Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42378 Deluxe Water Pitcher
Customer Review: Who designed this thing?
Summary: 1 Stars
Like others have said:
1. The spout cover sticks and spills water everywhere when it does.
2. If you fill the entire reservoir it will spill out the back of the pitcher near the handle.
3. The 'indicator' is just a timer. Don't be fooled.
4. The top barely fits on the pitcher. Don't even THINK about pouring a glass of water before its finished filtering the water in the top.
All in all this pitcher was a huge disappointment. I owned the previous model for years and was happy with it. Water tastes fine but that's the easy part (its a carbon filter...not hard to design and make).
Prepare your kitchen for wetness...
Customer Review: Worth your money
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a water tasting pro, but the difference btwn Brita filtered water and tap water is highly noticeable. Brita filtred water taste great for me and my 3 rooommates.
It fits well in the fridge, it's easy to refill under the sink, it's durable, easy to maintain, easy to start using...
The only consideration with this particular filter is that it's inexpensive so it's not designed for heavy usage. Four people use my Brita filter and a full filter could only fill about three large glasses. Thus, if four people are going to use this filter, they will have to refill many times to keep its water supply adequate for everyone else.
Customer Review: Brita 10 cup Grand model Pitcher ( 60258 42556 on bar code)
Summary: 1 Stars
After having enjoyed my original Brita Pitcher for many years I
thought I would try this new 10 cup model with digital timer built in reminding you to replace filters.
This is an awful pitcher to use, simply tilting it allows the filter to just fall out allowing the unfiltered water to fall in to the filtered water whereas my old model it was snug and fit tight.
I cant even believe Brita would release such a lousy pitcher. after reading the reviews it seems others have experienced exactly the same problem.
Oh well its going back to the store where I purchased it and will be looking for alternatives to Brita products.
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: Love the filter, buy the Brita 2-Gallon UltraMax instead
Summary: 2 Stars
If you can spare a little more room in your fridge I HIGHLY recommend buying the 2-Gallon UltraMax instead. It is also by Brita but the lies flat on the shelf and has a easy to use tap. MUCH MUCH better for kids and anyone else who has trouble gracefully lifting 3 quarts of liquid with one hand (read: most everyone). With this design you simply open the door and fill using the tap. With the pitcher models, the tilt and weight tend to be awkward and I think spill or overpour about 30% of the time -- especially in the middle of the night. The Ultra Max hold about 2 1/2 times the water (less refilling) and costs only $3 more.
