Angie's honest notes

We have had this kettle for two years, and the quality is very good. It replaced our old kettle, which lasted me more than four years.

It boils fast. I put in one liter of water, and in about 4 minutes it is boiling.

The lights tell you where it is. It changes color as the water heats up, and when it turns red, it is at a full boil.

It turns itself off. The best part: if I walk away and don't make it back in time, it shuts off on its own.

Light, and the jug doesn't burn you. It is very light to pick up, and I can touch the jug without burning myself.

My shortcut for pasta. Want to cook spaghetti fast? Put this to work. I pour the boiling water into the pot and add the spaghetti right away, with no waiting for the pot to boil. And once I pour the hot water, my tea is ready in less than 40 seconds.

Good to know. Hamilton Beach lists 1.7 liters, 1500 watts and a double-wall glass body, with LED lights in five colors that change with the water temperature. It shuts off automatically when the water boils and has boil-dry protection. The inside is BPA-free glass with a stainless steel heating plate, and it lifts off its base cordless.
