Summary: Great tasting water
Comment: Have used this product for a year and a half. Love it so much that I bought one for a friend who has well water.

Summary: Excellent slim water pitcher
Comment: I bought this pitcher for my wife and loved the fact that it fits in our small refrigerator's door. I drink water out of the tap but she tells me that it is excellent for fresh-tasting water that is nice and cold. The filters are a bit pricey but by doing a bit of online sleuthing I can usually find great deals on the 3 packs - and they don't run out quickly so that is a plus. Great buy!

Summary: Awkward Size
Comment: I ended up giving this to a family member and purchasing the larger size (here on Amazon). This is an awkward size, frustratingly slow to fill for just that little bit more (for 6 cup coffee pot). The lid is very flimsy. Small and compact, perfect if you live alone. But in a larger household, its too small to be practical, and it takes too long (as with all of them), but even longer when you're waiting ... for the refilled filter to filter. Go with the larger model

Summary: An Exercise in Frustration
Comment: I just wrote this to Brita about my slim pitcher:
I have model 0803 and to say I hate it would be an understatement. If I hated it just a tiny bit more, it would be in the garbage even though it isn't two months old and I have four more filters to use.
The lid falls off whenever I try to pour out of it, the innards want to fall out which probably makes the lid come off, and the little spout thingy falls off. It is as though no one ever actually tried to USE the darn thing before they sent a whole load of them to WalMart.
Just so's you know--it's a piece of garbage and I'll never trust the Brita brand again.
-----
Seems to be a different model than the one on Amazon, but the other reviewers have the same problems I did except no carbon in the bottom in my case. This pitcher stinks. Try another brand.

Summary: Tastes great, saves a ton of $!
Comment: I bought this for two reasons: One, with the economy being what it is these days, I was looking for some ways to save some money and previously we bought a lot of bottled water. Two, we bought one specific brand that only came in individual bottles, and I could see we were producing WAY too much waste by buying them.
I'm surprised to find that the water does taste pretty good (and I am VERY picky), way better than "naked" tap water though not quite as crisp as purified bottled water. Bottom line is I can fill the pitcher from the tap without any additional costs for water and I have completely eliminated the massive waste we were generating! The filters last a long tme, and I think this is a great way to help the environment and save a bit of money as well.
