Hamilton Beach Electric Tea Kettle
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Hamilton Beach 1.7-liter stainless-steel kettle delivers rapid boiling thanks to its 1500 W element and large capacity. It lacks a keep-warm function and detailed expert reviews, which may leave some performance questions unanswered. Ideal for tea enthusiasts and busy households needing quick hot water.
Cuisinart's JK-17P1 is a 1.7-liter stainless-steel cordless kettle that boils water in under 5 minutes, featuring a blue backlit water window and comprehensive safety controls. The water level can be hard to read in bright light and the lid opening is narrow, with no keep-warm function. Suited for households needing fast, reliable hot water with a solid warranty.
