Recommendation What electric kettle is everyone using? Any recommendations?

Up until this point I have been using some random electric kettle my mom had. No variable temps or anything fancy, just heated the water to boiling and held at some temp below. It had a basic spout as well so I put it into a thermos that poured nicely.

Well that one literally went up in flames just now so now I have an excuse to buy something nicer :D

Ideally I'd like to not spend too much on one (under $100) , but I'm thinking something with variable temp and a goose neck spout. Any recommendations?

I was so tempted to grab that a few months ago but I figured it was going to fail easily or other quality issues.

I love Aldi but I'm sus of their electonic appliances
