OOOOOOOHH !! my mum exclaimed when she saw our kettle , ( which we bought approx. 4 months ago )

New house , new kettle.

When we moved in ans I made a cup of tea , I was shocked at the amount of debris that seemed to be floating on top of my tea .

I'd tried a water filter before but thought this time I would try something a bit different .

The tap water is poured into a top compartement and is filtered through to the 3Kw ( big!! ) kettle below . The kettle is transparent so you can see how much water has been filtered .

I'm not too keen on the filling as the kettle seems a bit bulky and is heavy when full.
A piece of the lid slides back so you can fill the top bit, although we have found that it's easier to leave the kettle on it's base and fill it with a jug.

The kettle is cordless and there is a built in timer on the lid which counts down the time left before you have to change the filter ( costs vary but approx. £12 for 4 ).

The kettle has a large power rating and doesn't take long to automatically switch off when the kettle has boiled.

The kettle looks stylish and I have to instruct any relatives staying how to switch it on ( there is a button under a slide in the handle )

This kettle was expensive but I hope it lasts a long time , a small price to pay for a ''clean ''cup of tea.
