Others say...
"Leaking problem" I didn't read all the reviews on Amazon before getting it from Target. As other reviewers said, it's great to have a kettle that's kid-friendly (not hot to touch). But after using it for less than 48 hours, I noticed water dripping from the bottom of the kettle. It went back to Target the very next day. Too bad I can't try a second one as it ran out in all the Target stores in my area! "Why design with plastic???" First, let me say I love this kettle. The solid, stainless steel pot that won't leak (because it's solid), double-walled so it's cool to the touch on the outside, and even though the base is made of cheap plastic (mine came with a small crack in it that didn't affect functionality), it heats the water super-quickly and for the price is fine with me. I've had it for about 2 months now, still works great. But why do they make these kettles with tops that are half-plastic? I have yet to find a kettle that has NO plastic on any of the parts that touch the water. C'mon guys, boiling water touching plastic means eventually it will melt/break down. "Excellent kettle." Wonderful item. Boils water in about 3 minutes. You can pick up the pot without the cord; thank you! Lovely automatic shutoff. I've bought two, for work and for home. PLEASE TAKE NOTE: read the instructions! "Great kettle" This is the first kettle what I found with NO plastic parts inside and I love it!! The price is good + it looks great! "Broke after 6 months" Worked great but broke after 6 months. Would not turn on. It is all steel inside but the lid is plastic. Made in China.

What our customer's say! "Worked great.....while it lasted!", I bought this stainless steel kettle to replace a plastic GE one that I loved, but it wasn't stainless and it didn't have the bells and whistles of this one. I loved it, it heated the water quickly and cut itself off when the water boiled. It had a seperate base that stayed plugged in, all I had to do was lift the kettle and pour the water out. So great. Unfortunately, it just stopped working. At first it would stop working and then start again. But alas.....it has now stopped for good. I had to dig out my ugly GE one. I only paid about $12 for the GE, and it's worked daily for about four years....this one was considerably more, and it's dead after nine months. So sad.....I shall miss it, but will now look for a stainless steel one of another brand. Rest in peace lovely kettle. Oh....I purchased it at Target....on clearance in Dec/07 for about $25. A Good deal.....if it worked longer. "Just What the Doctor Ordered", After many years of using Braun WK200W Aqua Express Electric Water Kettle - White, I have decided to switch from plastic to a glass or a stainless steel electric kettle, because of concerns over carcinogens possibly being released from plastics that are exposed to high temperatures. I could not find a glass electric kettle with good reviews, and after a long search I found this all-stainless-steel one. It was not that easy, as most of the stainless steel kettles have that water level indicator window, which is made of plastic. I'm not sure about the long-term reliability of this kettle - I see a few one-star reviews where it broke in a few months, so I'll just review the features of the kettle based on just two days of using it. The good: - The inside is all stainless steel ("just what the doctor ordered!") - COOL TOUCH = TRUE! As cool as my old plastic kettle! But that's only if you boil the water only once and not a few times one after another. After three consecutive boils, it becomes hot, but still not hot enough to get a burn from a brief touch. Also - after you pour the just boiled water out, the area around the pouring spout will become quite hot, as the outer and inner steel cylinders meet (probably are welded together) at the top of the kettle. - It looks nice on my kitchen counter - Boiled water does not have any smells or tastes, which, according to Amazon reviews that I read, many other steel or glass kettles on the market have. The bad: - The bottom of the lid is plastic, so the hot steam will hit it, condense, then fall back into the kettle, possibly dissolving some substances from the plastic, which will end up in my hot water, but at least there is less plastic exposure overall. They should have covered the bottom of the lid with a thin layer of steel. - The base makes the entre thing at least feel unstable: a. it is much smaller in diameter than the bottom of the kettle, b. the kettle could be easily tilted three ways sideways while the base remains flat on the kitchen counter and c. the base is made of thin plastic. - With the lid fully open in vertical position, it is still hard to pour the water into the kettle in it's front part, because of the mesh strainer that gets on the way. It was much easier with my Braun, where I didn't even need to open the lid at all. On this kettle, with the lid closed, the opening is quite small to fill it up with water. - Pouring spout is too wide. Pouring the water into a cup must be done slowly or otherwise the water will spread all over the very wide pouring spout and possibly end up outside your tea cup. I'm willing to live with all the above imperfections, because this is the only "all-stainless-steel" (and "cool-touch") kettle I could find and it does the job. "item is great - seller is not", the profuct is great! i tried to replace my old one. the seller cancelled because they ended up out of stock after i had already placed my order. "Died after 2 months", I bought this at Target. I liked the clean interior, the large opening, and the fact it was stainless steel. It worked well for 2 months and then quit working. If you read the reviews, this seems to be a problem with a lot of the electric kettles. I had one that worked for 10 years, until I accidently melted it on the stove top, but I don't remember what that brand was. They don't make them like they used to. "Love this item!!!!", Other reviews had said ," I don't know how I ever lived without one of these". I thought they must be crazy. How hard is it to just heat water on the stove or microwave? Now, I'm saying the same thing. LOVE this item! Was very hard to figure out how to put on the lid, but it finally popped on & now, I have no complaints. Heats very quickly & stays cool outside. A very good buy!! Would make a great gift. ![]()
Read this reviews before You buy... "drip, drip, drips", after researching different kettles, i decided on this one for features, price and my preference for metal instead of plastic as we are concerned about the safety of plastics . we have always had good experiences with other hamilton beach products. after a month of daily use it now drip, drip, drips from a leak at the base. i will be returning it tomorrow. too bad, as it was a great design-easy to fill, fast heat up. in fact, i may try another one-two times the charm?. "Would be perfect with just a few minor changes", After looking at lots of kettles, and reading lots of reviews, I'm glad I purchased this one. For an all-stainless, cordless kettle, the price is great. Also, it is double-walled, with a seamless interior, which is a big bonus for several reasons. Water inside will stay hotter, there are no nooks and crannies for bacteria or hard water deposits to build up, and the outside stays cooler. Also, you are not boiling your water in plastic, which is the carcinogen du jour. Also, the sleek, stainless design looks great on the counter top. As an item that sees daily use, this is where my kettle will live, so looks were important. Filled to the max fill line, this pot brought water to a boil in approximately 3 minutes. The few minor drawbacks I've noticed so far are: 1. Max fill line should be at back. It is hard to see when the lid is on, in the up position. 2. The lid design is slightly awkward. We have a pull-out faucet, so filling is no big deal, but this might be an issue if you need to tip it to get it under the spout. Also, it takes a quick, firm "snap" to get the lid to latch into the closed position, and I wonder if it will fail eventually. A more solid latch would be nice. 3. The pour spout could be more well-defined. It doesn't really drip, but may be awkward for pouring into tea pots with small openings, etc. 4. It is tall and narrow. This reduces the footprint on the counter, but a short, squat design might reduce heating time somewhat. 5. The base could be a little heavier and sturdier-feeling. If this kettle holds up to daily use, it will be well worth the investment, and best of its class, especially considering that it is significantly cheaper than much of the competition. "Got cut on the metal lip!", Heats fine - but I cut my finger on the very sharp metal on the pouring spout. Not worth it. I've too many other family members who also use it. I was replacing another kettle that I'd had for 4 years which is no longer made. Guess I'll have to keep looking. What I really want is one of the variable temp ones that is also suitable for green teas as well as the higher temps for black teas. "Just what I wanted!", I have been looking for a stainless steel, concealed element kettle, with NO water level indicator for AGES! And here it is. No level indicator for me to wonder what interesting objects are setting up shop there, no stupid plastic parts to pop off, a sensible lid, an exterior that, while it gets pretty toasty, won't burn. Oh and did I mention it heat water faster than I thought the laws of physics allowed? This is THE kettle. Worth the few extra $$ because it is exactly what I wanted. "Fantastic Kettle !!!!!!!!!!!", I bought the Hamilton Beach Cool Touch Kettle at Target today for $29.95, and am very pleased. The lid is easily removed, but does not fall off when pouring, and the screen filter is an added plus. It has a large opening that allows easy cleaning of the inside. I did have a leaking problem just like someone else reported, but I learned that it was operator error. Overfilling will cause the kettle to leak through the overflow port at the top of the handle and direct hot water safely down through the bottom. I guess this is to protect those that don't read the directions. The maximum fill line in on the inside at the front, and I found this a little hard to see. I wish they had put the fill line at the back where water is added. This unit is QUICK!!! and makes very little noise. It will make it so much easier for me to heat water for my morning cup of coffee, or instant soup for lunch. ![]() |
