Brew the perfect cup of tea or prepare any hot beverage with the Hamilton Beach 1.7 Liter Electric Kettle. This stainless steel kettle's compact design makes it a handy accessory you won't mind showing off. Perfect for the kitchen, office, or dorm room, the Hamilton Beach Electric kettle's powerful rapid-boil system provides hot water faster than a microwave, and is safer and easier to use than a traditional stovetop kettle. No need to worry about your water boiling dry; with auto shut-off, heating stops once water is boiled. Plus, heating is convenient and safe with the concealed heating element. Compatible with any standard 120v outlet, all you need to do is fill, plug in, and pick out your favorite drink while the Hamilton Beach 1.7 Liter Electric Kettle does the rest! Serving at the table is no problem as the kettle with drip-free spout lifts right off the 360-degree rotating base without the cord.
