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.

Careful not to over-fill November 23, 2008
I love this product, and use it daily in the store I own. This is how my employees and I get our filtered water - saving the environment from all the plastic bottles, and my bank account from premium delivery service!
The only reason I give it a 4 star rating is because if you over-fill the top, or even fill it to where I believe is the correct level and hold it slightly tipped toward the back, it will leak out the handle area up on top. I know it does this, so I watch it...but my employees are not always so careful. If it were more contained in this one area, it would be a perfect product.
 The cap needs to stay on better July 22, 2008

I love the flavor of the water and the ease of use but the cover needs to be tighter. If all the water hasn't been filtered through and you go to pour through the spout, the cap comes off and a mess ensues.
 Ten years and still going! July 5, 2008

My Brita filtering pitcher, made from non-leaching plastic, is at least ten years old. Changing the filter is a breeze and when situated on the counter, is convenient to refill. Each filter last 4 to 6 months and I drink A LOT of water! The Brita water pitcher is voted a GoGreenMart&More product of the week.
But there are other green ways to get your daily water intake. Many fruits and vegetables are portable, self contained water sources naturally high in vitamins and fiber. For example, oranges, apples and carrots are 85 - 92% water, a bowl of cereal with milk contains up to 87% and pasta absorbs lots of water during cooking.

saves me money June 5, 2008
I used to buy bottled water to take to yoga or martial arts training. Now I just filter and use my own bottle. Saves $2-3 a pop. Water tastes clean.
Good Product, but if you have the room in your fridge, buy the larger one May 26, 2008

Overall, we're very happy with the Brita Atlantis Pitcher. Also bought one for Mom. The only minor problem is is sometimes spills a little if you don't pour carefully. The water tastes great, and we use it all the time at home, now only using bottled water for on-the-go. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY UPGRADING TO THE BRITA DELUXE OR BRITA CHROME: The Brita Deluxe has an indicator light to signal you to change filters however it goes off after a set amount of time rather than the actual usage of the filter. I got one as a gift and prefer the standard model. The light just gets annoying, especially when you know you don't need to change the filter yet. The chrome model also has the annoying light and is more difficult to clean (my sister has it). If you have more than one person in the house, or if you drink a lot of water, I would suggest buying the larger size. Or you can do what we do. We bought another large refillable bottle that we keep filled with the filtered water while the Brita is doing its job.
You can often get great deals on the replacement filters if you keep your eyes open for sales, and it's definitely worth it to buy the 3 pack of filters.
Definitely rinse the filter twice before you use it.
