Do glass kettles get really limescaley?

I know it depends how hard your water is......but in general????

We don’t live in a particularly hard water area but ours does. Saying that i don’t think it’s the glass kettle itself, more that you can see it. We just buy the descaler sachets and pop one in when we feel the need.

Ours did, but I still loved it. Didn't get another though 😁

Our metal one does, so I don't see why a glass one wouldn't.

Depends where you live. In my area it would get horrible. My father had one though and his was always sparkling because he lived in a soft water area.

Ours looks grotty all the time-it’s just more visible
We do live in a very hard water area tho

Every one I have ever seen that is not brand new, has some limescale.

Often not a lot, but I think even a bit looks yucky, makes me think it isn't clean, even though I know it is.

I think you'd have to live in a very soft water area for it not to

Mine did in a soft water area. Wouldn't have a glass one again because of that.

We use Brita filtered water in ours and if we're being properly houseproud and to keep the bottom of the kettle shiny and nice we would change the water filter and descale the kettle once a month. The actual kettle glass doesn't get scale marks on it.
