I coveted this item for a while due to the design and colour, to match my kitchen, however I baulked at the annual cost of Brita filters.
Now that I have taken the plunge and ordered and received the jug, I am pleased to note that:
- it is sturdy and well-made,
- it sits comfortably in my fridge door without rattling about, and is easy to place there and to remove
- the handle is easy to grip and carry
- it is very easy to refill thanks to the clever refill spout and lid
- the pouring mechanism works perfectly - no spills.
- it has the familiar refill indicator of a Brita filter which I owned in the distant past (before I got fed up of the cost of those filters...)
All in all, it's a well designed jug in a particularly nice colour, and one which should last me a while.
It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the filtration qualities of this jug, since that would imply doing a review of Brita maxtra filters. I have chosen not to use Brita filters due to the exorbitant price of these, and I instead use an alternative brand filter, which fits this jug.
