I bought a new kettle a few weeks back and it has ALREADY broken! Which means I have to buy yet another one (have bought at least 4 this year so far). Ok, so I did buy a cheap one from Poundstrecther, but still.

How much did you pay for your kettle and how long has it lasted? It seems to me that the new cordless ones are rubbish - when I used to have one with a cord on, it lasted for years!

My £4.50 Tesco one is doing well. My parents' £40 stainless steel Morphy Richards one has been replaced twice. I agree about the cordless thing, the ones with cords lasted much longer.

Is it one of the 'Tesco Value' ones? I've heard that cheaper kettles arent as good as the electrics in them are poorly made.

I bought a new one from Argos - should have been 9.99 but was reduced to 6.60

Now I hope this one lasts.

My Russell Hobbs cordless kettle wasn't very expensive (can't remember how much exactly) and I've had it about five years.

I paid £40 for my kettle - it's a Morphy Richards. I didn't pay for the quality; it was just for the colour

Coffee machine ads on TV are getting as bad as toy ads... there are so many different coffee machines and they seem to be on TV every other ad break... nearly as bad as DFS or that stupid M&S food woman

I agree that cordless kettles do not last long. I've had several. At the moment I am using a Marks and Spencer one I bought for £10 about a year ago.

I go through irons and vacuum cleaners very fast. i am on about one steam iron per year at the moment.

Oh and vacuum cleaners, I had to buy a new one of those last week too.

I told you so. I've had mine almost a year and now have no need for a kettle. No one can make tea as good as this.
