RELIABLE

A very well made kettle

The drawback with all kettles I have had with a built in filter is that the available space for water to be boiled is reduced

It's clearly been built well

The second example has started leaking in exactly the same way

feels well made

is very sturdy

NOT RELIABLE

Carried on using the kettle like this for a few more days then it broke completely

It looked a bit 'plasticky' at first

If there's no response then I would certainly not recommend buying this cheap plastic product that clearly is broken before even arriving

is very plasticky
