Electric kettle recommendations?

Recipe,

I have a basic Oster electric kettle. It has a light that displays when it's on and turns off automatically. No temp control. It's stainless steel. Just boils water and turns off. Easy open push button lid. Can't imagine it cost more than $30 to $40 about ten years ago. The closest thing to it these days is this model from Hamilton-Beach:



It's very basic. Wirecutter likes it, too.

Wirecutter likes this model form Cuisinart:



This is America's Test Kitchen's favorite:



This is another of their favorites:



In looking at all of the above, if I had to replace my Oster, I'd get the Hamilton-Beach. All I need is to boil water as necessary. No temp control. No gee-whiz features. I just want a kettle to make hot water and let me dispense it easily and safely.

Very helpful, thanks! I forgot about Wirecutter. I only have those same basic needs, too. Just boil and maybe hold a little. I am just gunshy because my last two have failed so quickly.

Wife got a glass one as well, auto shutoff, led, etc. works fine.

I have that one, too - I really like it. Price has gone up 25% since I bought mine two years ago - yikes!

It's not electric, but I've really come to appreciate the goose neck on the Hario V60 Buono stovetop model we purchased... 8 years ago according to amazon. Looks like there is a an electric model as well.

I like the electric version, but it’s a bit too small. Thanks!

The one I'm using has been running just fine for 10 years - Hamilton Beach model k24

I don't see it anywhere, but this is the latest version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CF97M7T/ref...0ZPN3O2I_0

it has a 1.7l capacity - there's another one with just 1l capacity that's only $25

1.7 is what I’m looking for. Ouch, they all seem to ship in 1-2 months! It sounds like Kalorik is going to give me a new one, but I have to ship mine back first - that’s going to take time and also money. I would buy another one in the meantime, but not one that will take that long to get here!

This is what Baby Buzz got for Mrs. Buzz after our old plastic one ceased to function properly.



Chefman seems to have variety of models, but I'm otherwise clueless about electric kettles.
Baby Buzz was proud of his purchase, and its hot tea making ability.

I have that one as well. I have to say I preferred my old Breville - my fat thumb keeps pressing "keep warm" by mistake so the kettle never really goes off.

Had two of these bodum kettles for a decade. No problems. And not breakable.
