Hamilton Beach 40865 Glass Electric Kettle

Tea? Hot chocolate? Instant soup? If you have a taste for it, the Hamilton Beach 1.7 liter Glass Kettle can have it ready in minutes, incorporating the best of Good Thinking. With 1500 watts, this electric kettle can boil water faster than a microwave, and is safer to use than a stovetop kettle because it automatically turns off when the water reaches a boil. The modern soft blue illumination in the glass kettle along with a brushed, stainless steel base is compact, space-saving and looks great on the kitchen counter. Serving at the table is no problem as the kettle lifts right off the 360-degree rotating base without the cord. The powerful rapid-boil system provides fast heating from any standard outlet and the auto shut-off function helps keep the kettle from boiling dry. 1.7 liter Glass Kettle features a stay-cool handle, push-button lid and easy-pour spout that make filling and serving easy. A cord wrap is under the base for space-saving storage when not in use.

Product Description

With 1500 watts and automatic shutoff, the Hamilton Beach 1.7 Glass Electric Kettle is fasterthan a microwave and safer than a stovetop kettle. The soft blue illumination along with a brushed, stainless steel base looks great on the kitchen counter.Tips & Care Before use, fill kettle with selected amount of water with mesh filter in place, and ensure that water level is between 0.5 L and MAX on the water level window and on level surface before serving. Overfilling the kettle may cause boiling water to spit out of the spout. Do not use for any other purpose than heating water, as other liquids or food will contaminate the interior and void the warranty. If the kettle floor starts turning colors, dont panic. This is normal and tends to happen, and does not affect the kettles performance. Note: Care must be taken when handling the kettle to avoid spilled hot liquid, scalding or burns.

Auto off does not work on some of these. DANGEROUS!

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

I saw a couple of reviews that said that the kettle did not shut off by itself. I looked at the date of the reviews (that I saw) and they were at least a year old, so I figured that they had a problem with the switch a year ago, but surely they fixed it by now, (Dec 2017). When I received the product I tested it and it seemed to work fine, it shut off all by itself, Cool! We were planning on moving right after the holidays, so I put it in the garage with the other stuff I purchased for the new house. The first morning in the new house, I fired up the kettle, started my morning routine, make sure everyone is up and getting ready for school etc, and when I came back to the kitchen this thing was at a full rolling boil, pumping out steam like a chain smoker that just got off a 12 hour flight! Even the plastic handle was hot to the touch! The underside of my cabinets were absolutely dripping with water over an area about 4 feet wide. I feel very strongly that this item is dangerous and I just wanted to let people know.. I will update if I hear anything back from the warranty department.

Best kettle for under $50

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2016

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

This kettle is fantastic; my peers and I treat it terribly and I am very impressed with the way it has held up. It is very consistent, quick, and pretty to look at. The switch feels very sturdy. My one gripe is that it has begun to rust on the top of the handle, but that is because condensation forms there and no one wipes it off. I did my research and kept on coming back to this kettle, so if you have too, then go ahead and buy it.

Essential for Brits - or anyone - in need of a proper cup of tea - everyday! **UPDATED!**

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

**UPDATE AFTER 18 MONTHS OF USE**
This little baby is still going strong! She has served me so well for exactly 18 months now and is only just starting to show a little wear and tear. The metal strip that goes from the hinge at the lid, down and along the handle has started pulling away ever so slightly and there's a little bit of rust there - I'm guessing its from steam escaping from the lid. No big deal though. Apart from that, I am still extremely pleased with my purchase. I could not get by without my two or sometimes three, cups of tea every day. I'd be lost without this. This, and Yorkshire teabags from Amazon. Mmm.

I even still get a kick out of the funky blue light. Best purchase ever!

After moving to the U.S, it wasn't long before I realized that a bag of Lipton just did not cut it, because us Brits; we love our tea! I was also surprised that at stores such as Walmart/Target etc, there really isn't a vast choice of electric kettles on offer either. But I get it, coffee is by far the more popular choice...

So my quest began about 6 years ago when I ended up buying a run of the mill electric kettle from a big box store. That guy finally gave up earlier this year though and so I turned to... Where else, but here of course, for a new one - and Amazon never fails to disappoint!

Here are a few points that impressed me about this item:

* Being familiar with the Hamilton Beach brand, their standard of quality met my expectations. None of the components feel cheap or flimsy. This kettle is well built.

* I was a bit wary about the glass on this kettle however. Initially I thought it might be too fragile and break easily but I've had no problems with that at all and on the contrary, it actually seems quite hard wearing.

* I really like the design. The stainless steel finish and the pretty blue light inside the look really cool.

* It's boils water quite fast. Probably less than 60 seconds I'd say, and it automatically turns off upon reaching boiling point. Just remember to snap the lid on firmly after filling it to ensure the water doesn't run dry!

*i found the price to be really fair - not expensive at all.

My husband are so happy with this purchase - it has even encouraged him to start grinding whole beans and using a French press for his much needed cup of coffee too. Now he says he'll never go back to instant or a Keurig pod.

So in conclusion, this is a great buy - one I'm so happy to come across on Amazon for a great price and one that can do justice to my precious, authentic English tea bags! :) (Yorkshire Tea by the way if anyone's interested).

Feel free to comment if you have any questions.

Product worked great until it caught on blazing fire while in the off position.. Shooting flames that kept reigniting, even after it was unplugged.. And no, I wasn't heating it on the burner, that's where the fireman dumped the heap..

Pretty but doesn't hold up with daily use.

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

First of all I have owned this kettle for about a year and half and have used it daily. After about 8 months the light stopped working. I was bummed but the kettle still worked. Well last week it started leaking on the bottom and we finally tossed it. It's really pretty when you first get it but it won't last.

Great kettle!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

This kettle is wonderful! Quick to heat water and the blue light displayed while heating the water is a nice touch. This kettle gets used daily several times with no issues after two months since purchased. Quick tips - as other reviewers noted, the bottom of the kettle develops scale after several uses. With water filled to about the half way mark, I added 3 - 4 "glugs" of white vinegar and turned it on. When the kettle completed the heating cycle, 95% of the scaling was gone. A quick rinse out and it was ready to go again, no scrubbing involved. The last tip is that like other reviewers noted, my kettle also continued to boil water without stopping with the automatic shut off. The problem wasn't the kettle for me. When closing the lid occasionally, the lid made a clear clicking noise, and seemed sealed. It wasn't. Now I make sure the lid is down all the way and the issue has stopped. I really enjoy this kettle and couldn't be happier with it.

Great kettle!

Reviewed in Canada on February 24, 2020

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

*Purchased April.26.2018*

We were shopping for a new glass and/or stainless steel electric kettle and came across the Hamilton Beach 1.7-Liter Glass Kettle. It had everything we were looking for; decent price, glass with stainless accents, cordless, large capacity and admittedly the blue LED lights really caught my eye lol.

We were hesitant at first, after reading some of the reviews. But with Amazons return policy and the impressive 5yr warranty stated, we decided to give it a try.

After receiving it 2 days later(Prime), we anxiously opened it up and prepared it for its first boil.
The first thing I noticed was how nice it looked on the countertop. Yes, the blue light provide a cool effect, but even when off the kettle has a nice modern look.

Next, this kettle boils extremely fast! At max capacity, it reaches a full boil in under 5 mins! Much faster than our previous kettle. The auto-shutoff feature turns the kettle off after about 20-30 seconds of rapid boiling. Although, the power on/off toggle switch does seem a little loose/flimsy it has never posed a problem and the auto-shutoff has worked 100% of the time.

After a week or so of daily use, we noticed some "rust-like" discoloration on the bottom plate which covers the heating element. This was not rust at all, but mineral deposits from the water. A simple wipe with a cloth and rinse with water and it was gone. We continue to do this every other week or as signs of discoloration appear.

The "wide" opening makes it easy to get into and clean, although not quite wide enough for my large hands, my wife has no difficulty.

We've been using this electric kettle consistently(10-20 boils per day) for almost 2 years, without any issues... even the cool blue LED lights still work! Would definitely purchase again if/when needed.

I wanted to use this before I left review. ...

Reviewed in Canada on September 22, 2017

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

I wanted to use this before I left review. Once the water boils the off switch is supposed to pop to the off position once it was done boiling...but it stays on and continues to boil. This is a safety hazard. I get your not supposed to walk away from it in the kitchen but all kettles I have owned have shut off automatically once it was done.

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

Cuando estaba buscando un hervidor, pasé por docenas de modelos. En todos encontraba alguna reseña que me incomodaba, defectos, calidad, calentamiento del asa...
Al ver esta me enamoré del diseño, aunque se pasaba un poco de mi presupuesto planeado.
Decidí irme a "lo mejor", compré esta y no me arrepiento. Me di cuenta de que aunque costaba hasta el doble que las otras, es un aparato que usas casi diario, y vale mucho la pena el diseño visual, el apagado automático y la base sin cable (me encantó esta tecnología btw). El asa es muy cómoda y sientes que estás usando un aparato duradero.

Nice looking but auto-shutoff is a lottery

Reviewed in Canada on November 27, 2018

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

I concur with other reviewers, the auto shutoff feature is flakey at best. I read a manufacturer instruction insert which says it should shut off 30-90 seconds after the water begins to boil, which seems excessive in the first place. But occasionally it won't shut off automatically at all, just carries right on boiling (yes I have made sure the lid is tightly closed). It's only 6 months old so I looked at the warranty details. Don't be fooled by the "Quality Backed by 5 year Warranty" claim. The small print says that they will repair or replace it at their option, but the purchaser is responsible for all shipping costs to return the old and send the new one. It's a $40 kettle, what are the chances that two way shipping costs are going to be less than that? I'm off to buy a kettle that works, and it certainly won't be one made by Hamilton Beach.

Leaked profusely on first use. Potential hazard!

Reviewed in Canada on April 17, 2018

Style: Glass Kettle - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase

Wiped down the inside with paper towel and started a boil with water and vinegar to clean it. Within five minutes of the first use it was leaking everywhere including into its own base, near the heating element. Seems like it would potentially be a hazard if water breaches the ring around it or falls in upon moving it. I usually like Hamilton Beach products, I'm extremely disappointed.
