Brita Water Filter Pitcher for Tap and Drinking Water with 1 Standard Filter, Lasts 2 Months, 6-Cup Capacity, BPA Free, White

I've had this pitcher for 9 months now & it still works wonderfully! The Brita filter lasted 7-8 months for one person using average 1 & 1/2 a day (I know, I should be drinking more). The color indicator never seemed to turn yellow, but the green seemed to flash slower, then one day it was flashing red - and there was a difference in taste. So maybe be ready with another filter instead of waiting to buy one until you see the yellow. I did buy a knockoff brand filter replacement & there's enough of a difference in taste (& most likely longevity) that I am DEFINITELY staying with the BRITA brand filter from now on.FYI - the Brita filter did need to be 'burped' about 3 times toward the beginning (water was not percolating through, so I just ran my finger across the top of the filter to get it going) - & now that I've had the lower quality knockoff that has not needed burping, I consider that a GOOD quality instead of bad. Also, I'm glad I waited this long to give a review because in the beginning, I was wondering how the plastic was going to hold up & it has! The hard plastic 'felt' like it would be more brittle, so I tried to be careful not to bang it pulling it out of the fridge etc. But it HAS happened enough times & I've inspected it, for me to realize that it's durable! I also noticed that it's AIRTIGHT - not sure if that's the word for it - but it never produced any little mold spots INSIDE the pitcher! When I did see one or two, they formed at the very top edge where tap water droplets strayed while filling it. When I noticed that, I learned from my lesson & made sure to have the pitcher open & ready to be filled directly instead of allowing any stray water droplets to happen. As per instructions, I also don't leave the flip top open while it's percolating. I close it then open again to fill to fill line (the little protrusion) a 2nd time. I've also noticed to be careful not to touch the pour spout on anything since tiny mold spots can occur there. Otherwise, I've left it in the fridge without the need to clean it out (no signs or smells of bacteria inside) all those months.There is ONE thing that I would like for them to change in the design, but it's not bad enough to take off a star. The flip top, although it opens easily, also CLOSES too easily. I flip it with my thumb while holding the handle, but then when I barely move my thumb it hits it closed again. I hate when that happens because then the tap water splashes across the top between the pitcher & filter top or the spout to potentially produce tiny mold spots. I have to constantly remind myself to be careful flipping the top & totally take my hands away & have the tap placed squarely over the open area before turning on the water. There's enough room between faucet & pitcher that I can flip it closed again right away for it to percolate. I LOVE that the percolating process doesn't take too long either! Although it does percolate faster with the knockoff filter - another sign the knockoff doesn't work as well.

Tired of purchasing water during trips when flying? The convenience factor is using the same filter as our home 10-cup Brita pitcher (besides the cost of water at multiple airports far exceeds that of a filter when traveling with a companion). Although airport water-bottle filling stations are more prevalent, some have questioned their quality (ever see a test-result report?). Also we usually purchase water after checking into a hotel but no more. (Btw, we are planning to use it on a cruise in the near future - the primary reason for this purchase because cruise beverage plans are so expensive). WARNING: if you decide to use the Brita pitcher only at your destination and you’ve placed it in your checked bag, carry the water filter in your carry on bag. Its unusual shape may make it subject to additional scrutiny.

We don't have filtered water at work. I got tired of lugging bottles of water to work, so I bought this, put my name on it & refill it each evening on my way out. The water tastes great. I got it on a Prime Day sale, but we'll worth it at full price! Doesn't take up anymore room than the bottles I had to keep in stock before!

I've had a brita pitcher for probably 25 years. This newest model is very nice but the I really don't like the tapered bottom. I have mats on my refrigerator shelves and I have to set the brita against the wall in the fridge to make sure it doesn't tip over. If it was directly on the glass it would probably be fine. Otherwise, it's great.

We love this pitcher! We tried multiple different ones before finding this one. Most were too small, tipped over easily, was very slow, or looked cheap. This one fixed all of that and taste amazing. For how cheap it is, it is way better than most of the name brands, and last quite a while.

I love my Brita water pitcher it makes the water taste so well and fits perfectly inside my fridge. The water does flow slowly when your filling it up but im sure thats just because it has a great filter overall functions amazingly and is a great value for the money

This product is amazing. Our fridge is broken and we were buying bottled water. Me granddaughter told me about the Brita water pitcher for filtering our drinking water. We love it and saved us a lot of money for bottled water.

Best value for treating water from the tap. Considering the cost of buying bottled this is a massive savings. Water tastes clean and I'm not just disposing tons of plastic into the environment. That's to say nothing of ingesting all sorts of microplastics and the chemicals that go into making them.Win-win in my book
