Brita Large 10-Cup Elite Water Filter Pitcher, WQA NSF/ANSI Certified, Reduces 99% of Lead, Microplastics, & 30 Contaminants, BPA-Free, Removes Chlorine Taste & Odor, 1 Filter Included, White

I have been using this Brita 10 cup water pitcher to keep filtered water in the refrigerator, and it has become part of my daily routine. The pitcher holds enough water that I am not constantly refilling it, while still fitting comfortably in the refrigerator door. The filtered water tastes noticeably better than straight tap water, and I like having cold water ready throughout the day. The Everyday Elite filter is easy to install and replace, and the pitcher is simple to refill. The lid stays in place while pouring, and the handle is comfortable to hold even when the pitcher is full. Compared to buying bottled water, this has been a more convenient and cost effective option while also reducing plastic waste. It has encouraged me to drink more water since I always have filtered water available. Pros 1. Improves the taste of tap water 2. Large 10 cup capacity reduces frequent refills 3. Fits well in most refrigerator doors 4. Easy to refill and replace the filter 5. Great alternative to buying bottled water Cons 1. Filtering takes a few minutes after each refill 2. Replacement filters add to the long term cost Overall, this is a reliable water pitcher that is easy to use and works well for everyday hydration. It provides better tasting water, reduces the need for bottled water, and has been a great addition to my kitchen.

After a few weeks of owning this I can say honestly I really like it. I wanted to cut out buying bottled water and decided to give this a try after reading reviews. Initially, I was worried how it would taste. It tastes good! And I am a snob when it comes to the taste of water. Pros: -The Elite filter doesn’t produce black specks in the water which I didn’t like about a water filter I had years ago. -I love that the Elite filter also removes lead. -It filters fast when re-filling the water. -Tastes good -The pitcher fits into our fridge. Check measurements before buying to make sure it will fit in yours. - It’s easy to clean. -It has cut down on buying bottled water. So it has saved us money. The cons: -We are a big water drinking family and the jug does need to be filled multiple times a day. That’s the only con for us and not a big deal to fill the jug. Not a con because I’m not sure yet, but The filter says it lasts six months, but I doubt it will last that long for our level of usage. A worry I have is how long the change filter indicator will last and if it could be replaced if it stops working. Definitely recommend! Happy not to be lugging the 40 pack of water bottles from Costco anymore!

I have used filter water for years. I desperately needed a new pitcher as old one was yellowed even with regular cleaning. I hope the time to replace light keeps working. I write down when I change if it doesn't work. And I'm glad the improved filter takes some lead out as well. Filters do improve taste of coffee. I use for cooking as well. Be careful removing top. It stays down nice but could break if you reef on it. Over all happy with the pitcher. Just hope filters do the job as advertised.

Pitcher has a crack before I even opened the plastic on it Update: The Amazon delivery driver and package condition itself was perfect so I reached out to the manufacturer Brita & their Customer Support was able get the issue resolved! Thankful I choose Brita!

Little issue with battery working in the beginning but is now working fine! I love the pitcher and the taste of the water!!! I would buy it again!

I moved across the country twelve years ago, and when I first bought my farmhouse, I immediately noticed that the tap water tasted HORRIBLE! About three months later, a safety report was in the mailbox, stating toxic chemicals were present in the water. I then began buying bottled water, costing $25-35 per month. After learning about the microplastics found in the bottled water brands, I searched for an alternative solution to have safe water to drink. I found this pitcher on sale during Prime Day, and thought I would give it a try. I’m so happy I did, because I now have pure, clean drinking water! After dumping the first three pitcher of water (recommended in the description), I did a quick taste test. I first took a sip of the filtered water and it tasted very very very clean. I then took a tiny sip of the tap water, and it tasted nasty as it did twelve years ago! This model also removes microplastics, so you should grab one if you’re drinking bottled water. Just pour the bottled water into the pitcher, and the filter will catch the microplastics! I just tried running the water there the filter twice, and the water now tastes better than it did after running through the filter the first time. I recommend filtering the water twice if you’re concerned about this item. You’ll find a great difference once you try this technique. If you’re concerned about the possibility of the pitcher getting cracked, try this idea. When the pitcher is half full to almost full, grab the handle with one hand and place your other hand at the bottom of the pitcher when you’re filling a glass of the water. This will reduce the pressure on the handle and bottom of the pitcher, and may reduce the chance of your pitcher being cracked in the future.

I’ve been using the Brita Water Pitcher with the Everyday Elite Filter for a while now, and it’s been a great upgrade for everyday drinking water. The pitcher itself is a nice size, easy to handle, and fits well in the refrigerator without taking up too much space. The handle feels sturdy, and pouring is smooth without splashing. What really stands out is the filter performance. The Everyday Elite filter noticeably improves the taste of the water. It tastes cleaner and fresher, with no lingering tap-water flavor. I also appreciate the peace of mind knowing it helps reduce contaminants, which makes drinking more water throughout the day feel easier and more appealing. Changing the filter is simple and quick, and the pitcher design makes refilling straightforward. I like that it filters fairly fast compared to older models I’ve used, so I’m not waiting forever to fill a glass. Cleaning the pitcher is also easy, and it holds up well with regular use. Overall, this Brita pitcher does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s convenient, effective, and reliable for daily use. If you’re looking for an affordable and easy way to improve your drinking water at home, this is a solid choice.

*UPDATE ON 3/12/26* Brita sent me a new pitcher system and included a filter. I have updated from 1 star to 3 stars. I just hope this one lasts longer. At first it worked great, but after 7 months the battery to indicate whether the filter is good or bad stopped working. The battery is not replaceable and should last 3-5 years. Mine stopped working at 7 months. When I reached out to Brita, this was their response: "Thanks, and although your warranty has expired, we've got you covered! I'll be happy to send you a few calendar stickers to help you keep track of your filter replacements, and a $10 in-store coupon toward your next Brita purchase. Please reply with your full name and mailing address." Why would I want calendar stickers and a coupon?? I should be sent a replacement for the top of the pitcher?

The idea to go for Elite is no more frequent filter replacement. But it’s meaningless if the indicator doesn’t work. The indicator light was completely off after less than 3 months (most likely end of battery life).
