+ Boils very quickly and very robust (used in a company kitchen)

- Does not take much water because of the filter taking up space. You can not always see if there is any water in the bottom of the kettle as its design is slighly 'misted'

Ian, Inverness

+ Filtres the water. Lid opens easily for filling.

- Fills from empty in small stages (because water has to pass through flter). This can be an advantage as you tend to heat only the water you need!

+ Looks good - water taste great because of filter

- doesn't hold too much water because of filter (maybe that's good as in your not boiling too much water evertime)

Steve, Billericay

+ Nice kettle , looks good...

- Initially everything was fine, but after a few days the lid started to spring open of its own accord! the replacement had the same problem, the third one is still working correctly... I can only conclude its a batch problem, hence the 6/10 (poor quality control).

Sharon, Stafford

+ It looks great!
It uses the maxtra filters so filters really quickly.
You can switch on to boil while it is filtering, so no waiting around.

- We had previous model that died after 14 months so hoping this one lasts longer.....
It is quite expensive for a kettle!

+ Nice looking kettle. Due to the Filter the water is scum-free (we live in a hard water area and so suffer with lime-scale) and nice and clear when you pour. The kettle is quick boiling and the light changes from red to blue so you can see straight away that it has boiled.

- The only really annoying thing about the design of the kettle is the section where you put the water. It only holds enough water for about half a teapot and so have to boil the kettle twice to get a full pot of tea. It does boil quickly but it is still annoying.

+ I really like the style and the large capacity of this kettle. It looks smart and is very quick.

- You have to lift the lid to fill the kettle. You cannot fill from the spout. I am being really picky here because I love the kettle and that is the only thing I can find fault with.
