PRESTO 02703 White Electric Tea Kettle
 
Decent for the price.
- Pros: Boils water
Cheap
Anodized base inside - Cons: No on/off switch
No dedicated base station (read: cord is attached to unit)
Plastic side walls
Hard to clean the inside
- Other Thoughts: Draws 730 watts (+/- 10 watts) -- For a household kettle, this is kind of low. But on the plus side, it is doubtful that it will trip your circuit breaker. This is also good for use with a generator (RV or camping trips) as it won't exceed the limits of the generator.
Personally, I'm okay with the lack of on/off switch and the lack of docking base, but the plastic sidewall is a turn off. I don't like boiling water in a plastic receptacle.
As for boiling water, it takes ~8.5min to heat up 32oz (a quart) of water. That's probably faster than my camp stove, but slower than the "power" burner on my gas stove at home (~6.5min).
In comparison to my 1400-watt electric tea kettle, it can boil a quart of water in about 4.5 minutes. But it was also about $50 and has all the modern features of an electric tea kettle (docking base station, auto shut-off, etc.)
In conclusion, this is a decent tea kettle for $20-ish, but I only plan to use this on camping trips.

this kettle is not slow UNLESS you have the flash as your brother running circles around the kettle heating the water for you :/
this kettle does the job and fast - Cons: power cord a little short

Hamilton Beach 40870 Stainless Steel 10 Cup Electric Kettle
Good kettle
- Pros: Heats water very fast, faster than stovetop or microwave.
- Cons: List price a little high.
- Other Thoughts: This purchase replaced exact the same unit that lasted me about a year before it stopped working. To me, that is decent reliability for an appliance in this price range. (I got it on special for 25 bucks.)

Is the SS safe or poison???
- Pros: Low price; won't blow most dorm curcuit breakers/fuses.
- Cons: Materials not disclosed in ad/copy!
- Other Thoughts: DON'T own, but want to know before buying:
It says the plastic is BPA-free, but what about all the other bisphenol alphabet-soup of plasticizers that are just at toxic?? BPB, BPZ, and most in between!
And the stainless: Does it contain nickel, which leaches and is toxic? Rule of thumb: If a magnet won't stick to it, then it is poisonous, so don't buy it!
If you own this, please respond to these questions. Thanks!

AROMA AWK-115S Stainless Steel/Black Hot H20 X-Press Water Kettle
A fine kettle
- Pros: Heats water quickly, easy to serve, looks good
- Cons: no temperature setting.
- Other Thoughts: This is a fine kettle, and I really cannot ask for more from a kettle. If you need water exactly at 150 degrees, you won't want this. But if you intend to serve tea and don't want to waste energy with the stove or microwave, this is perfect.
