Expert opinion

I recently had the opportunity to test out the Hamilton Beach 40864 Electric Tea Kettle and I have to say, Im incredibly impressed. This electric tea kettle is fast, efficient, and extremely easy to use. Its made of stainless steel and glass construction for durability and longevity, with a 1.7 liter capacity for making tea or hot water for a group of people.

The electric tea kettle heats up quickly and efficiently thanks to its 1500 watt power base, making it much faster than a microwave and more convenient than a stovetop kettle. The electric tea kettle also has an automatic shutoff feature that engages when the water is boiling and ready to serve, making it safer than using a stovetop. Theres also a soft blue illumination light that turns on when you select your temperature setting so you know hot water is on its way. The cord free design of this electric tea kettle allows for easy serving with no extra cords getting in the way.

The Hamilton Beach 40864 Electric Tea Kettle also features an anti scale mesh filter around the lip of the kettle which ensures that your water tastes its best while also making cleaning easy. It s dishwasher safe as well as hand washable and comes with all necessary components included in the package a kettle and power base. The product dimensions are 6.25 x 8.63 x 9.88 inches and it weighs 2.88 pounds in total.

Overall, I think this electric tea kettle is great for anyone who wants an efficient way of boiling water without having to wait too long or use a stovetop perfect for busy mornings! It has safety features built in such as the automatic shutoff, making it safer than using a stovetop, while its cord free design allows you to serve easily without cords getting in the way. Additionally, this electric tea kettle is made from sturdy materials so you can be sure that it will last you quite some time before needing replacement definitely worth every penny!
