Portable Electric Hot Water Kettle

Coming from the 1L Hamilton Beach model, this is a slight downgrade. As mentioned in my title, it's the little things. OK, both are likely Made in China, but the H.B. one is a better design. For one, this one feels not as durable. The H.B. one, there was a positive, solid feedback, placing the kettle back onto the base. This one gives no feedback, but yeah, it's on there. Then, the lid does not open a full 90 degrees, whereas the H.B., popped right up to a 90-degree angle for ease of filling. Speaking of, this one feels like it doesn't have a powerful lid spring. I was miffed at H.B. for increasing the price of their 1L model so much. I remember buying that one in 2020 for $12, and now it's almost 3x the price. However, one time using this Amazon one, and I wish I spent the extra $10 on the older, better H.B. one. I'm sure I'll get used to this one and use it for a couple of years but I'll be thinking about my old kettle fondly. Oh yeah, that one started leaking btw, hence buying this one.
