Electric Kettle on Sale

Happy Deal with Hamilton Beach 40898 Cool-Touch Cordless 8 Cup Electric Kettle We've been using this kettle daily for well over a year and like many others, I have nothing but good things to say.
--Graceful lines, looks great on the countertop.
--Seamless stainless steel inside and out with no plastic immersed in boiling water.
--Smooth interior and flat bottom with no exposed heating element.
--Boils water fast and shuts off right at a rolling boil.
--Extra cord coils neatly inside a groove in the base.
--Not outrageously expensive (especially compared to other nice looking kettles, cheap ones are generally UGLY).



If I had to find something to criticize... here are some things that others might find to be shortcomings:
-- Water capacity is not as great as the kettle's size would suggest. Not a problem for me, but the "max" line is just about 2/3 full. When they say "8 cup" I think they are measuring cups like coffee makers. It'll fill an 8-cup french press with several ounces of water to spare- just enough hot water left over to pre-heat your thermos or make a bowl of instant oatmeal!
--Not particularly good for heating liquids other than water. I used it to heat chicken stock a few days ago, didn't watch it closely and it boiled over something fierce. The overflowing stock went down the steam vent behind the handle and soaked the base. Not fun to clean up. I'm not sure any other kettle would have been a whole lot better in this respect...
--Base contacts wear after a while. I sometimes have to rotate the kettle on the base to get it to make contact. Been doing it for months and does not seem to get better or worse. No Need to Compare Prices Again, We Compare and Choose Low Prices to offer You Here!
