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.

How about a well insulated electric kettle with a keep hot function?
I don’t think I’d get a stove top kettle as it would be too much of a novelty to the young kids. Boiling water making a fun whistling noise at face height? No thank you.
