Hamilton Beach 1.7 L Glass Electric Kettle for Tea and Water, Cordless, Clear

Product Description:

The Hamilton Beach 1.7 Liter Glass Electric Kettle (40865) is a fast, safe, and beautifully simple way to boil water for tea, French press coffee, hot cocoa, instant oatmeal, ramen, and any recipe that calls for boiling water. With 1500 watts of heating power, this kettle brings up to 1.7 liters (approximately 7 cups) of water to a rolling boil in just 1 to 2 minutes — significantly faster than a microwave and far more convenient than a stovetop kettle that demands your attention.

The crystal-clear borosilicate glass body lets you monitor water levels and heating progress at a glance, while a soft blue LED illumination ring glows whenever the kettle is actively heating — a visual cue that's both functional and elegant. The transparent glass paired with brushed stainless steel accents on the base, handle, and lid creates a modern, kitchen-countertop-worthy aesthetic that looks far more premium than its price point suggests.

Safety is built into every use. Automatic shutoff turns the kettle off the moment water reaches a full boil, so you can walk away and attend to other things without worry. Boil-dry protection prevents the heating element from scorching if the water level drops too low — a critical safeguard against damage and potential hazards. Together, these two features make the Hamilton Beach glass kettle measurably safer than a stovetop kettle that will boil indefinitely until you manually remove it from the heat.

The cordless design means the kettle lifts completely off its 360-degree rotating base for convenient, cord-free serving at the table, countertop, or anywhere you need hot water. The 360-degree swivel base allows you to pick up and replace the kettle from any angle — no aligning needed. A built-in removable mesh filter sits in the spout, catching mineral scale and sediment before they reach your cup for a cleaner pour every time. The filter removes easily for quick rinsing under the tap. The wide opening at the top makes it easy to reach inside for thorough cleaning, and the simple on/off switch provides no-fuss operation with zero learning curve. Water level markings on the glass body (0.5L to MAX) let you fill exactly the amount you need without overfilling.
