I need a beautiful electric kettle that will last a lifetime. Any recommendations? I'm willing to pay quite a bit.

So either they’re ridiculously slow to heat up, or they’re a total waste of money to keep water hot when you’re not using it.

Yes, no. It takes about 10-15 mins maybe to boil, and then since it's very well insulated it takes barely any energy to maintain. Probably less than if you're boiling water fresh 3-5 times a day.

Also, is it hot, or boiling? The former is truly horrific for tea making

It's adjustable.
