Brita Water Pitcher, Metro Elite Filter, Removes 99% of Lead, Includes 1 Filter, 6-Cup Capacity, White

I’m officially done with the cost and waste of bottled water. This Brita Metro pitcher is exactly what I was looking for. The black finish looks high-end on the counter, and the 6-cup capacity is the ideal size—it’s light enough to pour comfortably with one hand while still holding plenty of water. What stands out: Modern Aesthetic: It has a very clean, minimalist look that doesn't clutter up the space. BritaPlus Performance: You can really taste the difference. The water is incredibly refreshing and clean, with zero chlorine smell or metallic aftertaste. Smart Design: The locking lid is a game-changer (no more accidental spills while pouring), and the electronic filter indicator takes the guesswork out of maintenance. It’s a simple, affordable upgrade that looks great and pays for itself in a few weeks. If you want better-tasting water without a bulky eyesore, this is the one.

I've had this pitcher for 9 months now & it still works wonderfully! The Brita filter lasted 7-8 months for one person using average 1 & 1/2 a day (I know, I should be drinking more). The color indicator never seemed to turn yellow, but the green seemed to flash slower, then one day it was flashing red - and there was a difference in taste. So maybe be ready with another filter instead of waiting to buy one until you see the yellow. I did buy a knockoff brand filter replacement & there's enough of a difference in taste (& most likely longevity) that I am DEFINITELY staying with the BRITA brand filter from now on. FYI - the Brita filter did need to be 'burped' about 3 times toward the beginning (water was not percolating through, so I just ran my finger across the top of the filter to get it going) - & now that I've had the lower quality knockoff that has not needed burping, I consider that a GOOD quality instead of bad. Also, I'm glad I waited this long to give a review because in the beginning, I was wondering how the plastic was going to hold up & it has! The hard plastic 'felt' like it would be more brittle, so I tried to be careful not to bang it pulling it out of the fridge etc. But it HAS happened enough times & I've inspected it, for me to realize that it's durable! I also noticed that it's AIRTIGHT - not sure if that's the word for it - but it never produced any little mold spots INSIDE the pitcher! When I did see one or two, they formed at the very top edge where tap water droplets strayed while filling it. When I noticed that, I learned from my lesson & made sure to have the pitcher open & ready to be filled directly instead of allowing any stray water droplets to happen. As per instructions, I also don't leave the flip top open while it's percolating. I close it then open again to fill to fill line (the little protrusion) a 2nd time. I've also noticed to be careful not to touch the pour spout on anything since tiny mold spots can occur there. Otherwise, I've left it in the fridge without the need to clean it out (no signs or smells of bacteria inside) all those months. There is ONE thing that I would like for them to change in the design, but it's not bad enough to take off a star. The flip top, although it opens easily, also CLOSES too easily. I flip it with my thumb while holding the handle, but then when I barely move my thumb it hits it closed again. I hate when that happens because then the tap water splashes across the top between the pitcher & filter top or the spout to potentially produce tiny mold spots. I have to constantly remind myself to be careful flipping the top & totally take my hands away & have the tap placed squarely over the open area before turning on the water. There's enough room between faucet & pitcher that I can flip it closed again right away for it to percolate. I LOVE that the percolating process doesn't take too long either! Although it does percolate faster with the knockoff filter - another sign the knockoff doesn't work as well.

I’ve been using the Brita Water Purifier for a while now, and it has made a noticeable difference in the taste and quality of our drinking water. The filter effectively reduces chlorine taste, odor, and other impurities, making the water fresher and cleaner.

I like that it's not too tall or bulky. its slim design can easily fit in the refrigerator. I noticed the top doesn't perfectly align and the pitcher only fills so high. It really doesn't go higher than the round base of the filter. The kit came with one filter so that was nice. I like that this version of the Brita filter pitcher includes a smartlight filter change indicator. Unfortunately, everytime you empty water, even if it's a small amount to pour into a glass it counts that towards the filter replacement counter. For example, if you pour the entire pitcher out or if you pour only a small amount into a glass, they both seem to count the same. We've used it for about a month and a half. The light indicator started blinking yellow last week, indicating it's almost time to replace the filter. I'm guessing we'll get about two months out of it and need to replace the filter. If that's true, it's about a new filter every two months which equals about six filters a year. It's definitely an investment. Going forward I might have purchased a larger pitcher instead of this slim one but the slim one doesn't take up a lot of space. So it really depends on what your personal needs are regarding filtered water. It says it can't take water hotter than 85 degrees, so if I boil water I usually let it cool down first, below 85 and then pour it into the pitcher to get really pure water. This is my personal experience, might not be for everyone. Depends on where you live and what what is like in your state or country. Note, it doesn't say it eliminates bacteria or other waterborne pathogens like E. Coli. It says it cuts the taste and odor of chlorine, reduces copper, cadium, and mercury impurities. Overall it's a good product.

Worth the money and very durable. The water actually taste different. I believe it has a perfect size not too small not too big.

I originally got this as a gift but I also ended up purchasing one for myself so I figured I'd give a review to help those out there. I love this filter! It works great, really makes me feel good about drinking water. Each filter lasts quite a while, and it's super easy to change out once the filter is done. It's easy to clean, it's easy to use, it's durable, and holds quite a bit of water despite being small enough for it to be easy to store. 10/10!

had it for 2 weeks now and would say it’s done a pretty great job! It’s definitely better than having water bottles thrown out every time.

Poor filtration Tds 106 😦 originally was 126 Useless

My water tastes like calcium and it clean it right up and it tastes wayyy better now!!

I've been using this for a couple of years now, with great results. Very durable, functional design for pouring and refilling. Both the regular 3 month and 6 month premium filter refills fit nicely into it.

This Brita pitcher is the perfect size for daily use and fits well in the fridge. The Smart Light indicator is a great feature that reminds you when to change the filter, and it really improves the taste of tap water by reducing chlorine. Simple, reliable, and effective.
