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

    Dumb waterkettle

    We have this model at home and it serves well. It’s a simple waterkettle without any app support. It simply boils water.

    I personally would not recommend any “smart” kitchen appliances. It may be nice that you can control your waterkettle remotely with an app, but does the app refill your kettle? I don’t see any advantages in that. With app support, it probably collects unneccessary data and establishes a user profile with your water cooking behavior. Will it still boil water for you, when your internet connection is not working properly? What will happen, when the manufacturor shuts down his servers? Or the app will not work on newer smartphones? Or your smartphone is too old for the app?
