Yep, looking for a new kettle as the one we have is slowly dying and I can't do without my cuppa! I'm looking for a kettle that uses the brita filters as the water here in London is lousy. Does anyone use one of these or can recommend one? I've read a couple of reviews about the Brita Acclario model but they weren't very good.

Have a look in Currys and find one you like 
Don't buy a Morphy Richards. The last two i have had have been rubbish.
The first one had an issue with the lid deciding to pop open randomly when the kettle was boiling and the second, a diffrent style and model, has exactly the opposite, it's solid to get the lid off. Which you need to do as the spout is too small to be used to fill it up.
So i'm not buying another, ever. Maybe it's just the ones i have bought but they have been poorly designed.

Do people actually care what a kettle looks like?
I have a "Breville Brita Brushed Stainless Steel" that I got from a high street catalogue store. Just looked it's now £39.99. In cambridge the water is awful for tea. I never even drunk the stuff because I didnt like the taste. Now with this kettle I can drink tea and enjoy it again.
Expensive but a great kettle.

Jez said:Just get the most powerful one, 3100w was the best i could find when getting mine. Boils very very quickly. That clear one above does look very nice though
Yup, got a Philips one 3100W, boil 1.6 Litres in about 2 mins.
