This kettle heated water briskly, but mine didn't last long. The pot doesn't lift off the base. Since the cord is very short, this is a serious safety hazard if you absent-mindedly pick up the kettle without unplugging it--you reach the end of the cord and the kettle jerks and slops out boiling water. So I plugged and unplugged every time I used it. Turned out that the cord was so cheaply made that it frayed where it connects to the kettle. The day I saw a spark there I threw the kettle away. I won't buy another. |

Hot cocoa, tea, and soup warm you up in the winter, but boiling water to prepare them can be a hassle. Instead, recruit this Electric Kettle for the job. It's faster than a microwave and safer than a stovetop kettle.Best kettle in the price range This is probably the best electric kettle in this price range. It's simple, fast, and well-built. It boils 1L of water in just a few minutes. It's got a very simple, no-nonsense design. No removable heating plate, no dials or settings or timers, just a simple on/off button. There's no removable parts to break or get lost, so I can see this device lasting for quite a while. The transparent sides are a really nice feature, too. It's simplicity is probably not for everyone, though. The lack of removable parts means that you can't put anything in the dishwasher. Also, it doesn't have any timer, alarm, or auto-shutoff for when it boils. And there's no "keep warm" feature either (although when it boils in about 8 minutes, it's not like you need one). The only thing that really bugs me about this thing is that the cord is really short, a little under 2 feet. Perfect length for sitting on a kitchen counter, but it wouldn't reach up to the desk in my dorm so it... |
| Know its features/deficiencies before buying My wife chose to buy the Hamilton Beach 40875Z (from three electric kettles I had prescreened) to replace a decades old failing Mr. Coffee electric kettle. We only used the kettle for a week before happily replacing it with a Proctor Silex K2070. We, too, found the short fixed cord to be a great inconvenience and a possible risk for a harmful spill. Given that our electrical outlet is to the left of the counter, the lighted on/off switch was inconveniently positioned behind the unit as we used it. We were crestfallen to learn that the unit does not shut off once the water has reached a boil. It may have an auto-off feature to prevent melt-down, but none for the convenience of the consumer. The kettle's strength is in its rigorous boiling of water. Unfortunately, this increases the danger of scalding oneself when opening the lid. Contrary to the manual enclosed, the lid of our unit did not release from the upper handle (where a blank piece of plastic had been fitted) but from... |
