Well you think it hasn't... just don't turn your back on it.
We've just bought a kettle. Our old one was extremely noisy and we tried to find one that had reviews saying it was quiet. The manufacturers don't seem to put a noise rating on their descriptions. In the end we got one to match our toaster. Was supposed to be a quieter model, but seems just as noisy.

Go for it! You can use the money you saved on not buying a League 2 BCFC season ticket!!But I don't want something that just boils water. I want a well engineered and aesthetically pleasing device that does the same.
I think I saw the Bosch in JL and I think I'll go for it.

The economics of which are utterly laughable
Having said that, the economics of buying a kettle that costs more than £20 are utterly laughable too

I had my Morphy Richards about 7 years until it simply got too grubby inside. Just because somehthing is cheap doesnt mean its rubbish.
Cant really see how a £100 kettle can boil water any better than a £30 kettle, maybe its just me.

We've had our (at the time silly expensive) Porsche Siemens kettle for these many donkeys* years. Can't kill it, although it's just started to want to have a quick re-boil before its thermo cutout makes a positive click off.I had my Morphy Richards about 7 years until it simply got too grubby inside. Just because somehthing is cheap doesnt mean its rubbish.

*I reckon a donkey is about a year, and it's at least 15 of them.

That's cos they're not better. You're paying for the design and the brand name. The basic workings of a kettle are beyond simple. That's fine, but anyone buying a £100 kettle and trying to claim it's somehow "better" is talking nonsense. It may be nicer, prettier, more aspirational...but not better

I like glass or stainless steel ones as some of the plastic ones are known to leech nasty chemicals.

You prompted me to have a look inside my kettle (unsurprisingly I haven't before). The inside seems to be a hard plastic of some sort. Can you provide a link to this leaching please? I would be amazed if a kettle can be CE marked with such a serious issue

Think it’s the same stuff that some water bottles contain? Is it BPA or something. Will need to double check.
