I had one by Chantal for years which lasted me a while. When it eventually started to rust and I went to replace it, I was a little in shock at the prices.

For a little bit more, I could get myself a Keurig and that's actually what I did. I put the tea bag in the my K-cup and use it that way.

I got one with a 2 oz shot option which is perfect for mixing instant oatmeal too. Just an idea if you don't find any kettles you like for a good price.

I had a Hamilton Beach, which worked fine, but then I bought a Pioneer Woman because I thought it would be pretty on my kitchen counter. It's the same design as the HB, just dressed up, and works fine as well. The original HB got passed along to one of our kids who uses it often.

I use a lovely ceramic electric kettle by Bella. I've replaced it once but that was after ten years of use. Boils my tea water beautifully and I use it for ramen noodles, instant oatmeal and other stuff needing boiling water.

It looks great on the countertop.

They're sold on Amazon.

I've had two kettles that I like a lot. Both are under $30. Just depends on how you want to use. There are more expensive ones, these are on the low end.

The first is a small one I used for when I travelled for work. Not every place had a microwave for me to make my own coffee, so I would pack this little one in my suitcase and it worked like a charm.

I liked it so much that I ordered a larger one for my house for when I want to make iced tea.

@feline groovy not silly at all to enjoy the lighted features!

I've been eyeing a few on WS and want a lit model, too. I tend to fumble around the kitchen in the early am and some soft lighting without glaring overhead lights would be great.

@Mom in NY

After spending almost an hour going through ALL the electric kettles on Amazon, I went back to the $19.xx ones which I have at both houses. They do last !

My preference is to have a separate base from the kettle.

After a few uses, I take a long handled brush and swish it around the bottom to get rid of calcium build up from the well water. Or, if in a hurry, use a little white vinegar to cover the bottom to loosen any buildup and rinse it out.

We've had an OXO electric kettle for at least 5 years. It's mostly clear glass and detaches from the black power base for ease of use. It was pricey, I think about $120, so I bought a backup when I saw one on Zulily for $75. The original's still going strong and the backup's never been out of the box. We use it 3 or 4 times a day and it still works as well as the day we got it. It's one of the few appliances that's always on the counter in our galley kitchen.
