Wanted: a beautiful kettle which does not conk out after 12 months

[FrannyandZooey]

Here is our old kettle to give you an idea of what I think is beautiful. I really love it and it has just died but we can't buy another the same because tbh it was a bit crap. Very noisy and has not lasted at all well.

So does anyone know of nicely designed kettle that is also good quality? And doesn't cost £50 ideally, we could do without the expense atm

I know I know don't all rush at once

it is a thrilling topic but steady on

a Porsche kettle?

stone me?

is there a site on which I could view such an item, I wonder?

if it is this one I don't even like it

[sour grapes]

oh don't franny

i have spent a small fortune on blardy kettles in recent tyimes

i have been blaming the thames, but maybe tis just the fault of shite kettlemakers (unless you too have thames water)

Don't bother paying out for a Dualit one. Ours has just died after just 2 and a bit years

JL your best bet, several of their own make have 3 year guarantees and not £50 either!

i've tried the pricey ones and the cheapos, and they all die on me.

so i've just stuck to cheapo ones.

no we haven't thames water

everything we buy breaks and we don't buy cheap shit

we have tried recently to get stuff repaired and our electrician just can't do it - he has tried, but they don't design them in such a way that they can be fixed, or he can't get the parts

it is depressing and annoying

this one is quite like your old one

pruners we too have that krups one

the little lip on the lid fails to retract properly - tis a pain the backside to take off to refill

prob due to limescale build-up but we've only had it about 3 months

i have had a pink jelly bodum one for 9 years without incidentdo they still make those?. it's a bit gay mind!

Will be keeping an eye on this thread, our kettle conks out every year. We've bought cheap ones, we've bought not so cheap ones.
Maybe I just boil the kettle too often.

We bought the Magimix one, it is £70 but ours came with 3 yr guarantee, is very fast and quiet and I love it!

I rather like the idea of a gay kettle.

Pannacotta I am finding that one just a little too tall and bulbous to look perfect [kettle fraek] but the 3 year guarantee and the price on the JL ones is a winner, I think

thank you

We had the same experience as Hulababy with Dualit one, lasted around 2 years.

Avoid them -I would expect more for a £50-60 kettle

I've just ordered this.

oooh I would like this

dp has looked and said it is a choice between a birthday party for ds or that kettle

oooh pistachio yours is the prettiest of all [swoon]

comeoveneer that looks fab actually. 3 seconds! how can it do it?

Franny is that one not a tad PONCEY?!
I think the cream and chrome magimix one on the JL page is fab but it doesnt seem to come with the same guarantee as the pure chrome ones...

we've just bought the JL £30 from the link further down, looks nice, boils water quickly, good price - what more coudl you want? Actually I want a posh designer one but am on a not overspending buying fripperies drive at the moment

i want the alessi one

it has a bird whistle
