Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 10 Cup Electric Kettle Stainless Steel
Customer Review: You Get What You Pay For
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this at a warehouse store and while the price was great, the design is awful when you analyze it.
(-) The unit is quick to boil but boils on full boil markedly longer than my Krups unit. Will this be a problem in the future?...
(-) The scale filter (which pops off too easily int the water!!), measure meter inside and lid is also plastic. If you have health concerns on "Made in Chine" plastics (as MANY kettle consumers do!), this stainless steel/plastic hybrid is not for you.
(-) The flimsy lid is too small so you can't clean it easily.
(-) The steel is uninsulated so you'll BURN your hand quite easily if you touch it.
(-) The teeny little dot of a light failed after Day 1.
(-) The bottom base is flimsy and doesn't secure the unit too well.
(-) The springy lid pops back open with force so hot water can scald you if you aren't paying attention.
For the price I paid for it, I can't complain, but I'm returning it as it's not soundly designed compared to my old soundly designed German Krups kettle.
If you're a college student with little dough, maybe you can live with its shortcomings but the plastic stuff touching the water in one way or another leads me to search elsewhere.
