Brita reviews and discussion

Filter ability wasn't great, price is too high for be to repurchase. Filters fast!

ordered and used the extra large 27 cup filter that fits on the shelf of the fridge. it only lasted a few months before it started excessively leaking. at one point, water overflowed past the shelf it was on and soaked a box of seltzers we had. the box was difficult to clean up, and we attempted to shift the position of the filter container to see if that was the issue. it was not. it just kept leaking, so we stopped using it.

I had a few in college and they work when it comes to filtering water, but they grow algae very easily no matter how much you wash and change the filter.

Not an object to get excited about and nor is it the nicest design on the market, but it is an essential in my house. Fits in my fridge door and stops my tea looking like pond water (though some scummy looking stuff still seems to get through). I like the taste of the filtered water but wish the filters were cheaper.

Great, clean tasting water. Filters seem to last a good few months before tap taste starts to come through again.

I'm sceptic about the product. Makes tap water drinkable. It says what it does but tap water is already drinkable (atleast in Belgium). The filters are not cheap so for saving costs it is not worth it.

I've used different Brita products for a long time now and I think they work great. I currently live in NYC and use the ExtraLarge Brita with Filter and it's perfect. I don't know how confidant I would be if the tap water was any worse than here but I do see a difference in my water and how it tastes.

I used it mostly for my cat fountain (treating my cats better than myself!). I like the taste of the water after filtering it. I don't like the way it calculates the exchange date and I also wish for a better solution to recycle the filters.

We use our Brita filter all the time at our farm. Our farm is on well water and the Brita takes out the off flavors.

For an affordable water filter, this is a great option. It easily fits in the fridge shelves, the water tastes great, and the filters last for 2 months at a time. My parents both have one in their homes and I recently got one and love it.

Always had a Brita at home, and definitely loved the ease of having filtered water at home. There are two reasons I stopped using it, (1) is that back the can itself is quite big and unpractical to stall somewhere in the fridge, and (2) is that the refill for the filters are relatively expensive. I see that now the collection has updated a bit, they offer smaller carafes that are less uncomfortable in sizing. :)

I bought a Brita pitcher. It works great! I live in a rural area and our water normally has a weird smell and is cloudy sometimes. The filter gets rid of the smell and the water is clear. The cartridges last 3-4 months. This is cheaper and more eco friendly than me having to buy water bottles.
