"I purchased this item to replace a Hamilton Beach glass electric kettle that I’ve owned for about 5 years. It worked well but, alas, after all this time has developed a bit of rust and so I decided to replace it.
The Pohl Schmitt kettle arrived yesterday. I can’t speak to how it’ll fare over the long-term, but I can say that it boils water quite adequately and is ascetically pleasing, perhaps even more so than my Hamilton Beach. It looks great on my countertop!"
