Insightful Reviews

We've curated some of most helpful comments and reviews from people all over the world. Read what they had to say:.

“First and foremost, THE RESERVOIR DOES COME OUT. It's tight, and it feels like you might crack the plastic if you really start yanking, but it does come out for cleaning. The way I removed it was by tucking the pitcher under my left arm, and with my right thumb and forefinger, I gripped the little recess in the reservoir and wiggled it back and forth while pulling outwards. If the assembly is dry, it will come out just fine. If it's wet, it'll take a little more effort. For people complaining about the filter, I grant that you may have had a lemon, but from what I can tell, most of the issues experienced will be avoided by FLUSHING THE FILTER WITH WATER BEFORE USE, and DISPOSING OF THE FIRST FEW PITCHERS OF FILTERED WATER, as instructed. Follow the instructions, keep it refrigerated, clean it periodically, replace your filters when your water stops tasting filtered, and you are unlikely to have problems.” — Sam

“To begin with the reservoir can be removed. I'll admit it took effort the first time getting used to the level of force you could exert without possibly damaging the pitcher, but it can be done. It seems to be easier when the pitcher is dry as well- if it's wet you'll have to use more of those muscles. And concerning complaints about the filter- follow the instructions! It specifically states to flush the filter with water and and dispose the first couple of pitcher's worth of water without drinking it. Of course there may have been instances where there was a legitimate issue, but I'd very much bet that if the majority followed the directions that wouldn't be the case. On a separate issue, I'm sure this is obvious but I think it's worth the money to purchase a 6 month filter instead of 2 month filter packs. It'll save you money in the long run even with the greater up- front cost. To summarize: review the instructions and clean it when necessary, replace the filters when you feel the water is no longer filtered, and there shouldn't be any issues.” — Gareth

“Not a sturdy product. It fell on the floor and a piece cracked off of the edge. Later it cracked as I was still trying to use it and it fell again. My older ones are still in use. The plastic is thin, thin. I wish I had bought it in a store and could have evaluated it in person.” — Emma
