Reduce Vision Water Filtration Pitcher Save 11% Off

The Reduce Vision Pitcher arrived today and was supposed to replace an old, leaky plastic Brita pitcher. When I took it out of the box I was surprised how thin the stainless steel and how light-weight it was, but I kind of liked that because it meant it wouldn''t be too heavy to lift when fully filled with water.

I carefully hand-washed it first, dried it, soaked and rinsed the filter, filled the pitcher twice, poured the water out immediately each time just like I had done for years with my various Brita pitchers. I then filled it a third time "for real", and left the house for two hours. When I came back I was surprised to notice that the surface below it was soaking wet. I transferred the pitcher to a dry kitchen towel and actually watched how an ever growing puddle started forming immediately: There was an almost invisible tear a few inches to the left of the water level window and about 1 inch up from the bottom. I could feel the spot it was a small dent with tiny horizontal tears.

At first I thought Oh, we received a lemon. Let''s just return and order a new one. My husband took a closer look and we then saw that the problem is with the design (and probably also quality and workmanship it is made in you-know-where) of the pitcher. You see, the bottom is a separate part from the body of the pitcher. One cannot see this from the outside but it is visible when one looks inside the pitcher. Apparently the pitcher''s thin stainless steel material was somehow dented during transport or even manufacturing, which in turn must have created this stress tear along the line where the bottom and the body come together, causing it to leak like crazy.

I cannot recommend this pitcher because of this problem. If the body were actually one piece INCLUDING the bottom, I would still love it and just get a replacement. But the way it is designed, it is only a question of time when a leak would show on a replacement model.

I have never seen stainless steel tearing/cracking like this. The search for a better-than-plastic (Brita-compatible) pitcher continues...

Mine leaks at the bottom of the clear plastic window on the left. I should have purchased at Costco so I could return it to any store instead of having to figure out how to return via mail. I guess that''s the risk you take with buying online.

Buy Reduce Vision Water Filtration Pitcher Now

I bought this because it is the only stainless steel pitcher (in my price range) on the market as far as I know. I''ve used brita and pur pitchers in the past and had few issues with them but since I moved I''ve been trying to avoid plastic kitchenware. I don''t particularly like the idea of consuming water/food that has been sitting in plastic.

While this pitcher is not entirely plastic-free, the majority of it is. There are two plastic "windows" showing the water level (I wish these were glass...) and the handle, filter and lid are entirely made of plastic.

What''s really nice is that the filter is shaped like brita and pur filters so I can buy those filter brand to replace the one that came with this pitcher.

This is quite large, it holds 10 cups of water (compared to a standard pur pitcher that holds 7 cups) but I think it still looks nice on my counter. It is about the width of a gallon of milk and fits perfectly in my fridge door. There is a stainless steel grate just inside the spout so you can use this to serve beverages with ice in them if you remove the plastic filter holder (which is very easy to do!)

So far I am pleased with my pitcher. I wanted to get away from plastic containers and this mostly does the trick. My only concern is that there still seems to be a lot of plastic on it the top part and the part that shows how full it is, but I couldn''t find a better alternative and it''s mostly steel. My other comment is that the steel feels a bit flimsy. This doesn''t seem to be an issu so far though. Wate tastes great. Overall am glad I bought it.

Want Reduce Vision Water Filtration Pitcher Discount?

After seeing a few documenteries on the safety of water and plastic containers I decided to get rid of all plastic food and water containers in the house. It takes very little research to understand that plastic in not good for you and something must be done. And just because a product is labeled "BPA free" isn''t good enough for me, because that BPA is replaced with something else which is probably not good eats either.

After replacing all food containers, baby bottles, and water containers with glass and corningware, I kept checking online for glass water filter pitchers, and they just weren''t there. I found many many blogs from other people doing the same thing, but no luck. Finally, just a couple weeks ago, I found an article about the first ever stainless steel water filter pitcher at some product convention. Immediately I went to trusty ol'' Amazon, and there it was, "Add to Cart".

I''ve had the Reduce Vision water pitcher for a week now, and am deffinitely impressed. It came early, love that super saver shipping that gets there in two days. It was well packaged. I washed it, soaked the filter, filled and dumped twice, used it, tasted just fine(with the fresh Cascades water we get here in NYC, might inherently taste a little different in Texas or D.C., been there, yuck!) then threw away the old Britta.

PROS:

~light weight

~easy to clean

~nearly no plastic(until they make a stainless steel or glass filter we can''t escape plastic 100%)

~water tastes great

CONS:

~it sweats like a dehumidifier when it is taken out of the refrigerator

~holds about 8 1/2 cups of water, not the advertised 10, which is a minor complaint. The pitcher holds 10, but at about 81/2 the water stops flowing through the filter.

All in all a great product. I gave it 4 stars just because it''s not 100% plastic free, but it''s a great start!
