Lakeland Pearlescent Kettle has anyone got this? Would you recommend it?

Our old kettle is on its last legs and have been thinking about getting a glass kettle, this Lakeland one looks lovely!
There are only 2 reviews though one of which says it is difficult to open the lid.
So just wondered if anyone on here has one and what’s it like.
Thanks 😊

Here it is

MIL had it. It looked grubby, cloudy and scaley all the time. Worked fine as a kettle, it heated water! But the transparent jug turned out to be an eyesore after a few uses.

Ok thank you, that’s very helpful!

We had one like that and it was fine, always looked clean, but we have very soft water so no scale buildup.

Very useful comments, thank you both. We have soft water so hopefully the grubbiness shouldn’t be too much of a problem. I have read they can look awful in hard water areas.

Were there any problems with the lid? Or weight? Being glass I was wondering if it might be heavy to lift when full.
