They take longer to boil here and longer still at high altitudes! Even so, it's faster than a stovetop. I love my kettle and use it *daily...

My main issue is that it gets entrusted with hard water residue (even though I have a water softener), so I need to clean it out periodically. I'm also at a high altitude (~4k ft/>1km).

That said, I still use it regularly, now that we have one. But I didn't have a kettle for years because we just don't drink much tea.
