Amazon.com Review:
For crisp, clean drinking water in small family or single-person households, Brita offers their Slim Pitcher with Filter. The filter reduces impurities and harmful substances from tap water and holds approximately 40 liquid ounces. The slim pitcher fits neatly into many refrigerator doors, enabling users to maximize shelf space.
Certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International, Brita water filters contain a mesh screen to catch sediment and particles as tap water flows through into the pitcher’s basin. Brita pitchers employ an ion exchange resin with activated carbon granules to draw mercury, zinc, copper and cadmium from tap water, trapping these harmful elements inside the filter. Brita filters eradicate up to 98 percent of the lead found in tap water while significantly reducing other impurities and dangerous bacteria including cryptosporidium, giardia, and benzene. Additionally, the odor and flavor of chlorine are removed from drinking water. Brita filters should be replaced every 40 gallons or after two months of use. Replacement filters can be purchased separately. Wash the Slim Pitcher by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Brita offers a limited 90-day warranty on pitchers in the event of manufacturer defects. The pitcher weighs two pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Rating: - Does what it's supposed to do
Having lost my last water filter, I needed a replacement, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I bought this product. It does what I want expected it to do - filter water to eliminate some of the (unpleasant) taste of tap water. Of course, your results may vary depending on the geographic location you live in, since the chemicals and taste of water varies greatly from region to region.
The size of this pitcher is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's rather small, ... Read More
Rating:  - Too many granules in my water pitcher!
I had been using this pitcher for about two years. I know that it is normal for pieces of carbon to be in the TOP reservoir and in the actual pitcher for the first few uses. This was my experience for about the first year. Then, when I bought replacement filters, they kept leaking so many particles (and I pre-soak the filter as instructed) that they kept leaking into the pitcher. I thought maybe I had purchased a defective filter and exchanged it for another from my local grocery store where I had ... Read More
Rating:  - Perfect size for one person!
This is the first time I have used a Brita filtration system and I will definately use them again and again! This pitcher fit perfectly in my 1.7cu ft fridge in my dorm room yet it holds a days worth of drinking water for one person. It is so simple to use but lacks the filter change indicator like other Brita pitchers.
There was an obvious difference in taste of the filtered water compared to the tap water. It has been so easy for me to drink more water and I have even used it to filter ... Read More
Rating: - Don't bother!
In the instructions it says to run water through twice to get rid of the granules of carbon that will be floating around in the water. After about 12 times we just chucked the filter in the garbage and just used the pitcher for tea. What good is it if you can't drink the water coming through the filter?
Rating:  - Stick with a flip top brita!
I am a fan of Brita pitchers, but this one is just OK. I had a larger Brita pitcher with a flip top which makes it easy to refill. I had it for about 6 years and decided to downsize. The top on this is near impossible to get off without using your nails. I'd definitely get one with a flip top in the future.
