Amazon.com Review
This pitcher combines Brita's reliable filtering with a very convenient narrow shape and flip-top lid for easy refills. To operate, simply flip the lid and fill the water reservoir, then wait a couple of minutes for it to filter through. The filter used with this system has been certified by NSF International, a testing authority for water filtration products, and reduces copper and eliminates 99% of lead in tap water. Using activated carbon as well as an ion exchange resin, it also reduces chlorine, bad tastes, odors, and sediment--making it a lot easier to drinkthe recommended eight glasses of water a day. It comes with one filter, lasting approximately two months, and the pitcher is clear with a white top. --Maria Dolan

I like this pitcher. It's a nice size for a smaller fridge. Although, that it could be it's downside too. It is quite small and means you need to refill it pretty often. Still, it does say it's size when purchased. Anyway, I like the taste of the water it gives -- no taste, just like it should be. It is quite light so I never feel like I'm going to pour it everywhere or drop it. It fills quite quickly and seems to chill pretty fast, too. All in all, I'm quite glad that I have it.

I've had this pitcher for 2 months now, and it's done everything I've asked. Well, I haven't actually asked. I try to not make a habit out of talking to inanimate objects.
But it does the job. It's a little small and therefore needs to be refilled pretty regularly (even for just one person), but the flip side is that it doesn't take up much space in the fridge.

I've owned several Brita models over the years, including the round pitcher and the other slim unit. This design is great for people with limited fridge space, and perfect for the office or dorm if all you need is improved water taste.
Be aware that Brita's stated filtration capacity is limited to chlorine and lead. If you are worried about other bad stuff in your water, you'll need to go with a more robust system, like one of the under-the-sink Smartwater inline filters made by GE. I have one installed in my home. More advanced systems reduce mercury, asbestos, cysts, and many other contaminants. Some cities have some truly terrifying chemicals in their water, including estrogen, microscopic parasites (giardia for example), and fertilizers. This Brita will do nothing for that, but most Americans live in places with safe drinking water.
That having been said, this is what I use at the office because the tap water here tastes bad, especially if I let it warm up to room temperature. After filtration with this Brita, the taste is not noticeable.
For the sake of the environment and your budget, please don't buy bottled water, which is often from municipal water sources anyway and just filtered, depending on the brand (like Aquafina, Glaceau Smart Water, and Starbucks' Ethos). You can buy a good filter and treat your own water for much less. Americans throw out billions of water bottles every year and most of them end up in landfills.

I have an original Brita filter with the handle that does not connect at the bottom. I have to say this design is much better because when you hold it by the handle it does not feel flimsy. The entire unit feels strong and well built. Filtration is done by gravity pushing the water so it does take around 3-4 minutes to completely fill. The water has always been perfect and I can not see the unit failing in any way.

Does what is says it will do (as far as I know, I mean. I'm not exactly testing my water each time before I drink it lol) and keeps the water from having that fresh-from-the-tap taste :P
Also, I like the slim design of this one. I've seen some that are rounder and bulkier. This one fits nicely in my fridge and leaves lots of room. Make sure you follow the instructions precisely because you will have those little floaties in your water the first 2-3 fill-ups and you don't want to catch yourself drinking that and thinking your filter is faulty. All in all, a good buy for the price. I'd recommend it.
