We were so pleased with this kettle, because it was very cheap, simple style, white, pours without dripping, boils fast (when connected to a socket that works!). One can pay three times as much for one of those fancy kettles, but hot water is hot water.
Husband has a lovely coffee-making machine I bought him one Christmas, and he gets different flavours in what he calls 'cartouches'. I don't like coffee at all, but we both adore tea.
Years and years ago in the early fifties, my parents bought a vacuum cleaner and proudly cleaned our carpets for decades with it. It kept working and never let them down. I don't know if modern vacuum cleaners would last that long!
