Q: How long does 1 L water stay hot?

submitted by Nan - 4 years ago
  • A: I've had mine a couple years, I'd say it stays hot for about 30 minutes, but you can just click the button to warm it up again and don't have to wait the full time for it to boil. It's a great pot. I use it almost every day.

    submitted byKarlene B - 4 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we are unable to determine the length of time the appliance will keep the water hot, as there are other factors that will contribute this rate.

It works well for the price - my only complaint is the filter doesn't actually fit and keeps falling off. Super annoying. I wouldn't buy this again - when it dies I will buy something better.

I dislike where the fill line measure window is. If I gad it to do over I’d buy one with the measure window more easily visible Otherwise it functions fine. It is a tad noisy when heating .

Do your kids ice skate? I brought this pot to the rink for skate lessons and it was a huge hit! Hot chocolate with whipped cream, and hot tea with lemons. Super easy to transport, set up and serve. Heats up super fast. Buy one today!

EGS - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
This is a medium size kettle and it's so cute!! I was hesitant because it wasn't glass but I couldn't find a decent glass kettle(2 of them at the store were used...) I am happy with my purchase. This heats up water just like it states. Esthetically it looks nice and it is very well made. Cleaning can be a bit complicated if you have bigger hands. Overall I love the ease of use and Hamilton Beach in my opinion is always the way to go!

Uzumaki - 7 months ago
Not only is the filter plastic, (which is the only plastic removable), there is also a silicone material which is unremovable, and if removed the kettle becomes unable to hold water without spilling. I've always been wondering the burnt plastic/silicone smell. The lid is also almost completely plastic. Absolutely unnecessary and hazardous.

The best way to heat water

5 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
Mom who cooks - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
This is the best way to heat water--superior to a microwave because microwaves do not heat water evenly, nor do they come to a rolling boil. If you are a tea drinker, you already know that microwaves make disgusting tea--flat with zero aromatic compounds. This electric kettle heats water fast, uses less energy than a microwave or gas or electric stove—so you save money on your electric bill over the long run. Automatic shut off so you can’t overheat it—do you ever accidentally leave your stove on while heating water and worry about starting a fire? Maybe you have concerns about your elderly grandma getting a bit forgetful…Well, get this kettle and you can relax and no worries—perfect hot water every time, then shuts off. I liked this simple kettle so much, I bought a second one—one for the kitchen and one for our finished basement to make tea without having to go upstairs.
