Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42557 Riviera Water Pitcher, White
Customer Review: Good water filter but has flaws
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this model by looking at the reviews above when I got it home and started to use it I was disappointed with the cover when you pour the water out it does not pour smooth in fact the cover will either pop off or the water will splash out when being poured ending up on the floor. The digital change filter indicator is a joke it does not tell you if you have actually need to change the filiter it is like a calender and in 2 weeks a bar will be removed. The pitcher it self is very ackward to handle. The water is good but there is a after taste.The replacement filters are a little on the expensive side Not worth the moneyCustomer Review: I like the indicator but not the pitcher.
Summary: 3 Stars
The indicator works well although it's a bit over-engineered. It would have been fine to provide a mechanical indicator into which you dial the expiration date of the filter. This would last forever as opposed to the (claimed) 5-year lifespan of the electronic indicator. The pitcher is a different story. Not nearly as well made as other Brita pitchers. The thumb level to open the pitcher is awkward. You must be careful not to fill the reservoir above the indicator line. The hinged flap on the front of the pitcher has enough resistance so that it does not swing open automatically.Customer Review: This is good stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I received the Brita as a wedding gift. We absolutely love it. We live in Southern California and the tap water really is awful, we were living off of Arrowhead but now we actually prefer our Brita. The water gets so cold, and filters through so quick and very very easy to use. The amount of money we save off bottled water is incredible. The filters are reasonable and we buy them in bulk at Costco. Its about a years supply for $25.00. You certainly couldn't say that about Bottled Water. I hope you enjoy!Customer Review: Awkward

The filters are nice. I owned an older model that I liked but this one is a disappointment. The lids fall off, the water spills out and the shape makes it uncomfortable to hold the weight. Maybe it would be okay if you don't put it in the door of the refrigerator, but that is what the slim design is supposed to be for. I wish manufacturers would actually take their product home and try it before they market it. I'll probably be frustrated one day and through it out.Customer Review: Brita Pitcher Cascade Model
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this filter pitcher. It's an economical alternative to on-the-faucet continuous filtration systems. My city's highly chlorinated, hard, somewhat fishy tasting water from the Mississippi comes out of the pitcher odor free and tasting better than any bottled water I've bought. Just don't drop anything when cleaning. The top is fragile and I suppose the pitcher body also. I highly recommend this product.
