Hamilton Beach Electric Tea Kettle

3.8

5 sourcesall derived$34.95as of Aug 31

The Hamilton Beach Cool Touch Tea Kettle offers fast heating performance, taking just 2.5 minutes to boil 16 ounces of water. Reviewers praised its stainless steel construction with no exposed plastic, automatic shut-off features, and 30-minute keep-warm cycle.

How they stack up

All-Clad Stainless Steel Electric Kettle

The All-Clad Stainless Steel Electric Kettle features an intuitive touchscreen display and 9 temperature settings, a feature not found in the Fellow Clyde which lacks variable temperature control.

Hamilton Beach Electric Tea Kettle

The Hamilton Beach Electric Tea Kettle provides a cool-touch exterior and automatic shut-off functionality, features not found in the Fellow Clyde which lacks variable temperature control. However, unlike the Fellow Corvo EKG that offers precise temperature control and a 60-minute temperature hold, the Hamilton Beach kettle lacks temperature control and has a plastic pour spout despite its stainless steel construction.
