This Hamilton Beach electric kettle is great quality. The design is sleek and modern. I have used this several times for tea, hot cocoa, instant soups and such and it performs perfectly every time. It will boil your water within minutes and the water will stay hot for some time after! It is easy to clean upon first use, you just have to boil the water a few times and dump and it’s clean and ready to use. It is very convenient and a great product if you don’t have the time to wait for a stovetop kettle to boil!
