There were a number of reasons why we chose this kettle:
*As we live in a hard water area it was important that there was a filter in order to avoid the build up of limescale. The filter on this kettle works really well and after about nine months we have no nasty traces of scale at all. It states that it removes limescale, lead and other impurities from tap water.

Our old kettle recently gave up the ghost so therefore, after looking at quite a few different filter kettles, we bought the Filter Rapide kettle from Morphy Richards.
There were a number of reasons why we chose this kettle:
*As we live in a hard water area it was important that there was a filter in order to avoid the build up of limescale. The filter on this kettle works really well and after about nine months we have no nasty traces of scale at all. It states that it removes limescale, lead and other impurities from tap water.
*Also, our last kettle had a filter but we had to wait for this to work before we could set the kettle to boil. If we forgot to fill the kettle the night before, we had a long wait for our tea in the morning! With the filter rapide you can turn the kettle on while it is still filtering.
*This kettle also has rapid boil which means that it boils very quickly which has to be economical. Also, while the water is boiling, the kettle turns blue so you can clearly see whether it is working. It also looks nice too! (and is sometimes a talking point when you make friends a hot drink!)
* It has to look good in the kitchen! This kettle looks elegant, it is clear but the element is concealed.
* It has a 2 litre capacity which is very useful when you have a large family - you don't often run out of water half way through the last cup!
It is recommended that you change the filter about once a month although it does depend on how much you use it. you have to use the Morphy Richards replacement filters which do seem slightly harder to find tn the shops than the Britax ones. In the instruction leaflet it says that you can ring the replacement parts helpline for assistance, but we actually found someone selling them on ebay for a very good price!
There is a helpline to ring if anything goes wrong with your kettle but so far ours has worked perfectly. It also comes with a two year guarantee. It also has a clear instruction leaflet with a good emphasis on safety.
I've always thought that Morphy richards is a good brand name, and this kettle has certainly lived up to it. It works well, is fast and economical, and looks good in our kitchen (always important!)
Advantages: Boil while still filtering | Hot drinks taste so much nicer Disadvantages: Filter cartridges need replacing every month | Smallish capacity
Our old kettle had become a real safety hazard, with water going everywhere but where it was wanted, so we decided that we had to replace it. To make things a little more interesting I had decided that as we lived in a hard water area I wanted a kettle with a built in filter, so we hunted the shops and eventually came up with the MorphyRichardsFilterRapide, a kettle that claimed to filter and boil the water at the same time.
~~~The Styling~~~
The kettle looks pretty stylish, being mainly clear with silver detailing. Although larger in size than your average kettle it actually has a somewhat smaller capacity at only 1 litre (which is just enough for two large mugs). This is a cordless kettle that sits on a base that allows it to rotate 360 degrees, meaning that it can be placed in almost any position in my kitchen. I must say ...
