Everyday Elite Water Filter Pitcher, Removes 99% of Lead, Includes 1 Filter, 10-Cup Capacity, White

The idea to go for Elite is no more frequent filter replacement. But it’s meaningless if the indicator doesn’t work. The indicator light was completely off after less than 3 months (most likely end of battery life).

I have been using this Brita 10 cup water pitcher to keep filtered water in the refrigerator, and it has become part of my daily routine. The pitcher holds enough water that I am not constantly refilling it, while still fitting comfortably in the refrigerator door. The filtered water tastes noticeably better than straight tap water, and I like having cold water ready throughout the day. The Everyday Elite filter is easy to install and replace, and the pitcher is simple to refill. The lid stays in place while pouring, and the handle is comfortable to hold even when the pitcher is full. Compared to buying bottled water, this has been a more convenient and cost effective option while also reducing plastic waste. It has encouraged me to drink more water since I always have filtered water available. Pros 1. Improves the taste of tap water 2. Large 10 cup capacity reduces frequent refills 3. Fits well in most refrigerator doors 4. Easy to refill and replace the filter 5. Great alternative to buying bottled water Cons 1. Filtering takes a few minutes after each refill 2. Replacement filters add to the long term cost Overall, this is a reliable water pitcher that is easy to use and works well for everyday hydration. It provides better tasting water, reduces the need for bottled water, and has been a great addition to my kitchen.

I’ve been using the Brita Large 10-Cup Water Filter Pitcher daily, and it’s been great. The size is perfect for the fridge, and I love that I always have clean, great-tasting water ready. The BritaPlus filter noticeably improves the taste and smell of tap water, and the pitcher is easy to fill and pour without leaking. It feels sturdy, simple to use, and makes staying hydrated so much easier. Definitely a solid, reliable choice for everyday use.

Let me start by saying that this was my first Brita and I am extremely happy with this purchase. However, there are some easy mistakes to be made here -- some of which I noticed in other reviews -- and I want to share a few things I learned through the purchase and initial setup process. The most important piece of information I can relay to you is that if you are looking at the 10 Cup Pitcher, there are actually two different models at the same price. I picked the wrong one and it wasn't until I read a review that I realized I should have picked the newer version. Fortunately, I was able to cancel and re-order. The newer version you want is the Pitcher with the SmartLight. You'll notice owners who just purchased their Brita ask why the indicator light is not included. The SmartLight is pretty darn important as it keeps track of the life of your filter, reminding you when it's time to replace it. The next important piece of information I want to share is how much water can be filled in this pitcher. If you read the instructions, it tells you to fill the water to the fill line (there is a tab with a fill line in the top reservoir). If that was all you did, you would notice that you only have 6 cups of water instead of 10. What I didn't realize until I contacted Brita is that you can keep filling the Pitcher after the initial. I measured out 10 cups which took almost two fills. You'll know that you have the measurement right as the water should reside 1 inch below the round part of the top reservoir. Inserting the Elite filter was simple. Just be certain to line up the plastic tabs in the reservoir with the slots in the filter. You should have a snug fit. Push down to make certain it's airtight. Though the Brita is not the best-rated water filter out there (that would go to Zero Water), the new Elite filter lasts 6 months, effectively removes more contaminants than ever before, and as such, situates itself as the best bang-for-the-buck brand. Keep in mind Brita does not filter out fluoride. As someone who is not a fan of the taste of tap water, I was extremely surprised by how good the filtered water tasted. I have finally gotten to the point where I can stop buying expensive cases of plastic bottled water every month, relying solely on my Brita pitcher. One more thing I should add: Customer support is fantastic. I phoned to ask them about how much water can be put in the Pitcher. They answered the phone immediately and were very helpful in answering my question. Don't hesitate to purchase this Brita Pitcher.

Easy to use, quick to filter, big enough capacity so I would recommend All I would say is there are only two of us probably not drinking enough water lol and the filter lasted 4 months. Wish it was easier to get the replacements in the UK too - couldn't find on Amazon. Brita UK is a different franchise and basically their water filters and jugs are a waste of time - they don't filter out any contaminants - just make the water 'taste better' whatever that means!
