Russell Hobbs 22851 Brita Filter Kettle review: What you get?
- A Brita Maxtra+ Filter – The Russell Hobbs 22851 Brita Filter Purity kettle has a special BRITA MAXTRA+ filter inside. This filter removes chlorine, lead, and copper from the water. In England, tap water can have some not-so-good material, so having this electric filter kettle is super handy.
Bonus Tip: Change the filter every four weeks to keep the water fresh and clean. But don’t worry; the kettle will still work even if it doesn’t have a filter inside.
- Performance – This kettle boils water fast. In just 2 minutes and 16 seconds, you have 1 litre of hot water. If you wait 30 seconds after boiling and then pour it into a cold cup, the water is about 86 degrees Celsius, that’s good for making black tea.
- Boil dry protection – This automatic Russell Hobbs Purity electric glass kettle turns off itself if there’s not enough water inside. It is good because it stops the kettle from getting damaged when there’s no water.
- Concealed Heating Element – The heating part of the kettle is hidden near the bottom. It prevents limescale from forming in Concealed, so it will work well and not affect your drink taste.
- 360 Degree Base – You can put the kettle on its base from any angle. It’s not needed, but it’s super handy for users.

Russell Hobbs 22851 Brita Filter Kettle: What could be better?
The Russell Hobbs 22851 Brita Filter kettle looks nice and has an excellent design. It’s great for a couple or a single person, but not for a big family. It can’t hold much water because the filter inside takes up a lot of space.
If you want to use the Brita Filter Purity electric kettle regularly, you need to buy a new filter every month, which costs more money. When you fill it, the user has to wait for the water to go through the filter, which becomes annoying later.
Russell Hobbs 22851 Brita Filter Kettle: Is it good to buy?
We loved it in our tests and never returned to a standard electric kettle because Russell Hobbs 22851 Brita Purity Filter tastes best and has no limescale. But its casing is entirely plastic! If you spend some more, you may buy a better quality one.
However, Russell Hobbs BRITA Purity Kettle might be a great option if you are looking for a budget-friendly kettle and do not require a larger capacity. If you treat it carefully, this kettle could serve you for a more extended period.
