Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42378 Deluxe Water Pitcher
Customer Review: Great price and works well
Summary: 5 Stars
For $25 Amazon has a great price for this Brita pitcher. The prep for these pitchers is more than I thought but easy. You can't just pour water in and start drinking. You have to soak the filter for 15 minutes, wash the pitcher in and out, then run two full pitchers before drinking your first cup.
The water does taste different than my tap. This pitcher requires two full reservoirs to fill the pitcher. The reservoir filters water in about 3-4 minutes.
A filter is supposed to last 2 months (at two full pitchers a day). Amazon sells a 3 pack for about $17, so about $5.50 for a month's worth of purified water.
Customer Review: Great product

This Brita Pitcher works just as my old one did, however it is much bigger which, for me, is great. Because of its size it might be a bit heavy for some to handle. I like the fact it is bigger because I use a lot of filtered water and I don't have to keep filling it as often as I did the smaller one.Customer Review: Great tasteless water
Summary: 4 Stars
This one works. The only problem is the ability to measure 40 gallons (the amount that can be filtered efficiently by a filter for the pitcher). I use it for a couple of months for 2 people at home.
The black specks people complain about is surely there even after the first few uses but they are restricted to the top container and doesnt get into the drinking water below.
Overall a decent buy.
Customer Review: Great water, bad pitcher
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my second Brita pitcher. I love the water. However this pitcher has some design flaws and would not recommend it. The first Brita pitcher I owned was designed to remove the lid when filling, but could be filled to the top and the lid replaced. The flip lid pitcher will start leaking tap water into the filtered water part of the pitcher if the unfiltered reservoir is filled near the top. The other issue I have with this pitcher is that since the top is not one piece, when pouring out filtered water top there is a risk of the top falling off and the water spilling everywhere from the unfiltered reservoir if it is more than half way full. The way around this to hold the top with the non pouring hand and make sure the unfiltered water reservoir at top isn't more than half full. The first pitcher I mentioned also required both hands if the unfiltered reservoir were close to full, but all in all it was a much better fit.
Again, I would not recommend this model and I still don't know whey Brita discontinued the other model, but I think there are better models in the Brita product line that are better than this pitcher design.
Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
First I'd like to say... if you can't lift a few quarts of water then do not buy a water pitcher.
This pitcher/filter works great! It does exactly as it claims... it filters the water.
Pro's to having a Brita filtering water pitcher:
Clean, drinkable water.
No more lugging cases of bottled water up to my apartment.
No more being responsible for filling the landfills with plastic bottles.
Saves money!
Water pitcher + aluminum sports bottle = convience
Less likely to get cancer.
Cons:
Have to turn on tap and fill pitcher.
