Whether you’re making tea, coffee, or just need filtered hot water, the Russell Hobbs Brita Filter Kettle delivers perfection every time.

I ordered my kettle July 2020 and only now is it going in the blink! Simply the most rugged kettle I have ever owned. Don’t get me wrong the little plastic tab to lift the top broke a few months after buying it, but I just filled through the spout and never used the Brita cartridges so I just used it for many years without fault. Even the blue LED in the water never blew out! It’s now in the blink as the round base that the kettle slits into that electrical connection is finally I think giving up. But after 6 years of extreme family use can’t fault it. I will 100% buy another one soon!

I’ve been using the Russell Hobbs 22851 Brita Filter Kettle for two months, and it’s been absolutely fantastic in terms of performance.🔹 What I Love:✔ Brita Filtration Works Brilliantly – Water tastes cleaner and fresher, with no limescale buildup.✔ Fast Boiling (3000W Power) – Boils quickly, perfect for busy mornings.✔ Illuminated Design – The blue LED while boiling looks sleek and modern.✔ 1.5L Capacity – Holds enough water for multiple cups, but isn’t too bulky.✔ Easy to Use & Fill – Lightweight and pours smoothly without spills.🔹 Why 4 Stars Instead of 5?➖ Plastic Build – Feels sturdy, but I wish it were stainless steel for a more premium feel.✅ Final Verdict:If you’re looking for a fast-boiling kettle with a great water filter, this is a brilliant choice! The Brita filter truly makes a difference in water taste, and the kettle itself is efficient and stylish.💡 Pro Tip: Change the Brita Maxtra+ filter every month for the best performance.⭐ 4/5 – Excellent Kettle, but a Stainless Steel Option Would Be Even Better!

Lovely filter kettle - a good replacement for the older Breville Brita model. The main differences are that it seems to be a little less capacious but I like the power cut-off when you take the kettle off the base (which the Breville didn't do) and the chalk filter in the spout.

Brilliant price, Brilliant product

Fantastic product value for money

The BRITA filter sounds nice in theory, but if you haven't used one before (as I hadn't), you should be aware just how much this will increase the time it takes to make a drink. No longer can you just throw the water in the kettle and turn it on. You have to wait idly by it while the water trickles through the filter. If that's fine by you, then great. For me, I'd rather have a normal kettle, and just pour pre-filtered water in.The worst part though may be the capacity. Something I didn't think would be a problem, since this is a 1.5L kettle. Right? Wrong. The product title is misleading. It says 1.5L, but the product DESCRIPTION says 1L, with a 0.5L hopper. That doesn't count. If you are making tea for more than three people at a time, you're going to need to run it a few times, and that means waiting for it to trickle slowly through the filter every single time. If you host people regularly, this is not the right kettle for the occasion.Despite my complaints, it is a perfectly serviceable kettle. If the low capacity and slow prep time aren't a problem for you, you'll probably find this kettle to be completely fine. For myself, I can't help feeling like I made a mistake.

Love,love love this kettle
