3 qt. Pitcher eliminates 98% of the lead and reduces chlorine (taste and odor), copper, and mercury that may be present in your tap water. Elegantly designed. Flip top lid for easy refilling. Soft grip handle. Prevents bacteria growth in the filter to proEliminate 99% of the lead and reduce chlorine, mercury, and sediment in drinking water with Brita's Magnum II Filtration Pitcher. Larger than the standard Brita pitcher, it holds up to 80 ounces of clean, filtered water. Just pop the filter cylinder in the white plastic water reservoir, fill with cold tap water, and in just minutes the pitcher's brimming with healthy, great tasting water. Each filter--one comes with the pitcher and you can order others--lasts for 40 gallons of water. As an added feature, a filter replacement indicator relays when it's time for a new one. The sleek, clear plastic pitcher sports an easy-grip handle, while the white plastic lid features two openings: one for filling the pitcher and one for pouring. --Marianne Painter

The first nice thing about this product is how easily I can fill it. Some brands have hoses that must be screwed into the tap. Make sure you don't buy that type. The pitcher is well balanced and a good size for the fridge. It's not too squat, not too wide. The handle is sturdy and has a nice non slip grip. The clear body comes with an optical illusion. It is slightly tinted so the water looks crystal blue and sparkly. This entices you to drink more. Clever idea.
In order to fill the pitcher completely I must fill the reservoir and wait for it to empty out before I can fill it again. This is only a small inconvenience. As yet, I have had no problem with the top falling off. Still, I feel more secure when I lightly hold the top or support the pitcher while I am pouring. I should also mention that the first time I filled the pitcher the water was a little disappointing. I think you may need to run some water through the filter or fill the pitcher up once or twice before it begins to filter properly. After the first fill up the water tasted wonderful.
I would have preferred a built in indicator, but this comes with a "timer" that is no more than a decal. Since I am pretty much the only one using the pitcher I calculated how much the pitcher holds by how many times I can fill it up by how much the filter will accept before needing to be changed.
One of the reviews said not to let the filter dry out. I think this is what I must have done. I waited until the pitcher was empty before refilling it. (Don't like mixing old stale water with new.) I started to notice carbon floating in the reservoir. It doesn't get into the water but it is a little disconcerting. So now I will keep the pitcher filled.
Very happy with this product.

If you have any water in the top reservoir of the pitcher, then when you pour water our, the weight of the water in the top reservoir makes the lid fall off and soak you in water. You have to hold one hand on the lid to prevent it from toppling over when you pour water. So, it is impossible to pour with one hand and hold the glass with one hand.
I also agree with other reviewers that it is very messy and gets a lot of water on your refrigerator shelves.
I gave it 2 starts instead of 1, because the filter makes tap water taste good.

This is the worst Britta container. First water leaks out the top near the handle when it's recently filled. Second, the cap does not fit tightly like in the smaller filters. When pouring, if you have water in pre-filtered reservoir, it leaks through the front to spill all over.

Got my pitcher the other day, so far seems to work fine. Wasn't as big as I was expecting which was disappointing but I can live with. Not having the problems others seem to and keeping my fingers crossed they don't appear!

We have a smaller, chrome-topped, Brita pitcher we keep in the fridge, but found we were refilling it frequently. So we bought this, the largest one I think they make except for the dispenser model, to keep on the counter. It's okay, but a little cheaply made, particular the white plastic castings. The filler door on top has a poorly designed hinge that tends to become dislodged, and the flap that covers the spout sticks sometimes as you go to poor, spilling water. Still, the body itself is a stout bit of plastic, and the handle is comfortable to poor whether the pitcher is topped up or nearly empty.
