Looking For Tea Kettle Advice...

My trusty $19 special from Walmart a plastic kettle that heated up my tea water on demand died. I am now using my tiny travel $9 special and it's not really getting the job done. So I have been looking at investing in a better kettle one I hope will last longer then one year.

 I would love to have your feed back. I also do have a lovely stove top kettle I can use in a pinch but I am leaning towards getting another counter top type. What is holding me back is the prices of the ones that I have been looking at on line and in store. I am really wondering if I will taste the difference in the more expensive brands.

At the top end of my wish list is an almost $200 Breville, this one lets you choose the temperature of the water, turns off if it runs out of water and it will keep water at the perfect temp for 20 mins, but the draw back is it too only has a one year warranty...

At $140 the Cuisinart has a 6 temperature choice, holds water hot for 30 mins and automatic shut off but what I like is it has a 3 year warranty.

The other style I was looking at was this one, it is glass, which looks great but is it practical? I am not sure. It also has only a one year warranty and one temp setting and is around $70.

All in all I am stumped, I do use the kettle twice a day minimum, so having it last only a year for $20 is not really a big deal but I wonder if it is better to pay more for one that will potentially last longer and if I am believing the marketing, make my tea taste better....
