I have an electric kettle from when I was growing up (50+ years old now, still use it in my camper) and a larger kettle on my kitchen counter. I've bought 2 units, covering about 30 years continuous use. It's something that's used at least twice a day, every day (tea morning and night ~ the smell of coffee makes me want to puke).
I use it to heat water for cooking too, soups, pasta, broths, whatever takes hot/boiling water is done in the kettle as it's plain and simple Faster. While the 220 kettles overseas are nice, 2 minutes isn't exactly a big deal in heating time. I'm usually doing Other things, and I do green tea in the morning so only need 160~170.
