I bought a store brand 9A kettle and it's fine [1]. They're simple products and shouldn't break unless you have very hard water, in which case a round of vinegar should clean that. What are you running into?

In the US, kettles are carefully designed to last one year and no more. Same for a $20 or $100 unit.

I have not discovered a way to find one that is not so designed. Regular reviews are useless.
