Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 35530 Ultramax Dispenser
Customer Review: Perfectly clean water
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't see how people can get mold in this thing. The only way that's going to happen is if you hardly drink water and you let it sit there for a long time. I refill it about once every other day and have no signs of mold anywhere within the unit. The nozzle allows for me to use this water for cooking and it's a lot more handy than a pitcher especially since it holds so much more water. Also, having the electronic filter indicator is great since you don't have to worry about trying to remember when the filter needs to be changed; you just look at the little screen and it lets you know. The only con is that when the water gets really low you have to tilt the unit since the nozzle is positioned slightly higher than the base.Customer Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product sure saves me time not to mention my wrist not having to re-fill a pitcher so often. And of course saves a ton of money as well!
I think maybe even a little safer/healthier as we don't have to use those thin plastic bottles anymore. Great for use for the whole family and they may be more likely to use it now that it's easy to get to in the frig! I also think it will be wonderful for the hot summers coming up.
Customer Review: Excellent product
Summary: 4 Stars
Many of the negative reviews that claim mold problems are actually authored by the same person. After viewing some of his/her reviews of other prodcuts, I noticed another "mold" review for an unrelated product. I think it's safe to say that the reviewer has issues with mold, and that it's not a result of the brita filter.
We've been using this product for 8+ years with no problems whatsoever. Only drawback (other than price - they should give these away for the amount of $$ you'll spend for filters) is that it's heavy when full and awkward to fill.
I just purchased a second unit today to use in our weekend house. Definitely would recommend if you like brita products and are tired of refilling the pitcher constantly.
Customer Review: Great water filter and dispenser
Summary: 5 Stars
I believe I've had this product ever since it first came out. I was given this as a gift back in college by my parents and that was over 10 plus years ago. It still is going strong, not flimsy construction by any means. After all this time, I decided to replace the spigot because the rubber washer was looking worn but was not leaking. Brita has excellent customer service and all I did was email them for a new one and they sent it out asap. Now the unit is as good as new.
In regards to mold that some people are mentioning, I combat that with washing the unit every other or 3rd time it is filled. Anything that is clear that allows light in when water is present and sitting will eventually grow some green stuff. Soap and water take care of it quickly and I use qtips in the creases, corners, and underneath the back of the spigot. Works like a charm. I'm not sure I've ever come across anything maintenance free when it comes to holding water, not even my dogs water bowls so to have that expectation is not realistic.
They do have an insert at the top that allows water to go through so you can take a glass and pour it in the insert to help fill it back up if you want to keep it in the fridge. I didn't care for that method for myself as I'm not a patient person and would rather just fill it up all at one time than little by little so I just put it on my counter and fill it there with the top off. If you think the hole doesn't let enough water in, you can easily open it by shaving off a little plastic with a knife.
Other uses for this other than home use would be picnic, if you have to go elsewhere to work that doesn't have filtration, or perhaps a sports game if you are going for the day.

I love my new Brita Ultramax Dispenser! I have enough cold water all of the time right in my fridge with a handy spout. I did not have good luck with the Brita filter that is attached to the faucet for some reason, so this was the perfect solution for me. It has also helped cut down on my use of and purchase of bottled water. Even though I recycle the plastic bottles, it is still better for the enviornment to cut down the use of them.Brita Ultramax Dispenser
