Rated 2 out of 5 by HoosierBritaUser filter didn't function to my expectation
I bought this thinking that the filter will give more than month of regular use. After a month the filter stopped working
stopped working as far as Im concerned. When I tried to drink from the cup I had to struggle sucking from it and yet little water was coming out. Are you trying to sell me a bill of goods here? Its on my kitchen counter because Im afraid to buy another filter that will dupe me again with my hard earned money. If you can give me a replacement for the original filter then perhaps it will show you stand behind the quality of your product and I can trust your product once more to continuing to use this particular model.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Womby Broken cap after 1 use!
I love the size and speed of filtration, but the first day I brought my bottle to work, it fell off of my desk and the plastic cap cracked, rendering it useless.

Rated 1 out of 5 Not Impressed
Nice concept. Appreciate the ability to reduce my carbon foot print and drink filtered water. However, the water bottle design is poor. You cannot close the top lid tight enough to prevent it from leaking all over you. I will not buy another one nor reccommend it to anyone. I have shown numerous people how it leaks and I would not expect them to buy one either.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LYOUNG02 Better value, better for environment
We have saved so much money on bottled water with our initial investment in the Brita bottle. Helping the environment is a nice bonus. I also love that these bottles are dishwasher safe. One thing I do NOT like is that the caps are very difficult to clean. Scum builds up inside them after awhile, and even running them through the dishwasher doesn't seem to help. I don't want to buy a whole new bottle just because the cap is gross. It would be nice if Brita sold replacement caps.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Donna22 Disappointed in newer pitcher
I loved my old pitcher, but it was time for a new one. So, I went and purchased a newer one. I am soooo sorry I did! I hate the lid on this thing. Why would you take a one piece lid and split it into two??? Every time I pour, the front part flies off. Poor design. Really upset I wasted my money on this one. Wish I kept the receipt to return it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jetsetter great for trips through airport security
Ensure your water bottle is empty passing through security. When you pass security, you can fill up at the water fountain on the other side and get great tasting water from your Brita bottle.
Never again will security be able to take your water away! Never be fleeced by retailers selling you water

Rated 1 out of 5 by Tiff27 Water bottle leaks
When I first purchased this product I loved it. Then after a few months my water bottle started to leak from the cap where the nozzle part is. I tightened the cap and it still leaked so I bought another water bottle, which are not cheap. Then after a month of use, the new one started to do the same thing. I am very disappointed and will not buy another water bottle from Brita or recommend this product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kellywren I love my Brita water bottle
I carry this every where with me. People are always amazed when I tell them it has it's own filter (I'm amazed that haven't seen this yet).
I gave it 4 stars because with my arthritis it's sometimes hard to squeeze the bottle. But that is my ONLY complaint.
Would be nice to have an insulated version. :-)

Rated 1 out of 5 by Chris135 Leaks!!!!!!!
I was extremely happy with this product for about three weeks. Then it began to leak every time I took a drink. This leaking continues. It is annoying to get drips of water all over your desk and yourself.
I will and would not purchase again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SuperRob Cap is fragile
I have this bottle that I purchased to keep at work. We have a tiny kitchen, and it's just easier to fill up a filter bottle than to get the office to buy a faucet filter.
Yesterday, the small plastic stopper inside the cap broke off entirely, and now the bottle doesn't seal when closed. I don't travel with this bottle, so I'm unsure how this could have happened. It literally popped out and rolled across my desk when I opened it in the morning.
There doesn't seem to be any way to return the product or get a refund, and other similar caps on water bottles will not fit this bottle due to the filtering mechanism, so factor that in before you purchase.

Rated 1 out of 5 by jvarley88 Disappointed
I bought this water bottle to help me drink more water while going to school this fall. At first, I enjoyed it, and it seemed to do an okay job. I have used the bottle approximately 10 times and it seems to taint the flavor of the water instead of just filtering it. I did a little test just to see what was going on and when I put already filtered water (from my Brita sink attachment) into the filtered bottle, it tasted gross.
Will not buy again and will just go back to drinking one reusable bottle while out during the day.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Randi I like it
It doesn't necessarily hold a lot of water at once, but that's the beauty, I guess, because you can refill it anywhere. My only issue, and it's a small one, is the water is a little slow to come out. You sort of have to squeeze it to get anything.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Cuate805 Good, not great
Top part of the bottle needs to be screwed in VERY tightly or else it will leak. Sometimes I struggle a bit to remove the top from screwing it in so tightly. The tip of the bottle doesn't work properly, I need to suck the water out, which is a bit annoying. Hopefully a new model is created soon. I still use my bottle everyday.

Rated 4 out of 5 by srodrig I love the bottle but...
I wish the pull top could be replaced! I find it is very hard to clean completely. I have tried soaking it in bleach, vinegar with baking soda, hot soapy water, etc. (all separately) but it still tends to not get completely clean. After a couple of months of use it is no good. I just wish there was something that could get all the bacteria & "stuff" out of the top (and the bottle) as it is used. Other than that it is convenient and saves a lot of money over buying bottled water.

If I had a list of my 20 favorite things, this bottle would definitely make the cut! I love having good tasting water by my side at all times. It has gotten my family and I to drink a lot more water than we would have otherwise.

The product can be refilled anywhere. Great for airplane flights. The squeeze is a little too hard.

Rated 2 out of 5 by CCH1 Great idea, but...
I don't like the nipple on the bottle. Using your hand to open/close the nipple is not very sanitary nor is having the part your drink from sticking up and exposed to germs and dirt. It really defeats the purpose of a bottle to promote "cleaner" water when you're drinking from a dirty unsanitary surface. It would be better if the top unscrewed or had a straw that is lifted or closed without handling with fingers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by knitey Great product but needs attached cap protector
This is a great product - it fits well in about any backpack waterbottle pocket and feels good in your hand. Its an attractive design and is easy to use and clean. Two suggestions: 1) Attach the cap protector so it doesn't get lost 2) Make the screw on top a little easier to get on correctly - if you don't put it on just right the bottle will leak. Other than this I love the product and have given several as gifts!

Rated 3 out of 5 by MyBlueBottle So-So
So I love the idea that I can drink filtered water from everywhere! It really does taste better. I've had a few different water bottles and was excited about this one, especially because I am a teacher and I drink a lot of water throughout the day. The tap water from the sink is not exactly Brita quality. I am really disappointed in the fact that the bottles leak very easily. The top has to be screwed on exactly right and tightly enough so that they do not leak. I've really thought I had it on right and I end up soaked in water. My boyfriend and mom can't figure the bottles out and won't use them anymore. If something could be done about the fit, I would be 100% satisfied.

I am sorry that you don't approve of my previous review, but as I have stated the first faucet filter failed after two weeks of use by flashing red even though there was no way I could have used that much water. The second filter stopped flashing altogether after one week of use and therefore rendered it useless as far as determining the life of the filter. I'm sorry if this review does not meet your expectations, but I will continue to buy the pitcher filters.

This summer I have trained myself to fill a Brita bottle before I leave the house and keep it in my car as I head out into the heat. No temptation now to stop for beverages and that means $, calories, and plastic SAVED! Thank you, Brita.

Rated 3 out of 5 by VickyGee It's a shame I have to replace my dispenser
I love my Brita. I bought my daughter one when they first came out years ago. I am on my 2nd one. Mine is leaking at the gasket not from abuse. I have a faucet that comes to it- the Brita so no rough handle occurs. The same thing happened to my brothers and he had to replace his. I drink a lot of water. I am the only one in the house that does. I love the taste and always use it for coffee, tea but not cooking. I'm gonna buy another one. I highly recommend Brita. Vicky G
