Hamilton Beach Glass Electric Kettle, Tea & Water Kettle with LED Light Ring, 1.7L

I never gave an electric kettle a single thought. But when my sister moved in with us for a while and brought her electric kettle with her, I wondered " what do you need that thing?". After 2 days of her electric kettle in my kitchen, I fell in love with the convenience of this electric kettle. It boils water in less than 2 minutes (bye bye traditional tea kettle!) and makes boiling water a snap--I can't believe how fast this kettle is! On winter mornings, my husband and I like to pre-heat our coffee mugs with hot water before filling them and this kettle works great for this purpose. Also, we always add a little warm water to our dog's dry dog food and we used to run the tap until it the water warmed, wasting water and time. Now, by the time we pour the dog food into the bowl, the hot water is heated and ready to pour. The blue lights in the base of the unit glow beautifully and is rather visually captivating. And with a glass kettle, you can watch the water as it progresses to boiling. It shuts off automatically once the water fully comes to a boil but you can lift the kettle off the base anytime if you just need hot, but not boiling water. There are so many uses for this kettle that I don't think we'll ever find ourselves without one from now on!

Bought this for my sister who does a lot of canning and me living in England where everyone has a kettle for boiling water, I wanted her to have one. She loves it and uses it every day. Walmart let me use PayPal to check out so I was able to pay for it on my end and have it sent to her. She can't fault it in its use and I can't fault the price.
