The message
from "Anna Pinnion" contains these words:

We bought an el cheapo 'Cookware' kettle from Argos (£5) with the
conventional fully submerged element about 3.5 years ago.

It's still going strong!

Mum's got a Russel Hobbs non-jug kettle that must be 20 years old at
least, and it's still on the original element. Needs descaling
frequently 'cos her water comes from the North Downs chalk.
