Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42364 SpaceSaver Pitcher
Customer Review: Lid is crap!
Summary: 2 Stars
I had my old Brita pitcher for over 5 years and decided to get a new one. I bought 3 of these 6 cup pitchers and the lid kept falling off every one of them. The plastic is much weaker and the workmanship is horrible compared to my original Brita. The last one I bought tonight has a lid that doesn't even fit on the pitcher. Take this piece of crap off the market and start making the old design with the better materials!Customer Review: Great filtering- TERRIBLE pitcher
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, the water's terrific -- but no matter how many times we try to asemble, reassemble and figure out the architecture of the pitcher, the thing leaks when you pour -- and leaks a lot. So it's essentially useless. I wonder what rocket scientist designed such a device. Maybe they can get a job at NASA.
Customer Review: Compact, but poorly designed
Summary: 2 Stars
If you fill the water reservoir to full, it spills down the handle. Also, the lid doesn't stay on so a rubberband is currently holding it on. Looks tacky, but the only fix I could think of.Customer Review: terrible product
Summary: 1 Stars
Got this for Christmas '10 and just as other reviewers have stated, the lid doesn't stay on at all. The first time I tried to pour I thought it was "user error" so tried again. And then again - this time over the sink. And every single time the lid fell right off at any attempt to pour - and I was filling it less than half full! I can't even imagine the mess a full pitcher made for the poor souls that made the seemingly logical assumption that a pitcher, any pitcher, would have a secure fitting top.
Just as bad, along with the top falling off, the whole filtration insert begins to slide out too, so if by some chance you started pouring and thought "oh, caught it!", just wait one more second and the whole insert will fall out and you'll have your giant mess again.
I honestly thought I must have a defective one and so I came on here to check reviews and see if others had the same 'defect'. Now that I know it's just plain old shoddy design, I will be returning it and NOT getting another.
Customer Review: Avoid this model COMPLETELY!
Summary: 1 Stars
Very bad design of the lid fit. It's true what the other detractors report. The lid will actually warp over time and will 'rocker' back and forth from front to back and never seal properly. This will cause the lid to fall off while attempting a pour unless you hold the lid in place with your free hand. Don't attempt a pour with water in the upper resevoir as it will also pour out due to the improper lid fit. The rear of the upper resevoir is 'notched' so if too much water is added to the resevoir it will begin leaking into the handle which is hollow. The color strip on the handle is only a snap on piece of plastic. Any water which overflows into the handle will leak out rather soon all over your counter or where ever you've happened to set the pitcher. I don't see how Brita could have possibly tested this pitcher design before its release. I did complain to Brita and they did send me a new unit which is identical in deficientcy as the first unit. I am totally underwhelmed.
