Le Creuset stove kettle?

[whenhenshaveteeth]

Hi, my kettle has died and I need help with its replacement.

I'm not mad about the look of electrical kettles but I do see the practicality: time!

I'm after a good looking kettle that's going to be efficient and long lasting. I like the look of Le Creuset stainless steal cone kettle but I worry that it'll take ages to boil.

I also had a look at Dualit architect kettle - not as pretty as the Le Creuset one but prettier than most electrical kettles and its matching toaster isn't bad either. My 4 slice Morphy Richards has been a 2 slice only toaster for ages and it's looking pretty shabby now so I'm looking at replacing it too. Dualit stuff is quite pricey but good quality I heard.

What do you think about both? Have you got first hand experiences?

I have a Creuset Ogive kettle which is similar to the Kone. It's about 10 years old and still going strong. I'm not bothered how long it takes to boil I just wander off and come back when it whistles!
