PUR 5 Cup Water Filter Pitcher CR-4000 Save 17% Off

The PUR CR-4000 5 Cup Pitcher with One Pitcher Filter is only slightly smaller than the PUR CR-6000 7-Cup Water Filtration Pitcheror PUR CR-6000C 2-Stage Oval Water Pitcher with LED Indicator. But it is a much more affordable option. What you give up is the stability and usefulness of the other models. While the top half of the units, and the filters, are about the same, the base of this model is shorter and has a more narrow base. That means while I can fill my other pitcher standing in the sink, this pitcher tips over because the base is too narrow to be stable on any surface that''s not completely flat.

PROS:

++ Good value with the same 2-stage filter as larger models

++ 5 cup capacity is perfect for filling at once (larger models require you to wait for water to filter, then fill again)

++ Reasonable water quality and taste improvement (though some filters are better)

++ Pitcher size is compact enough to fit in small spaces

CONS:

-Overly narrow base makes it easy to tip the unit over (can''t stand on its own in the sink)

-Cannot pour while filtering (the top leaks more than the tops on larger models)

-No spout cover to protect filtered water from refrigerator odors

-No light indicator for filter changes

-Larger capacity models are not much wider or taller

CONCLUSION

As long as you carefully fill this unit and only place it on flat surfaces, it''s a decent value. But considering the parts are all similar, I wish the larger capacities were sold at a similar value. This is good but if you don''t need the compact size it''s worth paying for the larger models.

It''s very compact and basic, but does the job. No complaints here so far. Great size for one or two people to share. It easily fills two glasses with water before needing refilled. The filter it uses seems very high quality. And, perhaps most importantly, according to the research I did, it looks like this pitcher is entirely BPA-free.

Actually this model shares the same parts of the lid and blue water tank with 7cup model. So it''s like this model is just a little bit shorter by about 2cm. I saw local store is selling 7 cup with LED for less $15. I bought 5 cup model for space saving but actually it didn''t matter.

The other thing is no spout cover. Although not hard to put on foil to cover, it doesn''t look nice. After getting rid of chlorine or something, the water becomes vulnerable against bacteria. So I think this kind of pitcher should have a cover. It seems old Pur models had it though.
