An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I have the Phillips 5000 series kettle.
Having it stainless steel inside is important to me because of microplastics. I didn't want any plastics where the water makes contact.
Have had it for over 6 months now and have had no issues. Just need to descale every so often, and not pour too aggressively.
Ahhhh microplastics! I'd not even thought of that thanks
Can't speak to any specific models but the stainless double walled ones will also stay hot for way longer. I could go all morning off my old one with just turning it on once. My housemates got a plastic one when it broke and that thing sucks ass by comparison.
Yeah, this one is double walled, and I love it. Haven't paid attention to the length of time it keeps warm because I only boil what I need.
I used to have plastic, and it was alright, but just wanted one without plastic.
