Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42557 Riviera Water Pitcher, White
Customer Review: The water spots on the chrome parts are hard to polish.
Summary: 2 Stars
If you're interested in the Chrome model to match your stainless steel appliances be prepared to constantly polish it due to the water spots. My friend owns one and at first I was envious, but now I rather be less fashionable than freak out over the visible water spots. This model has the same shape as the Riviera and as I stated in my other review althought it is ergonomic, the Riviera collects algae on the bottom of the pitcher so I would be skeptical in buying this one.
The only reason I gave it two stars because it ultimately looks cool but you can't avoid the water spots and it may be algae friendly.
Customer Review: Good water filter but has flaws
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this model by looking at the reviews above when I got it home and started to use it I was disappointed with the cover when you pour the water out it does not pour smooth in fact the cover will either pop off or the water will splash out when being poured ending up on the floor. The digital change filter indicator is a joke it does not tell you if you have actually need to change the filiter it is like a calender and in 2 weeks a bar will be removed. The pitcher it self is very ackward to handle. The water is good but there is a after taste.The replacement filters are a little on the expensive side Not worth the moneyCustomer Review: Awkward
Summary: 2 Stars
The filters are nice. I owned an older model that I liked but this one is a disappointment. The lids fall off, the water spills out and the shape makes it uncomfortable to hold the weight. Maybe it would be okay if you don't put it in the door of the refrigerator, but that is what the slim design is supposed to be for. I wish manufacturers would actually take their product home and try it before they market it. I'll probably be frustrated one day and through it out.Customer Review: Brita Riviera Pitcher with digital change filter indicator
Summary: 2 Stars
The digital change filter indicator was the attraction to this pitcher however I find that the hinged cover over the pouring lip tends to stick. This makes it difficult to get a good stream for pouring. I had the previous pitcher without the digital indicator and probably will return to using it. The filtering system itself is great and I highly recommend a different model of the Brita.Customer Review: If I could give this product zero stars, I would.
Summary: 1 Stars
Please do not waste your money on this particular Brita pitcher. The slimline "chrome" pitcher is the biggest piece of junk. I'm glad I got it on sale, so it's not as painful as spending $47.00 for the thing.
Pros:
1. Slim look, fits nicely in fridge for cold filtered water.
Cons:
1. Very poorly made, the top is VERY flimsy.
2. If the top is filled too full, it spills unfiltered water into the filtered water at the bottom of the pitcher.
3. If there is water in the top of the pitcher, it will get poured into your water glass along with the filtered water (my old pitcher would keep the unfiltered water from mixing with the filtered water by just holding the lid tightly to the top of the pitcher).
4. The glorified "timer" stopped working the first time I changed the filter. A couple of drops of water hit it while I was cleaning the rest of the pitcher, and caused it to stop working.
5. My husband tipped the pitcher over, and the plastic hinge above the handle broke right off. Now the top won't work properly.
I have only had this product since the end of March (it's now the first of July), and have been VERY unhappy with the product quality. I will be going back to the "old" style of pitcher soon, as this one is not going to last much longer. What a piece of junk!!!
