Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brita 42557 Riviera Water Pitcher, White

Customer Review: Take a Pass on This One
Summary: 1 Stars

I got rid of a perfectly good water pitcher in order to "upgrade" to this snazzy model. The chrome look fit in perfectly with the kitchen of my new house, so I thought I was making a solid decorating decision. I have regretted that move every day since. This pitcher, although functional, leaks. It leaks from the front when I pour water into a glass--to the extent that I can only pour over the sink because it ends up everywhere. When I fill the reservoir and lift it to put it into my refrigerator, it often leaks out the back. I don't recall ever encountering such a poorly designed product. I mean, it's supposed to hold water. You would THINK they'd design it so it doesn't leak. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with the pitcher that would cause it to leak; it simply isn't well made. Frankly, I am disgusted with Brita and will never purchase another one of their poorly designed products again.

Customer Review: the lid broke the first day
Summary: 1 Stars

The part holding on the plastic hinge broke before I even got to USE it! I was taking it apart to wash it and it just snapped right off. And not just the hinge but the entire piece that attached it to the pitcher, so a 3 inch long break. Not made as sturdy as they used to be (I was replacing my 8 year old original version which is still in great shape, but I wanted a space saver model).

Customer Review: Don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this pitcher in March 2007, it's now July. After only 4 months the indicator on top is broken. I am going to write to the company and see if I can get it replaced with a different model.
