You may be interested in the Wirecutter review. Specifically, I found this tidbit enlightening:
"Unfortunately, the longevity of electric kettles can be unreliable across the board. We sent kettles to the Ohio State University metallurgy department, and researchers took them apart to study their components.

Based on their initial observations, as well as information from an OXO representative, we suspect that nearly all of the kettles we’ve tested use the same circuitry and temperature controls — most likely produced by a company called Strix. Pricier kettles don’t necessarily have more-durable electronics — you’re paying for looks, construction, and fancier features."
