far as the amount of water I can heat.Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2017
