In which case we have a Bosch TWK4P439GB (which is currently reduced to £29 at Euronics) which has served us very well so far, Mum's previous Bosch lasted until someone left a pan on the on switch causing it to boil dry and then fuse.

It's well built although not user serviceable, the contact on the base is more robust than the likes of Russell Hobbs which we've had (and had problems with) previously.

If you have an induction hob a stovetop kettle is pretty much your best option, same cost to boil but literally nothing to go wrong with it (except the whistle I suppose).

I used to use owl (so so so good) until they went defunct and were resurrected as some crappy bastardized brand. Bought a cheapo cam from Amazon during prime day (Rove R2-4K Dash Cam Built in WiFi... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074JT3698?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and it has already paid for itself (x4) with one incident where a woman threw her door open in front of my car. Sometimes all you need is something that gets the job done.

While I agree a stove top is your best bet, I also have a simple stainless steel Farberware electric kettle that I bought 10 years ago and have had zero issues with it. It‘s nothing fancy, but it does the job. Little switch is blue while it‘s boiling, then auto turns-off once it‘s done. Keeps water hot for a couple hours after.

UK,

I second DE razors

I was just going to say this as well. Basically veneer doesn’t equal bad. But if you’ve got kids and are going to hit it with sledgehammers or something, I don’t know 🤣 Edit: added veneer

That’s too bad. BTW there is very expensive furniture, including antique furniture, that uses veneer.

I can recommend the Panasonic ER-1421. The trimmer is built very modular, every part can be accessed and replaced easily. I bought one 2 years ago and plan to keep this one alive till I run out of juice myself!

Beard Trimmers don't give a Proper clean shave.

​

I recomment Using Blades, but not those disposable multi Blade Razors.

​

Try a good Shaving foam/Shaving Gel combined with a one-blade open Razorknife.

Like your Hairstylist uses. It Irritates the Skin a lot less than those Wilkinson shavers.

​

takes some time to get used to it but it is the best shaving you can have.

All Clad stove top is beautiful and life proof.

I dis not even know it had an app, always just use sd card

2nd this. Also zero problems with battery cutoff per other redditor comments. Purchased 2021

Are there any wireless ones that we can recharge every night?

Dorco blades are legit

Thanks to everyone for the info. Will do some research with all the makes mentioned and go from there.

I got the viofo a119, one front and one back. Works great so far.

I was pretty surprised when the wahl peanut I bought broke after a few months

Thank you!

Depending on your style (in no particular order) and if you want a whistler or not.

1. Alessi
2. Demeyere
3. Richmond Kettle company (I mean, wow, I you can swing that, this is the BIFL answer it’s a work of art)
4. Takasaki

I opted for the Demeyere, it was on sale last year at way too good of a price to pass up. It’s 18/8 stainless steel, should last several lifetimes.

There are also a ton of vintage options if that’s your thing. I’m just less familiar with those.

I’m in the market for a stovetop kettle. Do you recommend any in particular?

I have this and always just take the sd card to my computer. It really doesn’t do well on the phone app

I understood what you were looking for.

Wahl peanut is an excellent recommendation.
