@gsuberland@chaos.social I did have one temperature-controlled kettle that failed within 3 years. I replaced it with another (the Blokker one), and although it did experience a problem after some 3.5 years, it wasn't in any way related to the temperature control - it was rusting around the spout.
I don't know, I'm not really convinced that they're particularly more prone to failure on a fundamental level. Temperature control isn't *that* complex either.
@gsuberland@chaos.social (On a related note, the Blokker kettle is literally available on AliExpress, just without the Blokker logo and packaging (and possibly with less QC). So it's not like they did some major engineering effort to produce a high-quality product.)
