I cannot understand some of the complaints that I've seen in reviews of this pitcher. I've owned one for 2 years, and just bought a 2nd, and I've got nothing but good things to say about them. The filter works well and makes my normally chlorine smelling water as tasty as the best bottled water. I drink a LOT of water (120+ ounces a day) and my PUR pitcher has paid for itself many, many times over in its lifetime. I don't think the lid is troublesome at all as some reviewers have said, nor do I think that the shape is strange; to me it is perfect because it fits nicely along side a gallon of milk on the side rack of my refrigerator. The plastic is heavy duty enough to absorb some abuse, and the filters are very easy to exchange. All that is required is a quarter twist and they pop right out. I'd recommend washing the pitcher semi-frequently to keep it nice and clean, but other than that, it is about as low maintenance as you could ask for.

Great tasting water, solid design, relatively inexpensive filters, and 2 years of flawless use mean I can only give this product 5 stars. Don't hesitate, this is a fantastic water filter/pitcher.

for under $20 it's hard to fault this filter. It filters more different things than the Brita does... if the Brita meets your needs, buy it. I like the extra assurance and have never had a problem with speed of filtering unless the cartridge is old. It's been sitting in the door of my refrigerator for over a year now, quietly doing it's job.

I bought this January 12, 2008 at a local Publix. I was about to buy another Deerpark Filtered Water Gallon and decided to go with this (I can't use the faucet attachment) I am impressed. It makes Atlanta water taste like Dasani, oh wait, Dasani is Atlanta water...but it tastes great! Much better than from the tap.

I've read the slow filter comments and PUR must have changed because I don't notice the slow filling. We're a family of three and the 7cup is perfect. I have the habit of filling the pitcher top with each glass of water. I mean I would be getting it from the tap otherwise right? No big deal. The pitcher has filtered the water by the time I need a fresh glass.

BUY THIS PRODUCT.

We have used the pur filtration systems for years now and they always make great tasting water. I would recommend the pitcher, the faucet contraption or the the camping pump to anyone.

I purchase Pur after reveiwing Zero and doing price comparisons on replacement filters. NO BRAINER! I found the 3 pack replacements filters at Wal-Mart for around $12.99 on sale. The Zero Water filters are close to $60.00. I have well water, cannot use in coffee maker, and this not only does the job...the water tastes great! Highly recommend, and am purchasing now as a gift for my mom!

Was hesitant about purchasing this pitcher after some of the former negative reviews. I can only conclude that PUR has changed it's filtration system or manufacturing process or something, because I think this pitcher is GREAT!!

The water filters quickly and tastes fantastic. Pitcher is light-weight but very sturdy. Nicely balanced, no problems with lid falling off during pouring, and the shape fits nicely in my usually-overcrowded fridge.

I find that I'm MUCH more likely to reach for a glass of water (trying to cut out too many diet drink products) now that I have this cold, refreshing - and great tasting - source right at my fingertips. I would highly recommend this pitcher and would purchase again!

Product works OK. Lid seems little on the flimsy side, but is still intact.

This tiny pitcher takes over 8 hours sometimes to filter a load of water.

It gets a bonus star because I can pour it while it's still filtering, by holding the lid down with my hand.

EDIT 11-28-2007:
I bought a replacement Pur filter at Target. This one has a hole in the top of it that is supposed to improve water flow, and it sure does -- I can get two 8oz glasses of water out of it in less than 5 mins. I hope it's filtering properly, at that speed (it does taste good). So I'll leave my review at 2 stars until it becomes apparent that this pitcher is shipping with the improved filter, rather than the old slow one.

I agree with a previous reviewer - the pitcher fractured spontaneously. It was not dropped or hit - it just ruptured and leaked water all over. I would not buy another PUR product. It was a 2-4-1 deal at a local grocery store - now I know why......

My family has used a Pur pitcher for at least a decade (and a Brita before that) and lately I just got fed up with the Pur. The last 2 filters we bought are so slow to filter the water, sometimes it sits in the top for hours. Then when you forget to wait and try to pour, the lid pops off and water spills everywhere. A waste of time and money. You should try the Clear2O Premium Water Filtration Pitcher, it's perfect!
