Seeing all the electric kettles other people had, my girlfriend started thinking it would be a nice thing to have for her kitchen. So I started looking at all the features of all the other kettles and it was really hard to find one that did it all: programmable start time, temp, automatic keep warm feature, nice ergonomics and durabilty. The Hamilton Beach was the outstanding exception. It has it all, does it all. She uses it every day and is *very* pleased with it. Telling her friends about it, she says "It's like, Where have you been all my life!"

Main thing I like is that once you set the temp, it always heats to that temp without having to reset it each time like many other pots. Holds temp for an hour; walk by and hit the on button again to continue heating. It gets several hours of use in the morning and again in the evening which doubtless contributes to its longevity. I've had several over the years and keep buying them because nothing else suits my needs as well as this one and the price is quite reasonable. First pot lasted a year, second one a few months, third one a couple of years, and now we're on the fourth one that we've had for a month'. Its easier to buy a new one rather than fiddling with returning it for warranty when one dies within the warranty period. I've kept the receipt and box for this one so if it dies soon it will get returned.Read full review

I have been a happy owner of Hamilton Beach for a looong time and this is just so I have a replacement ready in an unlikely case that my current kettle die. I tried many other kettles before and all had the same problem. The on/off switch installed on the kettle suffered form being exposed to a hot temperature and eventually it stopped working. This particular kettle is designed in a way that all the switches are not embedded in a harsh environment, so, they last many times longer. I also take care of not leaving the kettle in an on state for a long time. Just as soon as I notice the water has reached 212 degree I turn the kettle off. I don't care about "programmable" feature, never use it. The bottom line, if you follow this simple prcedure (use it just for boiling, then off) this kettle will last "forever". So, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a dependable electric kettle.Read full review

To set the clock, you can only advance 1 minute at a time, meaning that you have to press the button for every advancement, holding the button for a rapid advancement doesn't work, you have to press it each time for each minute, There's nothing to let you know when the water is ready, no beep, no light, nothing, and for these reasons I only gave it 3 stars , other than that it works good

Just purchased this unit to replace same model that died after slightly less than 2 years of usage. Used to brew green tea twice daily. Fortunately, I bought insurance on that unit. To be on the safe side, insurance recommended.
