Brita Small 6 Cup Water Filter Pitcher, 1 Elite Filter, Metro, White

Bought this to filter water for my cats. It really does remove the chlorine smell and “tap water taste”, it takes a couple minutes to filter, but it works well. I dropped it right out of the packaging and it cracked, but it does not leak, so its good quality!

Water tastes SO much better than Zero Water brand plus filters fast and no clogging which is a huge downside to Zero besides the taste.

These Brita Pitchers seem to work well. However, the plastic does not feel as durable (i.e. thick). One arrived cracked at the side near the base. Amazon exchanged. The new pitcher's replacement indicator did not work so Amazon rep told me to switch the working one from the cracked pitcher I was returning. The filter is not covered like my older/different Brita pitcher so you see the blue filter. Not an issue...maybe it reduces unnecessary plastic so I guess that is good. What I do like about this pitcher is the lid. It is a flip lid so you do not need to remove the whole lid when filling it up. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. The exchange process is a little bit of a hassle but not difficult. In regards to the Elite filters vs the basic filters....I cannot say I have noticed a difference, but I have not had an issue with the taste of the Elite filters or the functionality of them. I am rating this four stars because the pitchers are doing what I need them to do, but the two defects above impacted my initial experience (i.e. cracked pitcher & filter indicator not working.)

The filter worked well, but the first one I ordered arrived with a crack, and the replacement also arrived with a crack. 2nd return was denied, be careful.

Good quality water filter, gift for a family of 5! Saves them lots of money purchasing water.

I like that this Brita water filter pitcher is 6 cups because having arthritic hands I have no problem picking it up when it’s full versus a 12 cup which I would never be able to do.

This Brita Metro pitcher has been a better size for our family. The 6-cup capacity makes it much easier for the kids to handle without it feeling too heavy, and honestly, the larger version can be difficult even for me when it is full. This size is more practical for daily use, the water tastes good, and I like that it comes with the blue Elite filter, which feels like a better version than the standard one. Overall, it is a convenient and easy-to-use water pitcher for the whole family.

My friend has a Brita filter that uses the cartridges you need to change more frequently. I liked it, so I bought this one with an elite filter. I like the idea I only have to change this only twice a year. It works well, with some limitations. The things I like is that it does make tap water taste much better, and the light is a nice reminder to change the cartridge, illuminating whenever you pour water from it. The cartridge on my friend's unit seemed to more tightly seal than this one. I noticed some water would drip down outside the filter because it relies on the plastic of the lid and the cartridge to form their own tight seal. You have to press this in VERY hard, and maybe try once or twice, in order to get a watertight seal. Also, I very much dislike the fact that you cannot change the battery in the lid. It works on a simple timer, counting down six months before telling you to change the cartridge. If you use your unit lightly, you should theoretically be able to have the filter last longer than six months (or maybe need to change it sooner if you use it a lot), but the timer doesn't account for that. Also, once that battery is dead, you either need to do without the timer or buy a new pitcher since you cannot replace the battery. But, it works well, so I still give it four stars.

Poor filtration Tds 106 😦 originally was 126 Useless

This product could be faulty, either the filter is imitation or the indicator faulty.

Pitcher has very thin walls and was leaking when we filled it with water. It looks like a design flaw to us given how delicate it looks.

1rst try. So far, so good. The water tastes MUCH better. Leaves a good, clean feeling in your gut.
