My wife and I have immensely enjoyed the wonderful water we get from our Pur filtration pitcher.

It's very convenient -- just pour water into the top, and it will, albeit slowly, drip through the filter. Over time, as the filter clogs, it will get slower, so the key is to add more water every time you pour more out -- that way, it's filtering while you are drinking and you aren't waiting.

It's actually much more convenient than the faucet-mount filters, which inevitably leak and get painfully slow and force you to wait...

Pur is better than Brita, by the way, if you get the Ultimate filters, which filter out cryptosporidium and giardia in addition to chemicals and gunk. Brita doesn't do that; it's an important feature if you have iffy water systems (Mexico, Russia) or a weak immune system...

I had the bigger Pur Dispenser when I lived in Las Vegas and loved it to death. Being in the military I recently moved to South Korea, where the water is a nice dark brown coming from the tap. Yum Yum. I picked up the Pur Pitcher and the water from it is absolutly purfect. By far better than the bottled water I was drinking before I got this, not to mention the money I save with this filter. The only gripe I have is that its not the Dispenser wich holds much more water, but the compact pitcher works brilliantly. I couldn't be happier...it will filter mud into pure crystal clear water. Good stuff, highly recomend this filter

This is my second Pur Ultimate, the other was larger, but the other also developed a minute leak at the bottom seam. I see that others who had purchased the larger PUR pitcher complained of the same problems. I am hoping that this smaller unit which holds less water may experience less stress and will rightfully earn the 5 stars I am giving it. The main reason I am giving 5 stars is because of the filter involved, it is not simply a taste filter, it is certified as the only filter that removes the microbiological cysts Cryptosporidium and Giardi.

I could definitely tell a difference in the taste of my water, and hopefully that means it's chlorine free, but I haven't had it tested. However, it must be doing its job because the filter itself only lasts about a month! I think that its life span just depends on how bad your water is. It works better that my old Brita filter, which I could tell wasn't working because my water still smelled like chlorine with that one. That being said, I would buy the PUR pitcher over again if given the choice.

I have used both Brita and PUR products and consistently have found PUR to be better in both design and taste. The lid to the pitcher is a piece that lifts completely off and on; it would be nicer if it was a bit sturdier or a flip-top, however, unlike another review, I haven't found it to be a problem. I'm very happy with this PUR pitcher. Nice size for one or two people and uses the 2-step filter.

We've had our pitcher for about a year and a half and use it everyday especially for coffee, tea and cooking. When cooking, it's easier to keep the pitcher next to the stove and pour water out of it than go to the fridge to get filtered water from there.

The pitcher comes apart for easy washing, is sturdy and the filtered water tastes very good. Our water here isn't usually that bad tasting, but we can certainly tell the difference between the filtered water and tap water. Personally, we prefer using a pitcher instead of having a filter on the faucet which takes up too much space at the sink - but that's just our personal preference.

The price is right and the filters are readily available. We're very happy with ours.

The pitcher is a bit small for me. I use this pitcher in my office and found myself refilling it twice a day. Initially, the taste was kinda of strange. My co-worker and I both agreed that there's an after taste. However, after a couple of days of drinking from the pitcher, guest I acquired the taste and don't find it to be an after taste anymore.

I'm happy that's there's no black grainy stuff floating at the bottom of the Pur pitcher as my Brita pitcher does.

Been using this for about a year now with no problems at all. Much cheaper than buying bottled water, that's for sure.

This pitcher is great. I bought it about 2 years ago. The only problem was that the handle broke. But I loved it so much I just bought another one. The slim design is great for tight spaces in the fridge. The filters last me about a month, which I guess is average. I can't even cook with the tap water in my house (it tastes so bad)so I use this for cooking. These are the best inexpensive filters on the market. The only thing better would be a reverse osmosis system which is BIG BUCKS. So, I'll stick with my Pur for now.

We bought this and absolutely love it! I was so annoyed with myself for not buying one sooner. Our water is horrible out of the tap, and this pitcher makes the water crystal clear and eliminates any odor. The water tastes fresh and refreshing. I know that the filters are a bit expensive, but it is well worth it!
