Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 35034 2-Gallon UltraMax Water Filtration Dispenser
Customer Review: Overpriced Water Dispenser
Summary: 1 Stars
This product is mostly "Hype". Water ran through their filters tastes and looks exactly as before. You'd have just as good results with a coffee filter. If what you're looking for is just a water dispenser this thing was a nice size. If you're expecting it to make tap water drinkable look towards a real filtering system like reverse osmosis. If you want a decent filtering system you have to be willing to pay for it. In my opinion, this was a rip-off and I feel ashamed for having fell for it.Customer Review: Perfect for high volume usage
Summary: 4 Stars
I had a Brita space-saver pitcher. I was refilling it twice a day. I bought the two gallon dispenser. One of the best choices I made. I use copious amounts of water in cooking and drinking. I have to refill this every 2 days or so (but that's because I'm the only person who uses it). It's worth the investment.Customer Review: Slightly bizarre
Summary: 3 Stars
I have owned several Brita pitchers and decided that it was time to upgrade to the Ultramax. At first blush, the design seems good--it fits into the fridge well and can be easily filled and moved without spilling. One slight annoyance is that the door on my fridge bumps into the spout and pushes the pitcher back on the shelf a bit, so I have to pull the unit forward an inch or two to use it. A more serious problem is that the unit leaks where the spigot is attached to the container. The rate of leakage is great enough to fill a soup bowl in a few days. I emailed Brita about this and several days later received a response telling me to call their 800 number. The rep. asked me if there were rubber seals around the spigot on both the inside and outside of the pitcher, and I responded that my pitcher has a single seal on the inside. Thr rep. advised me that he would send me a new spigot which would come with one rubber seal, and that I should remove this seal from the new spigot and attach to the old spigot on the the outside of the container, so that I would have two seals instead of one. I asked him if this was a common problem, and if the pitchers now being made have two seals. He claimed he had never heard of such a problem before, which I thought was a little strange b/c he developed the solution so quickly and seemed certain that it would work.Customer Review: Ultra-Max
Summary: 5 Stars
On top of holding more water in its main receptacle, the UltraMax holds even more than it seems. With the UltraMax, you can keep the receptacle ON TOP of the filter filled with water as well. This way as you dispense water for drinking, more water filters down into the main receptacle. When you refill, let the water filter down till full, then fill up the top part again. You will find that the unit lasts a very long time bewtween refills. You cannot do this with the pitchers because the water spills out of the top part when you lean them over to pour from them.Customer Review: Ultra/Opti Max
Summary: 5 Stars
I believe I have the Optimax it might be the Ultramax. I find it to be very useful. I just keep a gallon of cold water in the fridge next to the brita and pour it in when it gets low so I always have cold water. You do have to take it out of the fridge to fill it up but it is no bother to me. I drink lots of water so it is very handy to have 2 gallons at my disposal. It can get costly to replace the filters if you drink lots of water. In the end it is better to buy a three pack of filters then to have to drag home a couple of gallons of water.
