Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42364 SpaceSaver Pitcher
Customer Review: Hate the spout!
Summary: 1 Stars
This Brita pitcher leaves much to be desired. I never write these reviews, but just had to for this one. Yes, the filtration system leaves the water tasting great, BUT....
1. It leaks a little.
2. There is often a little bit of charcoal residue in the bottom of the pitcher AFTER soaking for 15 minutes and rinsing any visible residue off and fitting into the space very securely.
3. I hate the spout.!!! About a quarter of the time I go to pour myself a glass of water, the spout stays shut and water goes all over the counter or floor in front of the fridge, or wherever I am pouring water into something.
I wont' be buying this brand again.
Customer Review: Brita pitcher
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the 2-quart model so that it's not so heavy when pouring out the water. Actually, it's two quarts if you also count the amount of water that's in the top part of the pitcher, before it is filtered.
In the past I've used the Brita Ultramax with the spigot so that it's easier to dispense water but I found that mold grew too quickly on that (on the spigot). With the 2-quart model sometimes I get a small amount of black mold around the edges of the lid but I wash out the pitcher at least weekly and that helps.
I think Brita is great. It's been in our household for years and makes the water taste great.
Customer Review: The worst design ever.
Summary: 1 Stars
This product should get the award for "Worst Product Design." We bought this pitcher a couple of years ago and now are looking to replace it. It leaks when you pour water from it. Sometimes, the entire top falls off and water pours all over the counter. Water also collects inside the handle, which makes me wonder if bacteria isn't also growing in there (this water can make its way back into the pitcher.
The Brita company has been around for a while--one would expect that they could design a water pither that does what it's supposed to do: pour water. It's as if they designed this pitcher and never bothered to test it out.

Summary: 1 Stars
I had the regular Brita pitcher for years and loved it. We've just moved and our kitchen is pretty small, so we thought we'd get the space saver... BAD IDEA. a) the lid falls off when you pour the water -- or when you pick it up, or when you fill it... the lid just doesn't stay on, b) it leaks, and c) although I soaked the filter, I still get little pieces of charcoal in the water. Argh. I wish I had my receipt and the original packaging so I could return this, but because I've used the brand for years, I assumed I could trust the quality.Customer Review: For better or worse?

Doesn't anyone else get charcoal residue in the bottom of their pitcher? I do and so does our neighbor. I've even made sure to run water thru a new filter more than the recommended number of times. There is still a fine accumulation of charcoal powder in the bottom of the pitcher. You can write your name in it. The company admits to it, but there are even floating chunks of charcoal in the top chamber. Can't they design it so this doesn't happen. Make you wonder if it's better to drink the water straight from the tap!
