To each their own, but I hated electric kettles.
I want boiling water not "hot", the whistle is a good reminder it's time to brew up etc ... And if I'm away from the kitchen it's usually to deal with a fight.
My primary age kids were bored with it after the first whistle and have never shown an interest in playing near the hob because we taught them that it can be dangerous. We had more risky situations with the electric kettle being grabbed.
Two kids, no choice.
