At the top of our list is the Russell Hobbs 20760-10 Glass Kettle. It has a 1.5 litre capacity - 1 litre boil capacity and a 0.5 litre hopper capacity. It has a modern style with a beautiful large glass water window which illuminates blue when boiling, polished stainless steel accents and a large black plastic handle. It has an in-built BRITA filtration system which successfully removes impurities from the water. The BRITA filter system permanently absorbs any copper or lead that may be present in the water.
It's also a rapid boil kettle, with a powerful 3kW heating element. It has many of the features expected from modern kettles, including a concealed heating element to extend its working life, a perfect pour spout to reduce dripping on worktops, a convenient 360 degree swivel base to allow the kettle to be placed down with ease, and a button controlled flip top lid. It will also remind you when the BRITA cartridge needs replacing.

Next we have the Breville VKJ972 BRITA Filter Maxtra Jug Kettle. It has a 1 litre capacity, and a BRITA filtration system which helps to make the water look and taste better. The VKJ972 Kettle is capable of boiling and filtering water simultaneously, allowing for a fast hot drink. It has a modern style with an extra large water window and smooth curves, particularly on the handle. It also utilises stainless steel for added effect. The VKJ972 is perfect for hard water areas.
It also has a number of other features. Some of these are a 360 degree base for left and right handed use, a push button lid release, a soft blue illumination when boiling and a memory function which will alert you as to when the cartridge needs replacing. The way the kettle is designed makes switching out old cartridges for new cartridges extremely straightforward.

Third on our list is the Breville BRITA HotCup Hot Water Dispenser. Whilst technically not a kettle, it may be of interest, so we include it here. It has a 1.8 litre capacity, working out to roughly 7-9 cups. It's a modern dispenser with a silver/black design, a large water window and a polished stainless steel finish. When boiling, the water tank will illuminate blue.
One feature we particularly like is how the dispenser's filtration system works whilst it's boiling. As a consequence it can boil 1 cup in under 50 seconds. Limescale, chlorine, etc, will be filtered from the water. A cup of water can be dispensed with the touch of a button, although there are 9 pre-set cup sizes to choose from. The filling cycle can be terminated through the use of a manual stop button. These features allow the Breville HotCup Dispenser to be used in an energy efficient manner.
Its other features include:

At number four is the Russell Hobbs 22851 Brita Filter Kettle. It's similar in design to the Breville VKJ972, but with more gentle curves. It has metal around the bottom and a large black plastic handle for a secure grip. It has a large water window which illuminates when the kettle is boiling. Its capacity is 1.5 litres - 1 litre for boiling, and 0.5 litres in the hopper. It will remind you when the cartridge needs replacing.
This kettle is also capable of filtering and boiling at the same time, so your hot water will be ready without unnecessary delays. It's also a rapid boil kettle with a concealed 3kW heating element. So as to be energy efficient, the kettle is capable of boiling 1 cup of water at a time. Splashes and spillages are reduced through the use of what Russell Hobbs refer to as a "perfect pour spout". For left and right handed users, the kettle comes with a 360 degree base.

Finally we have the Morphy Richards Brita Filter Kettle. Unlike the others, this has a standard design. It has a 1.5 litre capacity, which is about 6 cups. It has a well designed ergonomic handle which provides a comfortable grip, an easy to read water level indicator, and a push button flip lid for convenience.
It also has many features which are considered standard for modern kettles. These are a 360 degree base for easy kettle placing and lifting, integrated cord storage underneath the base for any excess electrical cable, a concealed heating element to extend the kettle's lifespan, and boil dry protection. The kettle will remind you when the cartridge needs replacing.
