Proctor Silex Electric Kettle, Tea & Water Kettle with Detachable Cord and Auto-Shutoff, 1L, White

I bought this to take traveling. When we stop at hotels I enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the morning before we leave for the day. I don't like using hotel coffee makers so I bought this to heat up my water and make tea or instant coffee. I know it's clean and fresh. Also I like the fact it has a window so you can see the water heating up. The automatic shut off feature is a great selling point. Great price too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hamilton Beach Proctor Silex Kettle works great. Heats water really quick that way I can have that cup of tea or bowl of Ramen.. y husband uses it for his oatmeal. It's cute and very functional. We use it everyday.

Heats up Sooooo Fast.. but came damaged..exchanged it for another like it.. Worked Great.. : )

Was according to my specifications

Excellent kettle! Does not take up space and works brilliantly!

Nice quick kettle.

Exactly what I expected. Quick to boil, LOVE the auto shut off, see thru window. Only wish the electric cord was longer (then I wouldn't have to unplug to pour). VERY GOOD PRICE

Boils water FAST but makes more noise as it heats up than I expected. Loud for office with open plan work areas.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kettle was alright for me. For the pros, it works efficiently and quickly at boiling water and it turns off by itself. It's relatively compact, not bulky, and the handle does not get hot. However, it does have some design components that are important to note. For me the cord is the main issue with this kettle. It is a detachable cord, which normally wouldn't be a problem at all, except this one doesn't fit securely when attaching it to the kettle. It moves around and feels flimsy, often times you have to really push it in and play around with it to turn it on. The cord is also super short! If you have a space near an outlet where you can plug this in and have it sit somewhere flat, this won't be an issue for you. But for me, I like to use my kettle in various different places and there isn't always an outlet right next to it, so a longer cord would be very useful. Overall, it does the job quickly but the cord does need some work.

So far, I love this product. It makes an amazing fresh tea cup. I don't have to worry about leaving it on, I can set it up and go do something else, but sometimes I do forget to turn it on. When I pour water to the cup the water comes out the sides.
