We’ve always had an electric kettle. I honestly don’t know how you’re supposed to boil water with out one. You get out a pan and fill it with water and turn on the stove every time you want tea or coffee? What the fuck?
Honestly, I've used both extensively, and I prefer the stove top ones over rhe electric ones.
They are more durable, easier to wash (can be dishwashed), cheaper, essentially just as quick and easy to use.
The main downside is that they don't turn off automatically, but for my use, I don't find that important. The speed and efficiency gain doesn't matter much to me either. I'm never waiting around on the kettle.
I took "wash" to mean "clean." Yeah, I mean I don't personally put my kettle in the dishwasher. I hand-wash. I was just giving OP reasons why someone would want to clean their kettle even if they just boil water in it. If some were so inclined, they might throw it in the dishwasher. I wouldn't though.
you can't get mould in a kettle all that goes in it is water the only thing that makes sense is hard water deposits but that's not cleaning that's descaling and that's not something you have to do often
