The Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel Electric Kettle has 1500 watts to boil up to 1.7 liters of water faster than a microwave and safer than a stovetop. You'll love the convenience of making a quick cup of tea, instant coffee, French press or hot cocoa without the wait. It's perfect for hectic mornings or anytime you need to quickly boil water to make a bowl of ramen noodles or instant oatmeal. The automatic shutoff feature with boil-dry protection provides peace of mind and keeps the kettle from scorching if the water gets too low. Boiling and heating water is easy with the simple on/off switch on the back, and the attractive blue indicator light on the front illuminates when the power is on. Designed with durable stainless steel and a BPA-free interior, so you don't have to worry about chemicals getting into your cup. Convenient cord-free serving lets you lift the kettle off the base to serve hot water at the tabletop or anywhere you're serving hot beverages.
