My current water kettle leaks more by the day. It is mostly stainless steel, but the few plastic parts are corroded and lead to leaking.

Do you have recommendations for fully stainless steel or similar kettles that are basically not able to break?

I was looking at this: https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/xiaomi-wasserkocher-170-l-wasserkocher-23599517

But I don’t really trust xiaomi to make quality consumer products

      169$ is pretty steep… Also it has too much electronics for a kettle imho

        I didn’t get the one with Bluetooth or WiFi or whatever. Just turn it on and set temp. But yea it isn’t the cheapest.

      I got one of these for free on a trashnothing Facebook group in my city. Someone was giving it away because it didn’t heat anymore. I popped it open and replaced the thermal diode. I’ve had to do that twice now. Great kettle for all types of teas and pour over coffee, but they should really make them more robust if they’re just expecting most people to toss it when a small inexpensive part goes bad.

      Have a couple of these and the buttons are inconsistent. Can take multiple presses to turn on, apparently a common issue with no fix. I still like them since it’s a pretty minor fault, but worth knowing before buying
