Hamilton Beach HKE110 1 Liter Hot Water Kettle

Built solid and works great. Can’t complain. Would buy another one. Great value compared to the off brand garbage one I bought before it. 😉

Went to get another one shortly after buying mine and the price doubled!! 😮 … It’s a great unit and most likely worth it, but doubling of the price within a 10 day period is crazy.

I keep this at my desk. I fill it at the filtered water fountain at the office. It boils water super fast, faster than a stove top, maybe a minute boil. I got mine used and the top lid was broken and wouldn’t stay closed, and that looks like a likely common problem because the clip that holds the lid down is a tiny plastic tab. I like it despite that though because aside from the lid any surface liquid touches is all stainless. It doesn’t really need the lid it boils so fast.

It’s convenient to use and heats rapidly.

I love this kettle. It is a commercial kettle with a thee prong plug. Commercial kettles I read have an extra inspection step so I feel more assured there won’t be a fire from cheap components or workmanship. I did remove the plastic spout screen because I don’t want my boiling water touching plastic. When I fill the kettle to the 1 liter mark it does not overflow out the spout when boiling which I have read some reviews claim. I can’t remember if those reviews where for this kettle but I was mindful of it when filling it to 1liter. It’s a solid kettle and I recommend it. I am rating it as fair for the price because I paid $25 for it and immediately afterwards the price dropped to $20. I thought about returning nirvana purchasing the one for $20 but the hassle wasn’t worth $5.

I bought this kettle as a replacement for my Braun, which is 10 years old. I wanted to buy another Braun, but it looks like they are all 220 V now. I bought this commercial unit because the household units seem to have a lot of negative reviews. I also bought it because of the trusted brand-name. So far, I like this kettle a lot. It holds the equivalent of about five 6-ounce cups of water, which is enough for our morning. It is very easy to set up and use. It boils 1 Liter of water in about four minutes, just as fast as my old Braun. It uses 1200 W of power. It also has a long cord, which you can wrap around inside the base to shorten, if you don’t need the length. Some raters have complained that this is wobbly on the base. That is because of the pressure sensitive switch which will not allow the unit to turn on unless it has enough water in it. This is a good safety feature. Once you get above the minimum fill level, it no longer wobbles. I gave it a five star rating, because it looks like it deserves it. We’ll see. So far, I can highly recommend this unit.
