If you are looking for ways to work on being more patient, enjoy banging your head against the wall daily, or are conducting a study on poor design, then this is your Brita pitcher.I have owned several Brita pitchers in the past and had no reservations about purchasing another one because the others worked great. However, the design of this model is idiotic. The lid is made out of a poor quality plastic that flexes making it difficult and annoying to take it on and off or flip open the top opening. The lid also falls off (possibly because it is so hard to put on completely) when you pour from the pitcher unless you hold it on while pouring. This causes a mess if is knocks the glass you are pouring into or the reservoir is full and spills out a bunch of unfiltered water. Where the handle connects to the top, there is a significant dip (basically a hole) so that if you fill the reservoir close to the top, it is extremely easy for the water line to go above the hole. The handle is covered with another flimsy piece of plastic that is merely snapped on. When the water from the reservoir spills out of the hole, the handle fills with water. Since the covering of the handle is only snapped on and not sealed, if you don''t notice this immediately, water will start streaming out of the bottom of the handle all over you or your table or whatever. Even if you were careful not to fill the reservoir above where the hole is, when you go to set the pitcher down, some water will inevitably slosh through the hole and you have the same problem or water going into the handle and streaming out.
This is a terrible product. I gave it two stars because the filter itself functions just as well as any other Brita filter, but the pitcher design is a nightmare.
