France here, and by gosh, I'll have one by monday! (or very soon, I might still be up in paint and walls monday).
First, I've had it with waiting more than 3 min for my tea, and since 85% of our meals starts and end with pasta, that will at least cut the waiting time by half.
I just need to find where I put my electric kettle research, not easy finding one that won't be too loud or too short a cord or what have you!
