Eliminate 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

 DO NOT BUY! This new Brita is flimsy, leaky and poorly made! December 26, 2008
Volney Hill (New Orleans, LA USA)
I have had an original Brita pitcher for years and only bought a new one when the pour-spput-flap broke. EVERYONE I know that bought this new Brita has had problems with this very pour-spout-flap sticking and causing "waterfall" spills. The flip top that you open to fill the reservoir is cheaply made and falls off often. If the reservoir has any water in it, and you pour a glass, the pitcher overflows because the parts do not fit tightly together.
Get a Culligan Faucet purifier and fill up a pitcher!
Good Pitcher December 19, 2008
smv135 (Atlanta, GA)
This is a pretty good pitcher. I love having cold filtered water on hand and this does a great job at making my tap water taste better. I purchased this about two years ago and it's held up fine. I'm a little concerned how long the plastic will continue to hold up, but so far so good!
This is for you, Brita December 12, 2008

This pitcher is so poorly designed I get angry every time I use it.
The lid is loose and falls off causing a spill.
The small flap at the pouring end gets stuck, then opens, causing another spill.
Water in the top section will pour out at the same time as the filtered water.
The water doesn't really taste good at all.
I still use this pitcher because I have no alternative.
Don't you have anyone testing your products?
Shame on you for making such a shoddy product
 You Will Taste The Difference November 25, 2008
D. Dell (USA)
If you have never had filtered water, then you do not know what you are missing. When you use this Brita you will see and taste the difference in your tea, coffee or whatever else you use it in. I use Brita filtered water in my Espresso Machine and do not have to decalcify as often. I also use filtered water in all my cooking.
The slim design of this Brita makes it fit in the refrigerator much better. And the timer comes in handy to remind me to change the filter. Some have said that it leaks when transporting. I simply fill it up all the way then wait for several seconds until the water goes down slightly before I lift it from the sink. Problem solved. The lid fits snug, but will come off if you empty all the water. I either hold the lid or just do not empty all the water. Again, problem solved. This is a great water pitcher and I highly recommend it.
Who designed this thing? November 12, 2008
Veeder
Like others have said:
1. The spout cover sticks and spills water everywhere when it does.
2. If you fill the entire reservoir it will spill out the back of the pitcher near the handle.
3. The 'indicator' is just a timer. Don't be fooled.
4. The top barely fits on the pitcher. Don't even THINK about pouring a glass of water before its finished filtering the water in the top.
All in all this pitcher was a huge disappointment. I owned the previous model for years and was happy with it. Water tastes fine but that's the easy part (its a carbon filter...not hard to design and make).
Prepare your kitchen for wetness...
