Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42378 Deluxe Water Pitcher
Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
First I'd like to say... if you can't lift a few quarts of water then do not buy a water pitcher.
This pitcher/filter works great! It does exactly as it claims... it filters the water.
Pro's to having a Brita filtering water pitcher:
Clean, drinkable water.
No more lugging cases of bottled water up to my apartment.
No more being responsible for filling the landfills with plastic bottles.
Saves money!
Water pitcher + aluminum sports bottle = convience
Less likely to get cancer.
Cons:
Have to turn on tap and fill pitcher.
Customer Review: Water tastes great! Pitcher needs some work.
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had my Brita Deluxe pitcher for about a yea and I would not be without one again. It saves me from the time, expense, hassle and waste of buying bottled water (the water that comes out of my tap is almost undrinkable due to it's taste). However, I have had some problems with this model:
* Low capacity
Even for a single guy I find that I am constantly refilling it
* Filter falls out
When I tip it over all of the way the filter comes out and forces the lid off
* Carbon specks
Not a big deal but the filters "leak" little black flecks of carbon into the water reserve and that bothers me for some reason
* Not dishwasher safe
* Filters are not cheap
I just ordered the larger "Ultramax" size and I think that I will like it better. I'm not worried about mold since I will go through a gallon or more in a day and I will wipe it after prior to refilling it.

Customer Review: Great price and works well
Summary: 5 Stars
For $25 Amazon has a great price for this Brita pitcher. The prep for these pitchers is more than I thought but easy. You can't just pour water in and start drinking. You have to soak the filter for 15 minutes, wash the pitcher in and out, then run two full pitchers before drinking your first cup.
The water does taste different than my tap. This pitcher requires two full reservoirs to fill the pitcher. The reservoir filters water in about 3-4 minutes.
A filter is supposed to last 2 months (at two full pitchers a day). Amazon sells a 3 pack for about $17, so about $5.50 for a month's worth of purified water.
Customer Review: The best thing that could happen to water.

This product is an excellent value. I purchased one because I was tired of buying jug after jug of spring water, and I didn't care for the taste of my city water. This pitcher makes it delicious, and pays for itself quickly.Customer Review: Brita

Excellent item. Purchased via Amazon.com because the item is no longer in production and not available through local merchants. This pitcher is of a capacity we desired and fits easily in our refridgerator.
