I was a bit fed up with kettles conking out that I decided a cheap one would offer better value I settled on an Asda George Black I reckon it is now 6-8 years old cost me under a tenner (now £13).  The big plus for me was it was 3,000 watts output so a fast boil.  Can't get much better than that, especially since everyone is working from home it must be used 10+ times a day.

The Asda George kettle is legendary.  Cheaper than most kettles, better than most kettles.

" Yes, a kettle should last more than 12 months."

It did more than 4 times that amount.

Did it? Since when is 54 weeks over 4 times more than 12 months?

It was purchased 54 weeks ago, not 54 months ago.

54/52 = 1.038461538461538
