The Hamilton Beach 1.7L tea kettle is a must for your tea. It holds an ample amount of water. The kettle is well made and has nice weight. The kettle sits comfortably on the hot plate and it boils water quickly and has an automatic shutoff. The steeper is also large and holds a nice amount of tea. I love the blue light which gives it a cool effect. I love making tea in this kettle. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
