5.0 out of 5 starsGreat pitcher! Reservoir DOES COME OUT! Follow instructions!
April 20, 2018
Reading back through the reviews after owning this drives me crazy. If you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS, you won't have problems! Simple as that!

First and foremost, THE RESERVOIR DOES COME OUT. It's tight, and it feels like you might crack the plastic if you really start yanking, but it does come out for cleaning. The way I removed it was by tucking the pitcher under my left arm, and with my right thumb and forefinger, I gripped the little recess in the reservoir and wiggled it back and forth while pulling outwards. If the assembly is dry, it will come out just fine. If it's wet, it'll take a little more effort.

For people complaining about the filter, I grant that you may have had a lemon, but from what I can tell, most of the issues experienced will be avoided by FLUSHING THE FILTER WITH WATER BEFORE USE, and DISPOSING OF THE FIRST FEW PITCHERS OF FILTERED WATER, as instructed.

Follow the instructions, keep it refrigerated, clean it periodically, replace your filters when your water stops tasting filtered, and you are unlikely to have problems. I will change my review if this turns out not to be the case.

1.0 out of 5 starsNot any safer than tap water; does taste better
December 4, 2018
By water filter, Brita is actually selling you odor remover. Even then I don’t know if it’s placebo. What a sham.
I’d suggest you to buy a water tester and test Brita’s water along with your tap water and bottled water.

My results were:
Tap: 265 ppm
Brita: 261 ppm
Ozarka (mineral spring water): 37 ppm
La croix (for fun): 55 ppm

Disclaimer: I am using their longlast filter and it’s less than a month old. I am purifying 80 oz a day. (It should be lasting 6 months at least).

1.0 out of 5 starsCan easily change filter, but not clean pitcher
October 15, 2018
Style Name: Standard FilterVerified Purchase
When I bought this, I assumed that I could clean the pitcher. When I found out that you couldn't, I assumed it was made of materials that prevented mold and mildew. I used this pitcher heavily for over a year, but always changed the filter on-time. Pitcher is always kept in the refrigerator. I thought I was OK maintenance-wise. About two weeks ago, I started tasting a weird taste, which became stronger overtime until it clearly tasted/smelled like mold. I found the mold in the spout (It also had bled outside of the spout) and tried to clean it. It doesn't disassemble. I broke it trying to take it apart. Come on Brita--How much would it cost to make the reservoir housing accessible??? I'm switching brands to Aquagear. More expensive, but disassembles and is guaranteed for life. If you buy this Brita filter, keep an eye out for the mold in the spout. See the disgusting attached picture.

1.0 out of 5 stars** ITEM IS NOT ELIGABLE FOR RETURNS **
June 3, 2018
Style Name: Standard FilterVerified Purchase
** EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A PRIME ITEM, IT IS NOT ELIGABLE FOR RETURNS ** filter reservoir and pitcher are stuck together and can not be pulled apart to be cleaned as with other britas. This item is very cheaply made. Also the instructions describe a filter indicator light which is not there. The stars on this item have to be fake. Do not buy! You'd be better off lighting your money on fire.

3.0 out of 5 starsHappy Brita Stands Behind their Products
May 18, 2018
Style Name: Standard FilterVerified Purchase
Within 6 month developed a structural crack and leaked all over my refrigerator and kitchen floor. From other reviews appears to be an inherent problem. Happily, when I contacted Brita they offered a free replacement even past the 90 day warranty. Hoping pitcher number 2 will hold up better.

1.0 out of 5 starsBrittle, very brittle. Quality is lacking.
August 25, 2018
Style Name: Standard FilterVerified Purchase
Not a sturdy product. It fell on the floor and a piece cracked off of the edge. Later it cracked as I was still trying to use it and it fell again. My older ones are still in use. The plastic is thin, thin. I wish I had bought it in a store and could have evaluated it in person. I would not have bought it! I nested the pieces then could not get them apart with hot and cold water (you know the routine). WASTED MONEY!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Product!
September 24, 2017
Style Name: Standard FilterVerified Purchase
We've been using Brita Water Filter Pitchers for many years and they've all been great! The reason why I've purchased this unit was only to replace our old pitcher for a fresh look and larger capacity. The difference between drinking tap-water and filtered water is immediately noticeable, so based on years of experience, I can highly recommend THIS brand to everyone! :-)

3.0 out of 5 starsLove the bigger size and it could just be placebo ...
May 23, 2018
Style Name: Standard FilterVerified Purchase
We had the five cup pitcher before this that grew algae at the bottom because I'm a lazy pile and never put the Brita back in the fridge. So put your Britas back in their fridges!! Tossed that one out and bought this one instead.

Love the bigger size and it could just be placebo effect but the water tastes cleaner in this than the five cup pitcher.

Docked two stars because I like the lid more that you can open up with your thumb like one of those old giant German beer mugs. This one requires you to take the entire lid off. Also, it's my fault for not confirming but I'm bummed there's no digital filter indicator on this. You have to use this archaic sticker system that is a general estimate and could be fairly inaccurate depending on how much water you consume daily. I'm afraid I'll be drinking impure water.

Perhaps it's a scheme to get me to buy more filters due to paranoia...well played Brita...well played.

5.0 out of 5 starsEffective Pitcher That Filters Water Well
November 8, 2018
Style Name: Standard FilterVerified Purchase
Scanning through some of the comments- primarily the negative- has made me feel the need to leave a review. The majority of people's complaints would be non- issues if they followed the directions, simple as that.

To begin with the reservoir can be removed. I'll admit it took effort the first time getting used to the level of force you could exert without possibly damaging the pitcher, but it can be done. It seems to be easier when the pitcher is dry as well- if it's wet you'll have to use more of those muscles.

And concerning complaints about the filter- follow the instructions! It specifically states to flush the filter with water and and dispose the first couple of pitcher's worth of water without drinking it. Of course there may have been instances where there was a legitimate issue, but I'd very much bet that if the majority followed the directions that wouldn't be the case. On a separate issue, I'm sure this is obvious but I think it's worth the money to purchase a 6 month filter instead of 2 month filter packs. It'll save you money in the long run even with the greater up- front cost.

To summarize: review the instructions and clean it when necessary, replace the filters when you feel the water is no longer filtered, and there shouldn't be any issues.

5.0 out of 5 starsSeems sturdy enough so far; filter stays in place for me; can be cleaned if you do it right.
January 15, 2019
Style Name: Standard FilterVerified Purchase
I read reviews. Some said the white plastic insert gets stuck inside the clear pitcher and cannot be removed for cleaning; others said the pitcher needs to come to room temperature or warmer for the components to be separated. After many uses, I took the pitcher out of the fridge, poured myself a tall glass of H2O, and, since the pitcher was empty, I left it out, figuring it was time to clean the thing. It came to room temperature. The white piece slid right out. No problem. I read reviews. Some folks said the filter doesn't fit snugly in its slot, and you can watch water seeping around the filter's outer rim and down into the pitcher on the outside of the area where all the water should be going. I made sure the groove on the filter lined up with the plastic slat in the white, top component of the pitcher; then I pushed it in until it was quite snug. No water seeped around the filter. As for durability, I haven't dropped it, but it's not a cheaply made product, imho. As for the water, well I haven't conducted any tests, scientific or otherwise, but it's clear, crisp, and tasty to me, so I assume something good is happening inside this contraption.
