Assuming you’re in the US, did a quick search for “temperature control kettle” on Amazon.com. Found this: http://www.amazon.com/Ovente-KS88S-Temperature-Stainless-Electric/dp/B00RZXJOU2
Not ridiculously expensive, but it is the model with the fewest bells and whistles, only does 4 fixed temps. Not sure if they cover the range you might need. You still won’t have the voltage for super-fast boiling though!

The most important thing is making sure the water isn’t too hot since it destroys the antioxidants and makes the tea bitter. I got a cheap electic kettle from Amazon a few weeks ago and the difference is night and day.
For tea bags I use Smith Tea since I find they have incredible flavor. I use each other their tea bags for 2 or 3 infusions depending on the type, and follow the package instructions for water temp/brewing time. I did try Mighty Leaf but found the flavor kind of flat and weak.
For loose tea I use either Rishi or Tao of Tea and brew it up in a small French press since it allows the leafs plenty of room to expand and I had it on hand anyway. Again, I follow packaging instructions for water temp/brew time.

As a beginner I bought this: Ovente KS88S Temperature Control Stainless Steel Electric Kettle, 1.7 L, Brushed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RZXJOU2/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_bDrxwbCG3WA0Q
Hopefully it gets the job done 🙂
