Not sure if the boiling water weakens the glass's integrity or not, but I've broken two of these glass ones. Plastic is outright. Have had a full-metal interior electric kettle since it got cold this season and it's fantastic.
Edit: The gooseneck ones as in OP's post are overpriced imho.
I much prefer this kind of kettle, because I can see the damn water instead of having to peek at a small crack of transparent plastic. Plus glass kettles are quieter, metal ones really liven up the whole apartment with the noise.
Kettle pros know how much is in there by how heavy it feels.
And no chance that anything plastic additives dissolves in the hot water.
Yes that is a kettle an electric hot water Tingo
