Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42378 Deluxe Water Pitcher
Customer Review: replaced broked pitcher
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this pitcher to replace one I had for years that had a broken fill cover. While it looks exactly like my old one, they have changed the design in a couple of ways that I do not care for. When you fill it, it takes longer to go through and when you pour it pours slowly. This might be ok for some but I don't like having to wait so long to fill a small glass for a drink. It just comes out too slow. They restricted the water flow too much.Customer Review: A Good Investment

I have been using this for 4 months now and am very pleased with it. I'm not spending $15-$20/mo for bottled water and contributing to the landfill.
Although the water tastes fine to us now, it took us a few days to get used to it; it definitely didn't taste like bottled water. Also, I was lucky to notice the teeny fine print stating not to use water over 75 degrees. Our "cold" tap water in the summer here in the desert is much warmer than that. So I've had to keep a separate bottle of tap water chilling in the fridge to use in the Brita pitcher.
I haven't had any mechanical problems: nothing leaks, everything fits together well, nothing broken. BTW, the replacement filters here on Amazon at $13.82/3-pack is a good deal--even a few bucks cheaper than Wal-Mart if you buy 2 to qualify for the free shipping.
Customer Review: Win Win Pitcher
Summary: 5 Stars
Buying this pitcher was a "Win Win", No Brainer! We used to buy bottled water in plastic bottles and generated a whole lot of landfill material... not to mention the fuel used by trucks to get those bottles of water to the store... No more! The pitcher actually paid for itself in less then a month!
We liked the pitcher soo much that this one is a gift for our Son who also purchased water in the bottles... he now is enjoying the same savings!
Customer Review: Great!!

This Brita filter is better than I thought it would be. The water tastes PHENOMENAL! I didn't know water could taste sooo good. Recently, my town has decided to add Chlorine to the water, terrible idea. So, I got this Brita filter so I could continue to drink my 8 glasses a day without feeling sick to my stomach because of the Chlorine addition. The only downside to owning a Brita filter is that you must change the filter every 2 months, and that it does get very heavy after you fill up the pitcher. Otherwise, this is perfect, and a great addition to any kitchen.Customer Review: Excellent value, well worth it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in Philadelphia where the water here is, well, not so great. It has a distinct 'taste' to it. I bought this pitcher after dealing with it for a year and me and my 3 roommates agree that this was one of the best investments we made for the apartment. We drink like fish and this pitcher eliminates the 'taste' from the tap water. What's nice about it is that since it is always in the fridge, we always have cold filtered water. Another benefit is how quickly it filters the water. After maybe 5 minutes after refilling the top with tap water, the pitcher is full again. A downside however is that when the water is being filtered and you try to use the pitcher, the top can come off because of the weight. This has only happened once though. All in all, a nice investment if you want clean tasting drinking water.
