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

A gas/conventional electric stovetop kettle is worse in almost every measurable way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yMMTVVJI4c

I wasn't aware that gas is so much worse. Thanks, I learned something :). Regarding induction, I suppose it only makes sense when you have a high-powered three-phase one.

Even a plugin induction burner is probably quicker but less convenient

In the US, plug in appliances can pull 15a @120v. For an actual stove, the burner power depend on the model, but a stove circuit supports 50a@240v. Much. Much. More power

Nah, just caved to changing it based on your nitpick. Induction cooktops represent such a low margin of the populations cooking needs that I didn't feel the prior need to be so specific. Common mistake with the internet I guess. 🤷‍♂️
