Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42556 Grand 80-Ounce Water Filtration Pitcher, White
Customer Review: Poor Design... Let me count the ways...
Summary: 1 Stars
Too tall, instead of fat, so you can't get it under the tap without contaminating the pitcher bottom from your kitchen sink (usually the germiest place in any kitchen).
Lid-opening button is in a concave area where water sloshes, so unless you wash your hands each time you fill, you're putting germs in with each refill and slosh.
Didn't I buy this to get germs out of water, not put them in!
You can't pour from it while it's filtering, like my old first-generation Brita.
After 2 months the white insert that holds the filter got VERY stuck in the pitcher. No obvious tool would get it out. My choices: make an L-shaped tool to remove it or return the pitcher. I returned it.
I miss my original Brita pitcher!
Customer Review: Very slow to fill
Summary: 2 Stars
This pitcher is tall and as such does not fit under my tiny apartment sinks. This forces me to hold the pitcher at an angle while I fill it. The reservoir does not hold enough water to fill up the pitcher, so you've got to fill up the reservoir, wait for it to filter into the main area and then fill it again. If you choose not to fill the reservoir a second time then you've got approximately two servings of water before you have to fill it up again. So if you like to constantly fill up plastic pitchers this is the product for you! Brita, please make this pitcher wider.Customer Review: Surprisingly Bad
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the 3rd Brita water pitcher I've ever owned. The first two were great (needed a new one because they were left with roommates). This pitcher is unlike them though.
Cons
-Top cover doesn't fit at all, falling off far too easily
-Water leaks out the back handle
-Filter comes loose while pouring
-Bad filter fit means black carbon particles get in to drinking water below
We'll buy another Brita, because we have 4 unused filters and are used to the taste, but hopefully the next model we try will work better.
Customer Review: Love this pitcher!
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite what some of the other reviewers have said, I have had no issues with leaking or spilling water from this pitcher. I have never once spilled water when trying to pour the water from pitcher. The pitcher is easy to fill and will hold a lot of water! The electronic indicator on the top of the pitcher is great so you don't have to try and remember when the filter was last changed.
Overall, this is a huge upgrade from the basic Brita filter that I had previously purchased, and I am so happy with my new Grand Brita Filter!
Customer Review: Poor design
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been using this Brita "Grand Pitcher" for about half a year now, and it constantly irritates me. What I find most maddening is how slowly the purified water pours out. They only allowed a very narrow passageway for the filtered water to exit the pitcher, as you can see in the picture. So to empty the pitcher, you have to just stand there for a while wasting time as it oh-so-slowly trickles out. And if you tilt it too much to encourage it to flow faster, the filter falls out.
Just poorly designed.
