 Great taste, more filling. October 25, 2007

The 2-stage filter produces water that tastes so good, I've stopped drinking bottled water (at home, anyway). As a result I find myself filling the pitcher several times a day, much more often than I filled my Brita pitcher.
The functional design of the pitcher, however, could easily be better. Its pour spout is open to the air, while Brita's is covered, leaving the water exposed to dust, as well as to odors in the fridge. It's the equivalent of leaving a bottle of water uncapped all day or longer.
In addition, removing the top in order to add water requires more effort than it should; whoever designed it doesn't seem to have considered that the top must be separated from the filtration chamber. (For that purpose I've developed a technique where I pull the chamber up with my left hand while my right thumb releases the top from it.)
The LED light on top of the lid is activated by pouring, simply by the tilt of the pitcher. It's supposed to measure the amount of water you pour so you know when to get a new filter. If you pour one glass at a time, this will probably give you an accurate measurement. However, if you pour fractions of a glass, or potfulls, or if you tilt the lid when you remove it, it becomes a not very useful gimmick.
Despite the issues with the pitcher, which I hope someone at PUR takes seriously, the quality of the water makes this a product I'd recommend.

I've done research to see how good the water purifiers are, and also how the water they filter is compared to bottle water. I have been purchasing bottled water for a long time now. My findings gave me the surity that the purified water, this system being the best for a picture style water purifier, is good. I am happy with the system after using it for 2 full weeks. The only thing is I'm probably going to look at getting the larger container for home use. This one is great for travel and at work.

I love it! I replaced a Brita Pitcher with this one and it definitely does a better filtering job!
Highly recommend it!

I am delighted(enchanted) with this product, it is necessary to buy it, the drip goes away with a tape of teflon.
Gets the job done! August 31, 2008

I have now used both a faucet mount PUR filter and the PUR pitcher. I guess I have to say that I like them both. The only reason I got the pitcher was because I was sick of the faucet mount getting in my way. But both work equally well. I like the pitcher because it goes in the 'fridge so you have COLD water all the time. With the faucet mount, even though you run cold water through it, it isn't always as cold as from the 'fridge. But then, you don't have to wait for filtered water when you get it through the faucet mount. With the pitcher, you have to wait a little bit for the water to flow through the filter into the pitcher. Also, replacing the PUR pitcher filter is a little easier and a bit less messy than with the faucet mount. But like I said, I like them both, for different reasons.
