Our old Russell Hobbs started leaking after 10 years of faithful stylish service. We bought the breville cafe series first which was lovely but stopped working after a couple of months. It was replaced by Fenwick but that one stopped after a couple of weeks! Anyway we choose this kettle because it has one handed lid opening, metal interior as well as exterior, not too much window ( to leak / get scaled up) and reasonable access to put the water in. This combination of features is remarkably hard to find! It works fine so far but like most modern kettles it is noisey also water can bypass the filter in the spout.
Happy enough though until it breaks ....
