Good Points

Looks nice, market-leading name in water filters.


Bad Points

Dribbles when pouring boiling water!! steam scalds your hand when tilting the kettle!!
General flimsy construction of trim.


General Comments

The 2 main safety points are that ever since we bought the thing it has dribbled, due to its badly designed spout. Boiling water goes all over the worktop if making a mug of coffee. The water also dribbles down the front of the kettle, and thence onto your foot! I now pour the kettle over the sink. Steam also escapes from the top of the handle, where the filter slide sits. When slid forward in the "boil kettle" position, scalding steam escapes through the gap, giving me a permanently sore thumb.
The trim at the bottom of the kettle (where the "Brita" name is) started cracking within months of buying it. Now it has come off completely, and is sellotaped on.
Dangerous and badly designed. Why am I still using it?
We still have 3 filters left! We bought another kettle, and as soon as the Brita filters have gone, in the bin with the kettle!!
Do not buy one of these things.
