Which do you prefer? How it looks or what it does?

Inspired from buying a kettle. It looks great, which added a premium, but still only boils water, obviously.

Poll coming.

I've had really expensive designer kettles, mid range kettles, and really cheap ones. They all seems to break on me fairly quickly so I will no longer buy expensive ones.

If it looks great, but performs the same as any other, I am all for it. But if it breaks before average looking ones then that's bad. I like stuff to look nice without paying too much of a premium.

Too many variables, if they both do the same job but one is more pleasing on the eye I'd probably get that. if one looked good but was sub-standard, I'd get the one that worked better.

Exactly this. Our expensive-but-looks-nice kettle started leaking last week and has now been replaced by a much cheaper one.

Awesome anecdote, etc.

I wish they wouldn't laugh
