I love the Hamilton Beach Glass Electric Kettle! After unpacking the kettle I  immediately washed it and started using it,and have not stopped.  I'm a hot tea drinker during the winter months and sometimes coffee. I've been wanting an electric kettle for the longest. I'm so glad I made this purchase. It heats up so quickly and of course,  love the blue light when it's boiling. Also like the auto shut off feature. Very pleased with this product and highly recommend it!
