when I received this and I plug it in the blue was just incredible the light on this was just so beautiful I make a small pot of tea pomegranate and orange infused tea and all I do is boil the water in this and pour it in that little teapot and it boils it in three and a half minutes so it's so quick quicker than the stove  favorite leave it to Hamilton Beach to come up with that is wonderful you can always count on Hamilton Beach to do it again you can trust their products so far everything I received from Hamilton Beach has been wonderful and that is my review on the Hamilton Beach compact glass kettle so go out and buy one you won't be standing at the stove waiting for your water to boil because it will boil a lot faster if you buy this
