It is better not to be ashamed to ask the seller to boil water in the kettle right in the store and look at the result. And you can immediately choose a better model, albeit with a small surcharge. But then you will not have to “enjoy” drinks with the smell or (even worse) the taste of burning plastic. Leaders in terms of quality are traditionally kettles Philips, Bosch and Tefal.
