Heat water for a variety of beverages with this Hamilton Beach 40996 1.7L kettle that features a programmable clock that lets you wake up to preheated water and temperature adjustment buttons that enable easy adjustment and accurate results.
I love this kettle! I had been researching variable temp kettles for some time, and they all were over $100 and had enough bad reviews to make me skeptical. I came across this one and for the price and free shipping it can't be beat! I especially love that I can program it to turn on at specified times so my hot water can be waiting for me in the morning (I don't like to wait for coffee....). My only complaint is that, after being unplugged, I need to reprogram the time and auto on time. Really not a big deal. I love love love this kettle! Don't yet know about the durability because I've only had it a few weeks
What's great about it: auto on setting, variable temps
What's not so great: takes a bit to program each night
