The Hamilton Beach Tea Kettle is one of those appliances that once you use it, you wonder how you ever lived without it. This kettle is so simple to use; I purposely didn't read the directions before I used it to see how user friendly it is and everything is self-explanatory. Once it's full of water, you hit the power button and it heats water to boiling in about 3 minutes. It also has a sizeable tea basket that you can put loose leaf or bagged tea in to steep. This is easy enough for older kids to use as well, my kids love to use this kettle to heat water for their hot chocolate and chai lattes. Aesthetically, it has a sleek glass and brushed nickle design with a beautiful electric blue light that stays on during heating.
If you've been thinking about getting an electric kettle, the Hamilton Beach 1.7L Electric Kettle is the one you want. It's easy to use, has great features, and looks sharp in your kitchen!
