A shit £10 kettle will last 10 years, and a nice fancy one that matches the colours in the kitchen and costs £30 will last 3 years.

I assume there's some higher price bracket where the durability goes up again.

A £20 kettle that lasts ~7 years?

I doubt a shit £10 kettle will last ten years. I do believe the durability goes up at the higher prices as we use a dualit architect tower kettle which is now closing in on ten years of use.
