Brita Large Water Filter Pitcher for Tap and Drinking Water, Includes 1 Standard Filter, BPA-Free, Lasts Two Months, 10-Cup Capacity, Bright White

Easy setup and easy use. Works better than expected. Water comes out crystal clear and without taste or odor. Narrow design gives it a small footprint on the shelf or in the refrigerator. Fill up the top reservoir and allow it to trickle through. An excellent way to have cleaner water than using bottles and saves money too. The higher grade filter makes a huge difference and worth the extra up front cost

Of late, I’ve felt like I’ve been living in an Eastern Bloc country during the Cold War days. By that, I mean that whenever I buy a brand-name product, I find myself disappointed by the poor quality despite the brand-name price. It is almost as if items on shelves are cheap knockoffs of the real thing, e.g., a “Samsoong” pretending to be a “Samsung” (and I chose that brand for a reason - hint, hint). I know this impression isn’t just true for me, either, as there are plenty of YouTube videos documenting this as well, and even the New York Times had a piece about how former luxury brands are now rubbish as well. Having said that, I am happy to report that this Brita water pitcher is not part of that awful trend in quality. It is the first thing in a very long time that was worth every penny,Truthfully, I am surprised by this, as my previous experience with Brita pitchers was not positive. The filters were always very good, but the pitcher design left much to be desired. Specifically, my previous two Brita pitchers had a very nasty habit of spilling water onto my feet, table, whatever, whenever there was any water in the reservoir. While some people might appreciate getting a good foot-washing whenever they pour themselves a glass of water, I did not. This issue was largely due to the way the reservoir cap sat lightly upon the pitcher itself, giving water in the reservoir an easy way to escape when tilted downwards, such as when pouring, as well as giving the cap a 50-50 chance of falling off and landing on the table during a pour. It was an infuriating and lazy design flaw, frankly, so infuriating that I was tempted to take a picture of an ancient Grecian pitcher, tape it to the Brita pitcher with a note suggesting Brita’s engineers study it carefully to see how pitchers should work, and throw the entire thing on the front lawn of the corporate HQ. I was so disgusted with the design that I switched to Brita’s competitor, Pur, only to discover that their design had the same flaws, but worse! When people talk about “late-stage capitalism,” they might be on to something…Recently, that pitcher’s poor quality began to fragment…literally, so I needed a new one. After reading a positive review of Brita’s new design in the New York Times’ “Wirecutter” newsletter, I decided to gamble with my money and return to the brand. And I am glad that I did; it truly is a vast improvement over the older design. I knew I had a winner when I removed the pitcher from the box and discovered that the leaky reservoir cap held in place by mere gravity had been replaced with a cap INSET into the pitcher itself, ensuring that water inside the reservoir could not leak out when pouring and, needless to say, making it impossible for the cap to fall off as well. Finally! What is more, ergonomically speaking, I find this design to be a pleasure to hold, with an easily graspable handle that makes handling a full pitcher much less of an awkward experience.As I wrote above, Brita always had a good filter, but the new generation of filters is a step up in quality. I am fortunate in that the local water is fine except for the taste of chlorine, so I do not need a filter that scrubs the water heavily. Having said that, I am glad to see that the filter now removes even more contaminants than in years past (from what I recall), and is better at removing that chlorine taste. Out of curiosity, I purchased an “Elite” filter. These are roughly twice the price of the regular filters, but they last up to six months, so the value is there. The quality is also superior to the standard filter, as I could not detect any chlorine aftertaste after using the Elite filter. The Elite filters cost more, but they are worth it.Overall, this Brita pitcher is the first thing I have purchased in a long time that was well worth the money. A smart design (finally!), coupled with a choice of two very good to excellent filters, I am at a loss to find something to criticize. Well done, Brita. May other companies follow your example.

Well made - love it because the filtration on our fridge broke - very easy to use - was worried it might be a hassle to keep full but it has been so easy - just fill set in the fridge - fine - water tastes great !

This Brita Water Filter Pitcher has been a great purchase. The large 10-cup capacity is perfect for our family, and it comes with one replacement filter. The water tastes clean and fresh, and the design fits nicely in the fridge. I first bought one for our home and liked it so much that I purchased a second for my daughter to take to college. The filters work effectively, though the filtering process can be a bit slow. Overall, it’s a great product and worth it for better-tasting water.

Ive had this product for over 2 years, its very good. It filtrrs the water in seconds, you can drink immediately.It is best to purchase extra filters as you need to replace them every 2 months based on your usage.It hold aroind than 5 large classes of water. Its durable and easy to set up. Works very well as advertised.

We replaced an older Britta pitcher with this one. I love the larger fill opening and the open pour spout for the filtered water (the old one had a flap that would sometimes stick and misdirect the water).The capacity is great as we use 4-6 pitchers full per day (I love drinking water). The size/design fits better in the door shelf of our double door refrigerator. The water quality with the Britta filters is excellent. The one thing that I missed was that this model did not have the filter replacement notification feature. The do have the same type with that feature, I just missed that this one didn't when I ordered it. I've switched to the 6-month, long life filters anyway, so it's really not an issue for me.

I use this to fill my pets water dishes. I feel much better using this for them rather than water straight out of the faucet. The water tastes much cleaner. It holds a lot so I don't have to fill it every day like my last one. It can get heavy if full but balancing it with my other hand helps. I had surgery 10 mths ago on both wrists and it doesn't give me much issue but if you can't lift just don't fill it to max. The size should fit most fridges but I keep it out. The design of this model is very nice and looks good sitting on my counter. If you don't drink/use a lot of water, I would recommend the 6 cup capacity. The 10 cup suits my needs much better and lasts about two to three days, filling up the 2 large water dishes at min, twice a day.

I love this pitcher. I keep it next to my pod coffee maker. I use it daily and it is well made, high capacity.
