From the Editors

Think of it as water filtration for dummies. You don't even need to keep an eye on the calendar, the electronic sensor lets you know with a flashing arrow when it's time to change filters. Not to mention this system sure beats the heck out of paying for and lugging home gallon after gallon of water.

sprung a leak
I bought this and after a fill the nozzle had a ever slight leak...i fixed it up myself...works fine, we consume lots of water...never felt better about a purchase...no more millions of water bottles...

Great idea but leaks
I had an old model of this that worked great for years. Bought a new one and it started leaking from the joint between the spigot and the tub within three weeks - just as many other reviews said. I returned the odefective unit to Amazon - no problems there. But the new one leaked at the same place the first time I filled it up! I will be returning this one and try a PuR unit. I liked Brita products, but thier quality in manyfacturing seems to have gone down on this unit.

It leaks, but at least it tells you when to change the filter
The filter change indicator is great, but if you read the fine print you'll see that it has a "non-replaceable sealed battery designed to last 5 years." After that, "the pitcher is still functional, but the electronic filter change indicator will eventually stop working."

That's OK with me, because I think I'm getting rid of it after 7 months. Nearly from the start, it's been leaking around the spigot. I was blaming my refrigerator for the little puddles on the lower shelves, but then I pinpointed the problem. I'd stocked up on filters, so I tried to deal with it for a while by putting an aluminum pan underneath it, with a notch cut out for the spigot. I'm finally on my last filter, and now it starts to dribble every time I open the spigot, beyond the edge of my pan. I'm ready to throw in the towel (or stop throwing in the towel!) and get some other brand.

I probably should have given it just one star, but I'm a generous guy.

Product was as advertised and delivered when scheduled. Can't ask for anything more than that.

Easy water dispenser for kids!
I bought this dispenser over a year ago because we needed a new Brita pitcher and decided with 2 kids, this would be perfect to sit on the refrigerator shelf so we don't have to pull out a large pitcher every time someone wanted water. In fact, our old pitcher broke when my son went to get himself water and accidently dropped the pitcher on the floor. I also wanted a larger dispenser so that we don't have to refil it so often. This dispenser is perfect for our needs - it's large, easy to fill a glass without moving it and even easy to refil. It's rectangular shape makes it easy to fit on a shelf either in the fridge or on the counter. It has easy to grasp handles on the tops of the sides so it is easier to pull out of the fridge and carry to the sink. It has a smaller lid on the main lid so you can just remove that to refil. The best part is that my kids can refil their water cups by themselves - they like to do it themselves anyway!
So overall, I am extremely happy with this dispenser and highly recommend it!
