Need to replace it before it dies as being without a kettle is inhumane
I got one with a massive reservoir on the back, but only boils one cup at a time.
I think it’s great, less electricity, fewer refills, press the button and it’ll pour out the water for me when it boils.
Wouldn’t go back to a regular kettle now.
Would be less useful if making multiple drinks at the same time though.
Buy a metal hull one anyway. The fear of micro plastics and the issues they cause in the world and in your body are probably not worth it. Holy crap. I just saw the price of Smeg kettles. 😱
Bought a Dualit Architect last year because it was on offer at Costco (UK). It’s really good and pours with a laminar flow, made in the UK, but kinda expensive.
My VonShef kettle is a good mix of firm plastic handle with keep-warm and temperature settings built in, and robust metal hull.
It’s survived 5 different moves and going strong 10 years.
This is not the exact model, but it’s similar to this:

If you brew coffee and/or green tea, one with an adjustable thermostat and a keep hot function. Otherwise the cheapest and most powerful one. Gooseneck is nice too.

Maybe gives you some ideas though. I prefer to stay away from plastic ones and ones with dials and other bells and whistles
American that has visited and worked in the UK here, if that qualifies me lol - I love my OXO goose kettle.
