Hot water - fast
By a new yorker
To add: it does heat water quickly. Makes a neat gurgling sound like a dragon waking when you heat a full pot and a to add to the effect a squirt of steam comes out when the water is done. Switch lights up with an orange glow when you flip it down to turn on. Tested temp with a kitchen probe when flushing with clean water as the instructions recommend, each time it was 206 degrees F (which is almost perfect to brew coffee.) Construction is all (well mostly all)- stainless steel inside but there is a hole for the plastic viewing window. Must heat at least .5 liter (~2 mugs) of water min. Base is clad in plastic on exterior and cool to touch. The heating base (plug part) was covered in some kind of residue when opened, although it was easily cleaned, odd though.

Hamilton Beach Electric Kettle
By Paul
Ordered and received very promptly from Amazon.....Thank You!

I would recommend this kettle as I have had success with Hamilton Beach products.
It heats water very quickly to be used for tea, soups, hot chocolate etc.
The interior is 100% stainless. I did not want to purchase a unit that the water had contact with plastic.
Even when the water has boiled the black base is cool to the touch so you can set it on a counter or table and not worry about discoloring the surface.

Works as advertised
By Kenneth M. Malone
Other than the funky on/off switch, which I am now used to, the kettle works well. I only use filtered water so I don't have to worry about scaling. A liter takes about five minutes to heat up. I have used it everyday for over a month. Will report back with any adverse comments.

December 2011 update: This kettle is still performing well. I use it every day and it has given me no problems. Highly recommended,
