Brita Acclario Water Filter/Kettle

Advantages: Boils filtered water! Fast, attractive and functional
Disadvantages: costs 50 quid!

...– you’re talking about the Brita Acclario (and I agree with Billy it does sound more like a sports car than a kettle! Closest I am likely to get to owning a sports car at this rate anyway.) Are you sitting down now? Put your hot drink down on a level surface before you read that it costs GBP49:95! No wonder my other half was horrified, but – as I pointed out – our old wedding-present kettle had lasted almost 7 years. If this ...
...water for a while – Brita ones apparently only for an instant, the cheaper refills I got from Sainsburys request 20 minutes! Then you put it all together, and the kettle is ready to fill from the tap. Before you do this however, you need to set the LCD monitor that will tell you when a new cartridge is required, just press and hold down the button on the kettle lid for a few seconds until the display flashes with 4 full bars. Then you can finally ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent tasting drinks and you don't need a separate water filter
Disadvantages: Heavy and Easy Pour lid doesn't work too well

...transaction we felt! Warranty Brita offer a 2 year warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee. You need to register your kettle to take advantage of these offers. Water Quality We are really pleased so far. I've drunk cold water from the kettle and compared it to tap water - and it wins hands down. The taste of hot drinks are also so much better. Before, I'd find bits of calcium carbonate fur floating around in my drinks from my old kettle, which ...
...of drinks from this kettle have been so much smoother and enjoyable. Recommendation This is by no means a perfect kettle. As I've said, it's quite heavy and bulky. The easy pour lid, isn't wonderful either - but taking the lid off to pour in the water, is no great problem! The big plus, is the taste of the drinks, you can really taste the difference and I've been drinking more hot drinks recently as a result (or was that because I wanted to watch ... Read review

Advantages: Space saving, good value compared to separate jug and kettle
Disadvantages: Indistinct "on" button

The Brita Acclario? OK, I know it sounds more like a kit-built British sports cars, but it’s actually the latest offering from Brita, makers of portable water filtration “solutions” (God, I hate that word!). So, Brita have brought out another water jug, so what? Not content with the basic version of their now-familiar clear acrylic and white plastic jug, Brita then followed up with the dearer version with a liquid-crystal timer in the lid to warn ...
...those clever Teutonic sons-of-fun at Brita have cut out the middleman. The Acclario is not only a conventional water filter jug but also a cordless jug-kettle, all rolled into one neat parallel-sided cylinder of understated design. Natty, eh? Looks-wise, it is easy to grasp what it is, having somewhere to put cold (scummy*) tap water in at the top, and somewhere to boil the nice clear stuff down below. *Well, that’s Thames water dismissed in a word! ...

Advantages: Cleaner, smoother water with no "bits".
Disadvantages: Expensive Cartridges to relpace.

...better kettle. I saw a Brita water filter kettle - rapid boil in the Argos catalogue and thought it looked great either a black or silver one, the only draw back was the price between £49.99 to £59.99 depending on what colour you had, but I had to have one. A couple of days later i dispatched my husband to Sainsbury for a few grocery items when I received a call from him, they had them in there on a special £34.99 but in white and not rapid boil, ...
...less and not rapid boil? yes I could so, he brought one. It was Christmas time and i think it must have been a special promotion as i haven't seen them in there since. what a great invention! saves all the hassle of a separate filter jug that you just know would live empty in the fridge! I could immediatley taste the difference, the water tasted cleaner, smoother and there were no scummy bits floating on the top, it boiled quite quickly as well! ... Read review

Advantages: Takes up less room than a filter jug and a kettle.
Disadvantages: You have to wait for the water to filter before you can boil it!

...small kitchen. We noticed the Brita Acclario filter kettle in Argos a few months ago while we were looking to get him a fridge jug which although notideal would at least save him a little space. The kettles were priced at around £45 but he was needing a new kettle anyway so he said if we wanted to buy him one to wait til his birthday this month and the price may have dropped slightly. We saw one in Tesco about 6 weeks ago for £26 and decided to ...
...impressed with his. The replacement brita cartridges cost around £19.99 for 6 but you can get universal ones for about half this price. The filters help reduce the build up of limescale, reduce heavy metals in the water such as lead and copper and reduce chlorine, certain pesticides and other impurities. On the box it shows a cup of tea in a glass cup the picture is in 2 halves one showing the tea using filtered water the other unfiltered and ... Read review
