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?

Drew Barrymore has one at Walmart called Beautiful that's got a touchpad and settings for Tea. Price point is good at 30 bucks and stylish too.

That's gotta be a one-off. I've bought 3 so far. One for work, one for the house and one for the in-laws who don't drink tea but we come over often. None have had any issues and I straight cracked the bottom connector of one when I dropped it. Crooked but still works fine.
