I have a smaller version of this one (max 1lt), works absolutely perfect and it changed my life since it's a lot of time saving , I can leave it boiling by it's own while I do some other quick thing, and i don't have to worry about spilling. Fast and easy. Totally recommend it!
@@barackthecomposer6642 actually glass is the best option!!! Way better than stainless steel as it doesn’t release any metals or toxins, and it can withstand very high heat. I just found out about glass kettles since they seem so beautiful to me, I wonder why people don’t buy glass ones instead 😄
I debated this model vs a steel one. Decided on the steel one because I’ve had hot pot + cold water shock destroy a glass teapot before. Also, i will drop it. Not might, will.
Has anyone been able to remove the filter? I bought the kettle because the website said the filter is REMOVABLE for easy cleaning, but has anyone actually been able to remove it?
I’ve had this for several years, no complaints but recently it just started leaking dripping out the bottom. Must’ve reached its planned date of obsolescence like all other Hamilton beach appliances it works great for the time you have a warranty then suddenly dies like clockwork. Cheap but not environmentally friendly.
Bought two of these. One for me and one for my daughter. Worked great for about two months, then the lid broke. A couple of weeks later, it started leaking at the bottom. When lifted off the base , there was water pooling all over it. Piece of crap.
My mom and I both have this kettle, she had hers for several years before my sister accidentally dropped it onto the countertop (upright), but I guess the impact still broke the glass at the base. Mine is doing great after 3 years. A glass kettle is going to be more fragile than a fully steel one but it's much prettier so I feel like it's worth it for me. Now if only somebody could help me figure out how to remove this mesh filter, I've watched way too many videos trying to figure that out.....
No you cannot put anything but water in a kettle. The filter is to filter sediment from pouring out into your mug/beverage. Tap water always has sediment in it.
I too like this appliance. My only complaint is that it boils for so long before shutting off. way longer than any other kettle I've owned. I tried to see if I could reduce the time somehow but there is no way that I could figure out. I usually just shut if off manually I've I'm around.
Just pull the lid up till it clicks in up position. My problem it releases the smell of chemicals, my water smells bad and I try vinegar, baking soda, nothing helps.
Thanks that was a great review. How load is the kettle when heating. From the video it seems it is quieter when running than the sound of the water boiling. Is that really the case?
I got one of these recently and I've noticed a strong plastic or "new kettle" smell. Did you have had the same problem, and if you did, where you able to get rid of the strong smell? The smell is still present even after multiple boils and one cleaning with vinegar. Thank you in advance for your time.
It probably has to do with the lid and the handle an or the base, but it's definitely not coming from the bowl where the water is boiling so don't worry about it.
I purchased another, more expensive brand recently, and had to return due to glue like odor after boiling water. It was not initially noticeable due to the vinegar-water cleanse they advise before first use. Now it’s back to a regular stainless steel kettle I guess....
No the bottom is stainless steel. I'm not sure a kettle like that exists, I feel like there's a risk of glass breaking if it's touching heating elements directly? I'm not sure though, that's just my thinking since I've never seen one
I just bought this and I love it! First tea kettle tbh, but do you have to unplug when it’s done boiling? Can you leave it on the hot plate unplugged to keep it warm?
The same amount of water on stove top was 11+ minutes. So it’s give or take 3 minutes, but it’s good if you don’t have a stovetop like an office or dorm room.

I have this kettle. I absolutely love it.
+Seth Rader Hi Seth, thanks for sharing your experience with us :)
I also love that it auto turns off if you accidentally bump the on switch if there no water inside.
its really great and not too big ....looks so pretty while in use
bestkitchenreviews can u boil eggs in it?
Me too, saved me so much money and has saved me so much time
After watching this video I bought one , the blue light did it for me lol
😄
Do I have to fear the glass exploding?
Is this glass pot as safe as the traditional metal pot? :-)

persona min yoongi
Thank you friend.
I suspect many people, like me, or afraid the glass will break from heat
Allow joint to the club. 😹
At night time the soft blue illumination light really glows, pretty effect. She should have dimmed the lights and showed us. Next time

Very good review. Simple and straight forward. It’s now on my buy list. Thanks.
👍😁
my parents had this kettle for about a year and the glass spout broke - be careful not to tap it or rest it against cup rims
Whoa geez
It's made of glass.
@@teekey1754 really? I had no idea

I like the Hamilton Beach Tea pot, but mine is the one you can't see through. I like the Clear one more after seeing this video. Thanks!
i love my kettle everyone compliments it when they see it plus i got it free as a credit card reward so yeah!! nice review!
...............Thank you!!!!..................You poured it!!!!!....................No one else does!!!!!
I drink a lot of tea in the winter.I'm looking for something that will keep the water hot thru out the day. Does this do that ?
+rakesfunnyfarm Hi, no this won’t keep the water hot. You’d have to pour the water into a thermos 😀
If people don't understand why the screen is at the pour spot it's to keep bugs out of your tea kettle
What a fabulous review - thx so much for posting - most helpful - cheers
😁👍
Thank you!❤
You're welcome 😊
I reviewed this as a gift. I love it. 🙏🏿💕🙏🏿
Talk about a time saver! Sounds Awesome!
So this is just a water boiler, like a pot?
Like a kettle.
Good review. Got to the point - I like it :)
Thanks, Michael :)
Thank you so much for sharing .. just got one today for my wife .. I loved it and I hope she does too :)
👍😁
Can the mesh be replaced eventually or is it on the unit perminte?
Boils in 7:30 full. Clean it with 1 tsp of vinegar and water, let stand for 40 min.
Does anyone have a problem with this kettle "squealing" while it is heating up to boil?
I’ve had this for several years, no complaints but recently it just started leaking dripping out the bottom. Must’ve reached its planned date of obsolescence like all other Hamilton beach appliances it works great for the time you have a warranty then suddenly dies like clockwork.

Love mine. With the minimum water it gets to a boil real fast. Faster than microwave. Ops my tea is ready see ya
dont drink microwaved water

I must have gotten a defective one. Mine doesn't automatically turn off, and now after only a few months of using it the switch doesn't work at all.
This kettle is less time consuming for boiling water........
that's a very long boiling time
The lid doesn't stay open any more when I'm putting water in the kettle.
I dont understand why choose an electric kettle over a stove kettle? Is it only for the time save or is there something im missing?
Can you tell me how long the cord is?
Looks safer than my metal kettle with its thick cool handle. What is the filter for? can i add loose tea to pot boil it? ty

I have the same problem, any fix you found?
My cord will not unwind from base
I wanted you to show us how to fill up the water. Can't find a way to keep the lid open while you are filling the kettle with water.
Just pull the lid up till it clicks in up position. My problem it releases the smell of chemicals, my water smells bad and I try vinegar, baking soda, nothing helps.
How to fix the crack for this kettle
My Kettle the auto shutoff is not working
i have to manually turn it off by lifting the lever
Thanks that was a great review. How load is the kettle when heating. From the video it seems it is quieter when running than the sound of the water boiling. Is that really the case?
Hi Michael, yes the kettle is quiet when heating. It gets louder as it starts to boil and of course it's loudest at full boil. 😀
bestkitchenreviews
So this glass kettle does “whistle“ or “hum”Just like a traditional metal pot?
@@barackthecomposer6642 No.
Is the bottom of the water container glass or metal?
great review! thank you
Glad you liked it :)
I bought this cattle after reading lots of reviews and watched youtube videos.This cattle start leaking in 6 months
This spills water out is there any one having that issue and what is the solution?
shalom4714 it might be filled past capacity
You more likely overfilled. I am happy with everything only cattle realices chemicals and my water smells.
friend
this kettle is 110V or 220V
and do you test how many times does it take to make 1L water boiled?
thank you
110v
My daughters did exactly the same thing.
is there any plastic on the inside that comes in contact with the water?
Mine stopped working after one use. :(
Is this good for college dorms
I got one of these recently and I've noticed a strong plastic or "new
kettle" smell. Did you have had the same problem, and if you did, where
you able to get rid of the strong smell? The smell is still present even
after multiple boils and one cleaning with vinegar. Thank you in

@@astralartist4 yes, I have the same problem, chemical smells from boiling water. Try to boil water with vinegar, try baking soda, it not working.
@@helendavidov7639 Ivreturned it and got acplain borosilicate all glass kettle for the stove!
Thanks for the review is there anyway to make the base more stable it seems quite loose for me 😑
Many brands make this identical kettle and most are loose like that. .
Is this considered a hot plate?
Nice
i feel like ill break it
How to wash for first use?
how long does it take to boil two cups?
I'm looking for a kettle were the water only touches glass (NOT METAL at any point). Is this inside of the kettle glass ONLY (no metal)?
No the bottom is stainless steel. I'm not sure a kettle like that exists, I feel like there's a risk of glass breaking if it's touching heating elements directly? I'm not sure though, that's just my thinking since I've never seen one
No matter how many times I spin the damn thing around the base, the button won't stay down or boil.
+elparanorman Hi, I suggest contacting Hamilton Beach customer service regarding this issue.
I just bought this and I love it! First tea kettle tbh, but do you have to unplug when it’s done boiling? Can you leave it on the hot plate unplugged to keep it warm?
Hi Melley, you can leave it unplugged but the unit is already off. As soon as the lever goes up, the kettle is off, so it won't heat any further.
By chance, does the On switch stay on without the power plugged in? Asking because I would like to buy one and put one of my smart plugs on it. =)
Yes if it is sitting on the base not plugged in
it turns off automaticly
Can I put tea bags in the kettle? Or should I just pour onto teabags?
Aaron pour onto teabag
7+ minutes or more to fully boil is too slow & no faster than water in a range top saucepan.
totally agree, was going to buy one of these until I saw this review. May as well use the stove or better yet microwave
The same amount of water on stove top was 11+ minutes. So it’s give or take 3 minutes, but it’s good if you don’t have a stovetop like an office or dorm room.
Maybe someone can use this in an Office you shit stains
@@pabelmon1 A good brand will do it in 2-3 mins.
Just bought it today . I’m here now looking for reviews
After automatic turn off scared me off
Lol
How is it??
@@mycrease8936 im loving it , it helps me so much for fast hot water needs .
@@lizzetcastro73 great! I'll give it a shot.
How do you clean it?
Boil water, add 2 cups of vinegar and let sit
Can I boil milk in this ?
No, only water 😀
@@bestkitchenreviews can u suggest me a kettle for boiling milk , I live in dormitory 😓
It rusted after 3 uses!!
7 minutes to bring to a boil? Thats bad.
50hellkat2 it’s max amount of water. And remember, glass so it’s losing heat all over.
@@amyx231 Its a design issue, my old kettle is glass too, far faster.
2:50
Oster...much faster.
hi, we also have kitchen products, are you interested?
