Brita Acclario Reviews
Newest Review: ... to consider the expense incurred to filter the water! Filter cartridges produced by Brita tend to be quite expensive, ... more
... although they are regularly on special offer.
Single filters can be found at Tesco for £4.00, whilst a 5 pack is £18.50.
I no longer opt for Brita and use Tesco filters, a single cartridge costs £2.25 and a pack of 3 is £6.50.
The filter must be changed approximately every month, although the kettle will let you know when this is due via a handy gadget on the lid. This requires resetting each time the filter is replaced.
I'm not sure if the water in my area is particularly 'unclean' but there is evidence of grime eac...more

I bought this kettle because I'm a bit of a tea nut (sad, I know!). My friend told me it would make a huge difference to the taste of tea, and convinced me to buy one. The kettle is quite bulky and not especially pretty to look at. You pour water from the tap into a small reservoir at the top, and gravity causes it to fall through the water filter (just like on a fridge filter). At the bottom is a heating element, so that when enough water has fallen through, you can flick a switch and boil it. The system is easy to use, but it does have one flaw: it takes quite a long time to filter. If, like me, you're an impatient person who just wants a cuppa NOW, ... Read the complete review

I'VE UPDATED THIS TO REFLECT THE FIRST 3 MONTH'S USE. AND NOW BACK TO THE PLOT.... 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 of impending exhaustion of the filter (after all, we wouldn't want you to ...

I'm writing this for two reaons. Firstly is for you, the dooyoo community, who deserves to hear the voice of experience on kettles. Secondly, is to annoy my tea-loving mother. Because she covets this kettle. I'll give you a quick description so this is all in context for you: The kettle is a fairly large unit, with a corded base that the kettle itself comes away from. Quite nifty, but come on, this is the 21st century - everything is wireless. The kettle is then divided into two main parts - the bottom boiling section, with a flat metallic heating element (good for the fight against limescale, or so I've heard). It holds about a litre and a half or ... Read the complete review

I bought this kettle approximately six years ago following the birth of my first child - at that time I believed everything should be sterilised, filtered etc and went a bit over the top! Nowadays I am have a much laxer attitude. Fortunately this purchase was worth every penny. I originally paid around £40.00 at Argos but when browsing Ebay I saw the same kettle for £25.00. If I had then ordered the kettle from Ebay and returned it to Argos, passing it off as the original kettle (assuming it was within the 2 week no quibble money back guarantee period) I could have saved myself £15.00. Of course, that is not something I would do..... When ... Read the complete review

I'm not sure why but over that last couple of years we seem to have gotten through more than our fair share of kettles. Whilst you might think that they are simple devices that should last for ages and generally not be too difficult to get wrong (from a design point of view) you'd be wrong. Whilst I won’t bore you with the details it is fair to say that our last few attempts to find a decent looking decent performing kettle have proven to be more difficult than it should be. Our latest attempt is the Brita Acclario and we’ve now had it about 6 months (Aug/2002). Firstly, this is a bit more than a standard kettle. It is basically a ... Read the complete review
