I mean, is one electric kettle any better than another?
Yes. We've just got rid of a Bosch one (https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9311192) - bad pourer (to the point that whatever mug you were using was always sitting in a puddle), and the lid failed closed after less than two years of use. Previously we'd got about 6 or 7 years each out of two Philips ones, bought because they were double wall so a bit cooler on the outside: switches failed on those.
Just gone to a Russell Hobbs Luna (https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7249046) and although the 'quiet boil' boast is overblown, it pours better than either the Philips or Bosch ones did.

Does that actually exist? I mean, is one electric kettle any better than another? I'm sure we've all seen dirt cheap kettles in workshops/offices that have been used 30 times daily for decades. FWIW we've had no problem with this in the roughly 6 years we've used it. Living in a hard water area, the integrated filter is useful especially since I can transfer filtered water from it to my espresso machine.
