Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42364 SpaceSaver Pitcher
Customer Review: Great gift for that special someone you just can't stand and wish were dead.
Summary: 1 Stars
DO NOT BUY THIS WATER PITCHER. As the other reviews stated, no matter how I try the lid falls off while pouring, making a huge mess. Just what I need before going to bed and pouring a glass of water. Who is the design challenged boob that came up with this thing? And why is Brita Co. selling this pitcher when it is so obviously flawed? Is it really that hard to design a water pitcher that pours water? My guess is that somehow this pitcher went into production before quality testing and now Brita needs to get rid of them. They should do the right thing and take it off the shelves. Total waste of money. This is a great pitcher to give someone as a practical joke, or to someone you wish ill. Also, I find that most Brita filters leave charcoal swimming in the water. And yes, I soak them for 15-20 minutes and rinse them well before installing into pitcher. Never had much luck with Brita pitchers or filters, but this one is by far the worst design ever conceived.Customer Review: poor and cheap design on space saver pitcher

This pitcher is poorly designed, from the top to the pitcher itself. The top is flimsy and doesn't stay on if you bump it in the slightest way, even if you thought you have it set in place. The water sloshes out when you fill it and try to place it back in the fridge or wherever. Worse, when pouring the water the top tends to fall off, and break apart too, so now we have to hold it on there while pouring.
The pitcher feels like it would crack if you dropped it or knocked it against the faucet, with sharp edges around the top.
We had the same type of brita pitcher before getting this one, I paid the same for it a couple of years ago but the whole thing was much sturdier. The top was much more substantial.
Buy a better model even if it costs more, I wish I did!
Customer Review: I Will Never Buy This Again: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
My Brita SpaceSaver Pitcher is a daily hassle. I drink and otherwise use a lot of water, and was pleased with a different Brita pitcher that I broke. The SpaceSaver does in fact save space, but after that, it is nothing but trouble.
It leaks.
The entire top falls off, and water spills.
Water flows into the handle.
The flap falls off.
The inside area where I first pour water is quick to grow mold.
In short, even though mine still works, I will be replacing it and throwing this onw out. I would not even give my current one away. It will be used by the recycling plant. Maybe they can turn the plastic into grocery bags.
Shame on Brita for selling faulty kitchen equipment.

Customer Review: Leaves a lot to be desired....
Summary: 1 Stars
I will echo again what others have said:
1. The lid will not stay on this thing.
2. Many times when attempting to pour from the pitcher, the hinged lid on the spout is stuck shut and water spills out the sides and around the lid all over the floor.
3. If you happen run too much water into the top reservoir when filling, water spills over into the hollow plastic handle on the pitcher. It will then slowly drip out (all over your fridge or on your floor) until it all finally runs out.
Frustration!!! The filter and pitcher are expensive enough that this should be a better product for the $$. Will definitely look for something with a better design when I've used up the filters on this one.
Customer Review: Hate the spout!
Summary: 1 Stars
This Brita pitcher leaves much to be desired. I never write these reviews, but just had to for this one. Yes, the filtration system leaves the water tasting great, BUT....
1. It leaks a little.
2. There is often a little bit of charcoal residue in the bottom of the pitcher AFTER soaking for 15 minutes and rinsing any visible residue off and fitting into the space very securely.
3. I hate the spout.!!! About a quarter of the time I go to pour myself a glass of water, the spout stays shut and water goes all over the counter or floor in front of the fridge, or wherever I am pouring water into something.
I wont' be buying this brand again.
