Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42412 Atlantis Water Pitcher
Customer Review: It tastes like it works, i hope
Summary: 4 Stars
This filtration pitcher is the only one I have ever had, tried, or used. If you buy this you need to get the filters with the color indicator that tells you when to change it. I made the mistake of buying filters without it and after the filter has died, you can usually tell by the taste (which is really bad). this is a good price. it is very easy to fill. it takes a little while to filter the water, maybe a little longer than I would like. At my house, 8 cups of water is gone in no time though. If you have a family, it is probably smarter to buy a little bigger one. but the good thing is that it doesn't take up much room in the fridge and it is easy to pour.Customer Review: Good Brita product after a bad one
Summary: 4 Stars
I previously reviewed here the Brita 42364 SpaceSaver Pitcher. It had a problem with a lid that would not stay on. We stayed with that pitcher for two months to see if it was tolerable. Nope. We ended up retiring the bad one to the garage to pour random liquids. This one does what we need...and the lid stays on. The one feature the bad pitcher has that this one does not is the filter replacement dial reminder in the lid. This pitcher has a plastic sticker like the oil change reminder they stick on the inside of your car windshield. Kind of makes you wonder what goes on inside the product design world at Brita. Sort of random.Customer Review: Careful not to over-fill
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this product, and use it daily in the store I own. This is how my employees and I get our filtered water - saving the environment from all the plastic bottles, and my bank account from premium delivery service!
The only reason I give it a 4 star rating is because if you over-fill the top, or even fill it to where I believe is the correct level and hold it slightly tipped toward the back, it will leak out the handle area up on top. I know it does this, so I watch it...but my employees are not always so careful. If it were more contained in this one area, it would be a perfect product.
Customer Review: i'm satisfied
Summary: 4 Stars
water doesn't taste quite as good as ozarka spring (from the smaller, hard-plastic bottles). but when cold, taste is still good enough for me. much, much, MUCH easier than lugging home those gallon jugs. also a lot cheaper. plus, after reading some of the reports about bottled waters, i'm beginning to doubt if it is any better than tap with regards to bacteria and other chemicals. in fact, consumerreports.com reports that some of the plastic containers, especially the type used in 1 gallon jugs, can contaminate the water.Customer Review: Saves money on bottled water.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this pitcher for just over a week, and I'm happy with the taste of the water it filters. I'll definitely be spending much less on bottled water.
As other reviewers have pointed out, though, the filter does not lock in and so it's quite easy for it to slip out when you're filling/pouring from the pitcher. It takes some getting used to. Also, when pouring, you must do it carefully as pouring too quickly makes the water go everywhere due to that little "flap" over the spout.
