This has review three parts: (1) why you should get something like this in general, (2) specific concerns about this product not addressed in other reviews, and (3) detailed operational measurements (water temperature range)
=== Part 1: Why to get an variable temperature electric tea kettle ===
For anyone who drinks tea (unless it is exclusively black) or makes coffee outside an all-in-one, department store drip-brewer, this is absolutely indispensable. Though most recipes have been built to use only room-temp or boiling water (since those are the only temperatures to easily reach with consistency), more cutting-edge cooking as well as coffee/tea prep requires more finesse. Unless you’re willing to watch the proverbial pot boil with a thermometer in hand, this is the only way to heat water on such occasions.
=== Part 2: Concerns / questions raised (and/or) left unanswered by other reviews ===
I won’t go into detail about well-established pros and cons covered in other reviews, but I would like to make clear a few things I couldn’t determine from reviews/specs before I bought mine:
(“Hot sides/surfaces”): Yes, the sides get hot, and yes, it is startling to touch the metal outer wall when the water is hot. However, according to my IR thermometer, the surface never gets much above 130 degrees. Sure, that’s hot and you should avoid contact, but for comparison many people’s hot water heater is set this high and (as validated by my rather stupid intentional touch test) an accidental touch is highly unlikely to cause even a mild first-degree burn unless you actively fight the reflex to instantly pull away.
(“Construction / Material touching the water”): True, the sidewall level indicator and the “frame” of the removable spout filter are made of plastic (the BPA content of which I have not conclusively proved or disproved) but the former is part of a small compartment which only a small amount of water reaches and which has very limited circulation, and the latter is removable. The entire rest of the construction that touches water is steel. Since hot water dissolves BPA from plastics, and aluminum’s role in neurodegenerative disease is unclear, iron/steel and glass are pretty much the only materials I trust completely for food storage/preparation containers. In this regard, this kettle is the safest option I’ve found.
=== Part 3: Operational test data ===
As a tea fanatic with a minimum of four kinds of tea always on hand (black, red/oolong, green, and white) and general geek, I have meticulously measured the actual temperature of the water in the kettle for the various settings. I share them here in hopes they will provide a useful operational profile for buyers interested in temperature variability. (Bear in mind that the container you pour into will greatly affect the water temperature, so remember to preheat it by filling it with hot water right before use.)

I know this is half generally-relevant bullet points, and half geek-oriented test data, but I hope this review still has something useful for everyone.

* Updated – It is now almost 9 years later and it is still working great. I still stand by my original review! Great Product!!!!
After buying it as a Christmas present for myself, I have thoroughly enjoyed it and have used it all day long every day. I read the bad reviews before and after I bought this kettle. Here are some observations from what I read in the 1 and 2-star reviews. For those of you that have had the kettle only last for a few months, to a year… I know that this kettle is expensive and should last longer. I would bet that after you pour a cup out of your kettle, you just set it back on the stand and walked off. This will put it into the hold temperature mode for about 30 more minutes. I know this is a feature but do you really need it to hold 212 degrees for an additional half hour? If you turn it off and then go back 30 minutes later and heat it again, it only takes a minute or two. Leaving it on puts unnecessary extra wear on the product fuse and heating base. I’m not defending it for burning out early, just suggesting a way to extend the life of the kettle. Next, I have read that after a month, a man and his wife still couldn’t figure out how to use it. Really?! You push the temperature you want and hit start, it beeps and stops blinking when ready. Got to wonder about that poor rating. Another one complained that it didn’t boil water any faster than their kettle on the stove. This is the one that gets me the most. If all you want to do is boil water, then save your money and boil water on your stove. This kettle is designed for tea lovers and press drinkers where a more precise temperature is required. This is what it is designed to do. If you throw boiling water over say, green tea, you have destroyed it. Press is best at 200-205 degrees. I, personally, got tired of boiling water then standing there with a thermometer waiting for the temperature to drop for my press coffee. If you just want to boil water… skip this and save your money. Another complaint was that the bottom was flaking off the inside of the kettle. It’s called “mineral deposit”, from your water. A little vinegar boiled once a month will solve this. If you have a coffee maker (it’s the number one reason it will quit working) or a tea kettle on your stove, it’s in there too. Another complaint was it was hard to fill and see the level. If you pick it up off the base and set it back down, it will light up and it becomes the easiest item you’ll ever own, to refill. And lastly, several complained it was hard to keep fingerprints and dirt off of it. It’s ‘STAINLESS STEEL’, wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it off. I have enjoyed it so far because it does what it is designed to do. A little preventive maintenance (turn it off when not needing it), routine cleaning ( as you should be doing with your coffee maker) and common sense ( the biggie) then hopefully you will not regret purchasing this kettle. For those that have treated it correctly and still had problems, you have an actual right to complain, but those other reviews, like described above, c’mon guys… common sense.

I have used two other electric kettle that were glass and just boiled, I broke them both!! I said enough, I was looking for steel! I can also take this one when I travel and it won’t break!! Are you kidding at this price don’t pass this up! Settings for the type of tea your brewing, French press setting! I French press and love this. My husband and I will carry it with the steel French press we use if we travel. Perfect for hotel rooms!!! We put it in a backpack with our press coffee and teas! I only drink coffee or tea (iced or hot) I can make any tea or coffee I like with this kettle and anywhere I have water and power! This electric kettle has been a life changer. I use it several times a day and I have had it about 6 months!! It pours great no drips! It has a little screen inside to catch any particles in the water. You can’t really clean it in a traditional way. There is a temperature sensor in the bottom that you need to be careful with if wipeing it out. Your hand don’t really fit in it but again that is NOT the way you clean it. You use cream of tartar to clean it as the directions say. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth. I clean it with cream of tartar when some deposits on the bottom build up some. So easy it is clean and it’s clean as brand new. Only water goes in it and it boils so it don’t get that dirty! The last time I use it at night I shake it a bit when I pour out the last bit of water in the sink and leave the lid open while it’s still hot and it will dry. Again it’s in use all the time around here so it’s always wet inside. When we are making teas and hot chocolate with the kids or visitors you can keep the water warm with the keep warm feature and not have to wait each time for hot water. If you use it and your not going to for a little while always pour all the water out. On cold days it may have hot water in it most of the day. If I make coffee I empty the bottom of the water into the sink because I won’t be using it for a little while. If your making one or two cups of tea only put as much water as you need so it heats faster! The water gauge on the side makes that brainless even at 5 am lol! Also makes instant oatmeal, Mac and cheese and cup noodles. This kettle was life changing for me! It’s so easy to use. It keeps up with my needs, it portable I don’t have to use the stove and it’s not so delicate. I do take care not to get the controls or bottom wet that has to happen or you will mess it up! Follow the directions it has good directions. I have had a lot of good luck with Hamilton Beach products! Does exactly what the higher end brand does for a better price! If something happens to this one as long as they make them I will keep buying them! I love this kettle!! I think it would be amazing in an office, a dorm or any other place you don’t have a stove. If I had this when I worked I would have had one in my office along with a steel French press and variety of teas for sure!! Look no further you have found a true 5 star electric kettle!! I don’t give out 5 stars unless it’s perfect and this Hamilton Beach electric kettle has zero cons for me! Purchase this one!! You won’t be sorry!!

Love this! I was on the fence between a standard tea kettle vs electric. I reviewed a bunch before deciding on this. Works as claimed and my jasmine and green teas are so much better! I also drink lots of herbal teas. This heats water very fast! The temp control is fabulous. I knew temps should be lower for my teas, but was too impatient to let the boiling water cool for long and grew accustomed to bitter green teas. No more! Huge difference if you are a tea lover like me. The water gauge and swivel are also very nice features. While the “stay warm” feature holds temp for only 30-minutes, I have found the water stays hot for a good long time. If you have to reheat at all, only takes a few seconds. I don’t understand complaints about noise. It only makes noise when it is really close to temp—the sound of steam building in the kettle—not the actual device. Not a big deal at all and short-lived. I also don’t understand cleaning complaints. If I end up with hard water deposits, vinegar and a brush will work. I use filtered RO water for my tea, so shouldn’t be an issue. These are not designed to cook tea—and why would you? Tea (even black) is not meant to be boiled and cooked. A tea “pot” is for steeping. A tea “kettle” is for heating water. I would never do both in the same vessel. The “filter” is in case you have sediment in your water—not intended for actually brewing tea—although it looks like some people do. I have a separate glass teapot I use for actual brewing, so this is perfect. This is a little heavy when filled to max, but not unmanageable. I only fill to 1.5L (shoulder issue) rather than max and it is plenty of water and easy to handle. Love it! Hopefully, it lasts. If I have any issues, I will amend my review. I will add, I have a Cuisinart steam/bake toaster oven and also love that. Have had for a couple years now, use it a lot and NO issues. I sent another brand back that was inferior. So I am thinking this is a high-quality product. If it goes bad out of warranty, I will happily purchase another as I appreciate a good quality product and have used the heck out of it.

It’s hard to talk up this kettle too much, but I’ll try to be succinct and non-hyperbolic anyway. TL:DR the temp control releases fewer bitter compounds saving the flavor of many teas in a way that brewing time often can’t.
If you’ve done ANY research into brewing tea, you’ll have come across the almost universally agreed upon conclusion that different teas brew best in different temperature ranges (times as well, also there can be debate on the actual best range for a given tea, but the general point still stands). So, having a kettle that can just heat water to a given temp (roughly, I’ll hit that point later), rather than just boil then wait for it to cool enough, is a game changer, especially if it’s reliably consistent.
This is where this kettle shines. When I bought it, I heated water to the 6 different temp presets indicated and then tested it in the kettle with a thermometer right when it finished, and the results were generally within +/- 3 degrees F depending on where I stuck the probe. I consider this to be a reasonable result for a kitchen appliance (it’s not lab equipment after all) and the variance is small enough that most settings don’t have any overlap (the difference between the 185 and 190 setting may be a bit too fine but the averages are relatively on point). It is important to note that when you pour the water into whatever cup you’re using, you can almost instantly lose 10 degrees. This can be mitigated a bit by warming up the cup, or you can just heat the water 10 degrees hotter than the recommended brewing temp of the tea for all temps below boiling.
This makes such a difference! Even with relatively unrefined major grocery chain offerings of black, green, oolong and Darjeeling (I generally drink Twinings and yes, I know Darjeeling is technically classified as a black tea), I’ve found that proper brewing temps are far more vital than brewing times for controlling the dreaded bitterness of overbrewed tea. I find oolong, green and Darjeeling virtually undrinkable steeped in boiling water even if I only brew them for 2 minutes (I never do less than two because I don’t like to just drink slightly colored water when I’m making tea). But bringing those temps down allows you to not only steep them longer to allow more flavor to come out but the lower temps release fewer of those bitter tannin compounds. Plus, with the “Keep Warm” option, you can set the kettle to heat up while you’re taking a shower knowing that, whenever you eventually get out and are ready to finally pour out the water, it’ll be within a few degrees of where you set it as long as there’s still enough water left to keep the heating element from overheating.
Now you’ll have to experiment with the teas you prefer to drink as while the suggestions underneath the temp presets are a good starting point, I’ve diverged from a number of them based on my taste preferences. But at least with this kettle you have the option.
My only mild nit-pick was with the scale screen. When installed, I found it made it difficult to pour all of the water out of the kettle so a little bit would remain standing in it, which I didn’t like. And the small lip around the top makes it impossible to pour the remaining little bit out from the top. Removing the screen was very easy, though, and leaves only a small threaded rod sticking out of the inside of the pour spout that’s never caused me trouble. And as long as you don’t let ridiculous amounts of scale build up in your kettle (which is very easy to clean with boiling one or two passes of 50/50 vinegar/water solution even without scrubbing), the purpose of the screen in rendered irrelevant anyway. Removing the screen allows all of the water to pour out easily and completely, which is great if you’re usually heating single cups of water at a time (the minimum volume is .5 liters, which is a bit more than a standard 12-16 oz cup).
So, if you’ve read this far, all I can say is buy this kettle. And, once you get it, if you want to perform a personally verified experiment, get some Twinings Green tea at Walmart then brew a cup from boiling for 2 1/2 minutes then a cup at 185 for 2 1/2 minutes. The difference is night and day. Happy brewing!

I’ve been using this pot for around 2 months and the only complaint is that is heats to 5 degrees lower than what I set it for. It’s not a problem since I know to expect it and set it up 5 degrees higher. If I reset it it will come up to the desired temp so there are a few workarounds but overall I’m satisfied with it.

Head a loud pop and a circuit breaker tripped for where this pot was plugged in. It left a scorched spot on kitchen counter. When I turned the base over after the loud pop sound I noticed smoke coming out of or of the little holes. And around the hole was slightly discolored. There was no evidence of possible water splashed accidentally. Base and surrounding area was totally dry. This happened when the pot was NOT being used. It was just sitting on the kitchen counter plugged in. I want consumers to know this construction is sub standard. If it hadn’t been for that circuit breaker …..I shudder to think just how lucky we actually were!!!

We heat water quickly for tea, broth, and occasionally to make jello. It is very versatile and convenient. Otis also attractive and not bulky on the countertop. We use it almost daily. We also take it with us on vacation for convenience with hot drinks

I bought this product because I am tired of using my stove to heat up water for tea. The pot is portable and can be used anywhere, including my office where an electric outlet exists.
I enjoy different types of tea: black, green, white, herbal, etc, and the company Magic Hour from Ojai California is my new place to spend money. The tea selection is outstanding; the SKUs, neverending. There are goddess-themed teas, astrological sign-based teas, gemstone teas–how delightfully witchy can you get? Currently the tea blender is crafting a group of teas that reflect the archetypes of different Major Arcana tarot cards–a new one a month. The glass apothecary jars are works of art. The whole idea, fabulous–and intriguing–and my teapot on the stove just wasn’t enough.
Enter this temperature controlled tea kettle. Plug in, press a tea-category button and then start and the pot does the rest, beeping pleasantly when the water is the temperature your tea prefers for perfect brewing.
I love it. The kettle is the perfect companion for those who make an art out of tea-drinking.
One caveat: the outside of the pot does get hot, so brushing up against it with a stray arm will burn. My trick is to refill the pot with another bottle of water to diffuse the heat. Perfect!
And, no, I do not work for Magic Hour Tea; I just find the product delicious and the perfect treat.

Bought this to boil water for making coffee with my aeropress. Fast: Brings a full pot of water from the tap to a rolling boil in under 5 minutes. Has controls to select 5 different temperatures, and to hold the set temperature.
Backlit LCD indicates water temperature.

I purchased a previous version of this in 2014. It died about a month ago. I agonized over every single wide mouth 1.0 L or more temperature adjustable kettle. This is the best. No glass to break. Price is on point compared to the Fellow offering. Wide mouth for tea as opposed to a goose neck. Induction pad works well. Previous one lasted me for 10 years.

We use this daily to heat water for tea. It heats water super fast! Easy to clean and easy to use.

I love the electric kettle. It heats up fairly fast. You can see the amount of water in it once you turn it on to heat up, which lights up the water area. I posted a video so you could see when I shake the kettle, the water level moves which makes it easier to see. In the photographs and video. It is more difficult to see than it is in person. So far, we have no issues with it.

I bought 20 of these Cuisinart PerfecTemp Kettles as team gifts and even had them laser engraved. Everyone loves them! The kettle heats water quickly with its 1500-watt power, and the six preset temperatures are perfect for different types of tea and coffee. The cordless design and swivel base add great convenience, and the stay-cool handle is a nice touch. Highly recommend for anyone in the US looking for a reliable and versatile kettle!

I don’t know what I did before I had this! I used it for tea, for hot cocoa for Grandkids , for my morning oatmeal. It looks great on the counter and works wonderfully. Easy to fill even at the fridge door fountain. Easy to clean and nice because you can take it from its base and bring it to the table with you to pour into cups. With my tea kettle on the stove I was always forgetting about iputting down the spout on it so the water would boil out….or it would whistle and I’d not be able to get right to it and it would aggravate me or wake someone up. With this kettle it beeps twice and also if you’ve set that it should keep the water warm , it does for 1/2 hour.

Several months ago, my old one (Cuisinart) died. Browsing the Amazon replacement alternatives, I decided to try the Hamilton Beach. It was less than half the price of the replacement Cuisinart and has all the same functionality, but would it last? Of course, I don’t have years worth of use yet, but it has performed flawlessly for the time I’ve had it, and it gets used at least three times a day. I would buy it again.

I have been using this electric teapot for a while now, and it is still working like it should. Heating up water takes about the same amount of time as in a microwave for the same volume, but it is nicer because you can select the temperature setting. I love the lowest setting for Hot Chocolate, as you can drink it without scalding your mouth. I also use it for preheating water for making additional individual packets of ramen while waiting the 3 minutes for the pan on the stove. It cleans up very nicely and I feel it is a good value for the price.

My cat broke my plastic kettle and I was looking for a durable replacement. I was skeptical about the price, but it is worth it. This kettle is very solid and the lid has a push button to open and is flush with the top. The kettle boiled in less than 3 minutes and has various temperature settings for different uses, such as types of tea, French press, etc. The kettle will shut off when the temperature is met and go into warming mode. If the water gets too cold, the kettle will turn back on. The base is minimal and the kettle goes on easily. The connection element is in the middle, so the kettle can be put on in any position and rotated with no interruption in operation. Well worth the cost imo.

I was looking for an electric kettle with a digital temperature gauge, and since I’ve had Cuisinart products in the past, it was my go-to brand—Cuisinart offers longer warranties than most other manufacturers. This kettle has a 3-year warranty, while most other brands only offer 1 year.
Things I like about the kettle include being able to set a temperature and having the heating stop automatically. I like being able to set different temperatures for different uses. I mainly use it for coffee (in an Aeropress) and for black tea, which I set to 180°.
There is one major flaw I wish I had known about before purchasing: when the power goes out, the digital temperature resets to 212°, so I have to reset it to 180° every time. A backup battery, like in digital clocks, would easily fix this. Another dislike is the temperature range—the kettle can reach 212° for boiling, but the lowest setting is 140°.
I also heat water for active dry yeast when making bread. Since water above 120° kills the yeast, I have to watch the temperature carefully and remove it before it gets too high.

Clean simple Stainless Steel design looks great in any kitchen, office or dorm! I appreciate the different temperature settings and how quickly it heats. Great price point for a quality product from a trusted brand.

Love it. It gives me hot water in minutes and to my preferred temperature. I reviewed so many electric tea pots. I’ve owned mine for over six month. After making the hot water for tea, I unplug it. If you keep it plugged in, it will cycle to re-heat the water to the temp you pressed. It’s easy to forget and walk away even if you think you might return for another cup. I agree with another user that using the pot in this manner will put wear and tear on the heating element. READ the directions. Just plug it back in when you want a fresh hot pot of water. It’s very fast and the pot lets you know when it is ready and at your preferred temp.

We used to change our kettle each few months. And then we realized that we were always buying the plastic ones. No idea why, wife also has no idea.
By anyway we decided to go full metal. This one is really good. Its solid. It even has this beep beep for when its ready. And the auto-reheat or whatever its called, it actually does keep the water hot. It cycles for like 30 minutes to make sure the water is always close to boiling. Pretty neat. Nothing to improve here, it is really good.

I have used this electric kettle for over 5 years and it has held up exceptionally well for making tea during workdays. It’s durable, doesn’t wobble or leak, and easy to clean. I sprinkle citric acid inside and boil it a few times to remove mineral build up. The buttons light up to indicate water readiness and there are several convenient temperature presets available. It looks sleek despite some wear from being used frequently for years. There’s a small plastic piece at the spout for filtering which can be removed.
