My current water kettle leaks more by the day. It is mostly stainless steel, but the few plastic parts are corroded and lead to leaking.

Do you have recommendations for fully stainless steel or similar kettles that are basically not able to break?

I was looking at this: https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/xiaomi-wasserkocher-170-l-wasserkocher-23599517

But I don't really trust xiaomi to make quality consumer products

I've got a steel Electrolux kettle (Model EEWA7700) that's lasted me 5 years of heavy use. Best part is it has a selectable temperature range from 40-100°C that's decently accurate too. Drink a lot of tea and fresh ground specialty coffee so the temperature control/display was a nice feature in my case.
