Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42556 Grand 80-Ounce Water Filtration Pitcher, White
Customer Review: Fixed brita lid
Summary: 3 Stars
So I got the same problem with the lid not sealing properly. I solved the problem by heating up water in a bowl so its really hot and then pushing the end of the lid that touches the handle until it sits properly. Now it fits perfect. Would of rated higher if brita shipped it with the lid already fittingCustomer Review: Does its job despite a stupid design flaw
Summary: 3 Stars
Like many other reviewers here, I experience similar problems with the flap covering the pour spout sticking, and thus causing spillage. While it is certainly an adequate filter, I think you'd be better off looking at a different model.Customer Review: Spills Galore
Summary: 2 Stars
I agree with the reviewers citing a sticking spout cover and too-loose lid which floods the counter or floor if you haven't gotten in the habit of pouring over the sink yet. Others said the lid comes off if the tap water hasn't completely filtered through to the clear holding portion of the pitcher. I can top that by a little; the lid comes off frequently when pouring even when the upper reservoir is long emptied. Why? The filter cartridge will not stay locked down and comes tumbling out, knocking the lid off. Also, when you open the lid to fill the reservoir, the lid falls out or in, every time without fail. Consequently you have to hold the fill lid while filling and pouring. It is also required that you manually check that the pour spout is not sticking, or the the filter will pop out, the top will pop off, and you won't have to wonder when you'll find the time to mop the floor or wipe the counters. This is my third water filter pitcher, my first Brita (I've had it since last summer, but hate the idea that I wasted my money).
------Regarding the reviewers who often blame the user: maybe you got a good one. But I really dislike being told I'm doing it correctly...it's a water pitcher and I'm not 10 years old.
Customer Review: Very slow to fill
Summary: 2 Stars
This pitcher is tall and as such does not fit under my tiny apartment sinks. This forces me to hold the pitcher at an angle while I fill it. The reservoir does not hold enough water to fill up the pitcher, so you've got to fill up the reservoir, wait for it to filter into the main area and then fill it again. If you choose not to fill the reservoir a second time then you've got approximately two servings of water before you have to fill it up again. So if you like to constantly fill up plastic pitchers this is the product for you! Brita, please make this pitcher wider.Customer Review: Poor design
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been using this Brita "Grand Pitcher" for about half a year now, and it constantly irritates me. What I find most maddening is how slowly the purified water pours out. They only allowed a very narrow passageway for the filtered water to exit the pitcher, as you can see in the picture. So to empty the pitcher, you have to just stand there for a while wasting time as it oh-so-slowly trickles out. And if you tilt it too much to encourage it to flow faster, the filter falls out.
Just poorly designed.
