This one is much better, and I only have to fill it once ...
September 20, 2016
Not too shabby. I replaced our existing Brita with this one because the previous one didn't have a large enough water reservoir (on the top), so it would take several fill ups to get it to capacity. This one is much better, and I only have to fill it once to fill my Keurig coffee machine. The only complaint I have is I wish the spout wasn't square as it sometimes spreads water everywhere. The solution is to hold it at an angle lol. Just a minor tweak, something only someone living in a 1st world country would notice.
Also, I had to work it a bit to get the lid to click together. I thought it was impossible at first, but I did manage to get it to connect so it was one piece and not flopping around.
With the power invested in me, I declare the removal of a single star for the design defects noted above.

This pitcher was falling apart when I received it.
July 11, 2018
I tried to find a way to communicate to you about my problem, before writing this review, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to reach you directly.
I ordered the 10 cup pitcher on April 11, ‘18.
I didn’t take it out of the box until just recently. I cleaned the pitcher & then put it together, to use. The plastic “clips” that hold the flip-up top, over the fill port, doesn’t fit properly, & the top is loose & keeps popping off. There is also a leak which appears to be coming from somewhere on the handle in the way it’s attached to the body of the pitcher.
It needs to be replaced, but since I can’t find another way to communicate, I’m writing this review. Maybe you’ll see it & fix this ? In the meantime, I need another pitcher, so I’m taking a chance that you’ll see this, or at least that the next one will be made properly. This has been a bit Irritating & disappointing.

I have had many Brita's but this one is awful. It was cheaper than the other Brita's and since this was just going stay in the fridge, it was fine - plus I love the red. The little lid that flips open to fill is always falling off -- it's missing the little ridge that you would gently snap it into place. Also, when you fill it, I always fill right to the absolute top... this one starts to leak before you even reach the top. I have to put it in the sink to fill it or the counter will be soaked. And when you pour, the water just gushes out... you really have to pour gently. There is also a sticky glue like stuff from the top of the spot to the bottom of the canister - like it was fixed post production. I would have sent this back right away had I known all of this in time --- but I had no immediate need for it when it arrived, so it sat in the box used for quite a long time. This is knock against all of Brita, please don't assume that - I love their products... just not this particular one.

I bought this as a replacement for another Brita pitcher that lasted 6 years. It was a month or so after I bought it that I started using it. Less than 5 months later, it is leaking around the filter. We have chlorinated water that we use this to get rid of the taste for, but you can still taste it in the 'filtered' water. We replaced the cartridges several times thinking maybe we got a bad pack, but noticed with the last two filters that water is running down the side of the filter rather than dripping through it.
So now we've thrown out 3 likely good (and brand new) filters because of this terrible pitcher. I would give it 0 stars if possible.
*edit: This pitcher is hand washed only, with mild soap and dried every 1-2 weeks. I don't shove the filter down or flex the plastic at all.
Update: We received a new pitcher from Brita. Their customer Service is awesome. However, the problem still exists that the water drains around the filter and not through it. The filters in this pitcher do not socket into place like they used to in the old pitchers, they just sit in loosely and leak.
**This pitcher just does not work.**

Flip top keeps flopping off, bad design I would recommend the "Brita Extra Large 18 Cup Filtered Water Dispenser" instead holds way more and is much more functional than this one.

This is my third BRITA pitcher. I LOVE THEM! But I'm very disappointed in this new one I just bought. Two issues! Very disappointing. The filter change indicator, which flips up to add water to begin the filtering process, does not stay attached. Grrrrrrr. The second problem is the spout to pour the filtered water into a container. It is not a stream, but a flood. I have to fill my water bottles in the sink AND lose at least a whole bottle full of filtered water when doing this several times. When filling my coffeepot, water goes all over the counter and on the floor. I know I could refill the reservoir in the sink, too, but since I've never had this issue before, I forget when I refill the water reservoir. Ugh. I have written to the company and hope they send me a new one. Heck, I could take my hubby out for a nice dinner with how much these things cost. So. So. So. Disappointing. I've LOVED the others and they were perfect!
OK but pours out too fast compared to older versions. Also bad to have lithium battery embedded in top.
June 25, 2018Pours out too fast compared to the older versions of the same pitcher. Wider swath of water comes out. Suspect this is intentional - causes a small percentage more water to be used and/or spilled.... meaning..... more filters bought over the lifetime.
Also dont like having an item with lithium battery embedded in the top. That makes the top part into toxic waste rather than recyclable plastic.

This is your standard Brita filter. It is nothing special, but is large in size if that's what you are looking for. You cannot really pour water until the filtering area is mostly empty, otherwise that water seeps out from this area. The filter needs to be replaced more frequently than I would like, which is why I subtracted a star.

Basically garbage. I like the large capacity, but many negatives
1. Likely to overpour and go all over
2. Top frequently falls off, doesn't locked in.
3. Filter seemed to very quickly conc out much faster than prior filters
4. It wasn't dishwasher safe. The thing cracked when I tried to clean it.
So basically terrible. Buy something else

Wanna put more plastic into the waste stream, super fast? Buy this cheap piece of super-thin, easily breakable garbage! Unless you have no kids, no husbands, no bumping accidents ever, this is not the pitcher for you. I had one of these years ago and the plastic was thicker and sustained several drops from the counter over a couple years' time. Whether the company has decided to cheap out and make the plastic thinner and/or brittle and more likely to break/crack in that time, I don't know, but I had this pitcher less than a month before the top fell off the counter while I was washing the base and just cracked from top to bottom of the top portion. And I have marmoleum now, which is kinder to glass and plastic drops than the ceramic tile I had then. I now use the bottom portion to water my potted plants. Lord knows what I'll do with all the expensive filters I bought.
I recommend a metal water filter (something like a Berkey, if you are curious about what I mean) when, inevitably, your cheap, brittle Brita breaks. Metal ones are lots more expensive, but you'll only have to buy one. Nice because you can fill refillable bottles and not buy all those plastic individual bottles. You may get the purchase price back in a year, depending on how much water you buy. No, I don't have any stock in any water filters. I'm just irritated.
On another note, and separate from my dissatisfaction and anger with the Brita company: If you live in the PNW and you have any concerns about The Big One, the earthquake that might soon, essentially, separate everyone west of I-5 from the rest of the country and from utilities, like tap water, for a month or two, a more effective, larger water filter for stream and rainwater might be a good idea anyway. Not a prepper! Just someone who read The New Yorker article a few years ago and went through just 10 days of deep snow that brought us no power and no cable and no wifi. No fun.
