Artangel is right, buying a kettle is a minefield.
It has to "go" with the prevailing colour scheme in the kitchen and as others have said, it must not taint whatever drink you make with the boiled water.
Plus it must look good, so I am reliably informed.
Even with regular descaling they don't last long in our house - though that might change now that we have two (yes I know) pod type machines.
We've had Dualit (I agree with Longdogs - they look nice but aren't very good, unlike their toasters) and at the opposite end of the price range a Wilko stainless steel which lasted less than two years too, the same as all the others.
A certain person other than myself was tempted by a Bugatti kettle but I swerved that and our current one is a Breville New York, which was still on the pricey side but not the near £200 of the Bugatti.
I must confess that I do like the looks of the Bugatti but reviews aren't very positive.

The Breville might cost a lot for a kettle but it works, it looks good, and it fulfils the exacting brief of SWMBO.
