I caught DH making love to our kettle

Obviously this is clickbait. Sorry.

Can anyone recommend a really durable electric kettle?

In the last five/six years or so we've had a breville and a Russell and Hobbs, both of which have started leaking. Surely kettles should last longer than that!

I love my Bosch.

Omg a Dualit beyond a shadow of a doubt!!
Ours has been going strong for 15 years and is still fab. Such a good investment. We got the matching toaster at the same time too and it’s also still brilliant.
Would definitely recommend!!

I always had the same problem. I stopped buying plastic kettles, it’s always those ones that leak. I stick to metal or glass now and no problems at all. Just make sure to descale frequently

We went through so many kettles in such a short space of time we bought a stove top one that sits on the gas hob

Dualit for sure. Our Dualit kettle and toaster are still going strong after 12 years.

Be sure to use a limescale remover regularly.

I used to buy expensive kettles, but got fed up with them breaking. This annoyed me, because I'd have to replace the matching kettle and toaster set. Now I just buy a cheap white kettle and toaster, and replace every 12 months. I find the limescale gets bad in all kettles, by 12 months anyway.

I've always bought cheapish kettles. I've never outlived a kettle. I've only ever changed kettles when moving and thinking 'I'll spend another £20 on a kettle when I get to the new place'

Clearly you need a steamy one

Dualit (their Classic kettle is repairable) or a bit better for the environment a Breville One Cup to save energy unless you are only boiling what you need every time already

Ffs. I settled down with a beer to read this.

He clutched her tightly intend of flipping her switch. With sweaty brow and thirsty pursuit...he whispered "I burn for you; you make me boil". He thrust himself into the pool of...limescale swirling water...before his wife burst in screaming "Damn you, the warranty is void now, Dave, and you have second degree blisters". 😁Happy bank holiday everyone. I swear by my light-up Russell Hobbs kettle...or Russell Knobs as I may rename it now.

Asda kettle

This headline gave me all types of mental images, lol.

Buy the cheapest and it’s doesn’t matter then. You might get lucky with a long lasting one.

Agreed. My water is very soft and I’ve only had to replace my kettle once in 15 years, and tbh it was the outer enamel that was flaking.

Mum lives down south and the water is gross and hard, she seems to go through kettles much quicker.

Same Dualit for twelve years ….

I've had my cream Swan cordless for 14 years and it's still immaculate used a LOT and very quiet in use. I only fill with enough water to make the required number of drinks and descale it once a month by filling 3/4 with water and 1/2 a lemon then boiling and leaving it overnight. Put a post-it note on lid to remind me to empty and wash out a couple of times in the morning. The element is spotless. It cost £4 from Sainsbury's Liphook.

When i heard water plcs were having difficulty obtainingvwater treatment chemicals, I bought this www.planetorganic.com/products/osmio-zero-reverse-osmosis-system-black-each. Reverse osmosis gives you the purest water. It is compact and a good byy imo. I have since seen this virginpure.com/smart-home-water-system/?gclid=CjwKCAjwv-GUBhAzEiwASUMm4kR36cxdY6fkPSC9AyYun4p4TE6syv-tModSS0a6O3M2QlsMVlxDHBoCdQYQAvD_BwE not quite the same but filters the water so virtually no scaling.

My observation is if you need a pan of boiling water, it's a bit of a faff, but mine is pretty quick. Replace the thingy that does the filtering/reverse osmosis every 6 months and you're sorted!

Get a hot water tap. They're fantastic 🙂

You just gave me the best laugh of the day 🤣🤣🤣

Morphs richards I’ve only ever bought two kettles in my life!? The one I have now is 5 years and going strong.

Steamy!

We do this too. The expensive ones we bought didn't last.
