Hamilton Beach Professional Professional Digital LCD Temperature Control Kettle

Llegó perfecto, a tiempo y todo bien. Herví agua un par de veces por que así decía el instructivo que se limpia antes de usarse, en el contorno del fondo tenia una especie de silicon, lo limpié con cuidado aunque costo mucho trabajo, por que seguía habiendo sedimentos de silicon en el agua. En fin, la use unas cinco veces y funcionaba muy bien, pero de pronto empezó a pitar sola y de ahi ya no volvió a funcionar. Creo que la debí haber regresado desde lo del silicon.

I have a large kettle that lives on my stove. I rarely use it because it is so energy inefficient. This electric kettle heats the water quickly, so I am using less energy, and that is good for everyone.

It has a choice of various temperatures, including one for the French press. I use that setting the most. I use it to heat water to dissolve chicken, beef, and vegetable base, for steaming vegetables, and when making rice. It’s easy to see exactly how much water is in the carafe, and since the top flips back when you push the button, it’s also easy to fill.

I had another electric kettle that had a switch to push down on, and when the switch broke one day while looking at reviews of similar machines, I noticed a lot of the reviews mentioned that the unit was great, except the switch failed after a year – just about the same amount of time as mine. Therefore, I decided I did not want to get another electric kettle with a switch.

This kettle has buttons, and it has a clear indication of exactly how hot the water is at any given time. It will keep the water hot for you if you wish. It is also programmable, but I have not used that feature.

purchased one and rusted on the lid got a second one and this time rusted on the lid (which is not SS) and now it also leaks… Just like other buyers, the countertop and the base of the kettle with water… product has over 1 year of use. Trying to contact HB to see what they say about these defects…
Will update this review.

Update: Hamilton beach customer service honored the warranty and stood by their product. I am so excited to have a replacement because I really love this electric kettle. There’s nothing like waking up to water that is already ready for my pour over and my husband’s tea. I haven’t found any others that do the timer programming as well and work as quickly as this stainless steel beauty. I wonder if there is some thing with the design based on other reviews and will try to keep extra care to not let any moisture get near the heating element of the base plate and on the kettle because I don’t want this one to break again. I noticed some corrosion in the one that broke so maybe that’s the reason. Not sure if that was the problem but I love this one enough to treat it with kid gloves

Love the timer program option, the heat settings, how fast it heats and so disappointed that it broke for no reason after 5 months I tried to contact the company and nothing/ no reply.

I bought this kettle when it was on sale and it’s one of my best purchases of the year. I like to make coffee in the morning with a french press and black tea in the evenings. With the temperature controls at hand, I can make coffee without that “burnt” taste and properly steeped tea with just a few button presses. In addition, I can program the kettle to turn on in the morning at a set time so the water is ready for me. Further, it has a stay warm feature so if I hit the snooze button I can still get up 15 minutes later and my water will be the perfect temperature. This kettle looks great and performs even better!

My last kettle was purchased here in 2013, also a s.s. HB. I accidentally broke the display through clumsiness and purchased this kettle as a replacement. It’s been a real joy. This one is styled completely differently, not that that makes any difference. There have been real improvements over my older one. First, I can easily select six different heating temps. I drink several types of tea as well as coffee, and this is great. This one has a beep and a light. When I turn it on to start heating, the gauge on the side of the kettle lights up blue, making it very easy to see the water level. On my old kettle I had to squint to read the un-lit sight glass. When the kettle reaches the desired temp, it beeps twice, so I no longer have to walk over to see whether it’s boiling. The old kettle would keep the temp at boiling (or near-boiling) for an hour, and then auto-shut off. In the morning, I usually have two cups of coffee so I won’t have to go heat up the kettle for the second cup. However, unlike my old kettle, it also gives a choice of 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes of keep-hot time. I have what is probably average hands and I have no problem reaching inside if I wish to scrub. Even though I use the Berkey filter system for filtering water, I still clean the carafe once a week with white vinegar to take scaling off the bottom.

This is a long review because I rely on this kettle several times daily. I’d still be using my prior Hamilton-Beach from 2013 if I hadn’t broken it. I expect this fine appliance to last as long.
