Right kettle for me?

I’m in the market for a new kettle, and whilst I’ve done some looking online I was hoping someone in this mass of kettle warriors might have experience with the qualities I’m looking for.

Priorities: 1.7 L capacity (could do 1.5 at a push) Low minimum fill level (500ml or less) Quiet Rapid Clear view of fill Some indication of it being switched on, like a light

Would be nice to have temp control, but not a must. I won’t say money is no object but it’s something that will get used to the moon and back so am happy to spend around 100 quid. Anybody got recommendations based on this list? Cheers

Some peoples cars cost £50. Some cost a lot more. Its nice to have nicer versions of the same thing.

Absence of plastic inside the kettle is a must for me. Sorry, I don't think that we need to be drinking water with boiled plastic in it.

This.

I switched to glass kettles years ago, my current one has glass spout and stainless steel lid.

Thanks. I might look into that one. No pun intended.

I’ve had one of the fancy Bosch kettles for about ten years and it’s been excellent. Only 1.5L capacity, but quick and low minimum level and has a temp control. There might be a newer version now though.

I have this one which does all of that. Dunno about quiet. It sounds like a boiling kettle.
