BRITA Water Filter Jug Glass Light Blue (2.5 L) Includes 1 Maxtra Pure Performance Cartridge - Premium Design Glass Jug, Reduces Limescale, Chlorine, Pesticides, Metals such as Lead

I got this to replace a prehistoric all-plastic Brita filter jug, well over 20 years old but becoming more difficult to clean properly as the plastic became scuffed over the years.No such issues with this shiny new glass jug of course.It's nice to see the design improvements - a properly sealing lid and filtered/unfiltered water kept apart so no mixing of pure/impure to which the earlier one was susceptible.But I had to chuckle at the use of technology for technology's sake - the "smart" battery-powered cartridge lifetime indicator with a battery that can't be changed. A 5 year life, according to the instructions, after which it's chucked away (responsibly).I assume replacements are available? The instructions don't say.My earlier jug just had two small inset clicky wheels - one for the day and the other for the month, so it was a simple matter to set the predicted expiration date for the cartridge especially as that would vary depending on use.No batteries needed and no disposal precautions. It never went wrong even once. ;)I'm a little suspicious of the button's claimed prediction abilities for the cartridge lifetime, since it's a sealed plastic button making no contact with anything. Presumably it senses being picked up and tilted?Dunno, but time will tell I guess.

Nice quality. Thanks.

Good value for the money spent and agreat water taste

Brought this jug to get away from plastics. Thought the size is good. Outer material of the jug is glass. The inner where the filter sits in is plastic unfortunately. Still good keep out of direct sunlight as a tip.

Very good.Easy to clean .Great value

It does really good filtering.

Extremely low quality. Glass is very, very thin and cracks easily even when handled with care. I will not be buying a replacement Brita - I will be switching to another brand.

Best britra - go for it!

Belle qualité de la carafe, même si le verre semble un peu fragile.

Devo ammettere che avevo dei dubbi sulla qualità dell' acqua prodotta da questa caraffa in vetro, poi però leggendo le recensioni mi sono convito ad acquistarla.Devo dire che è un ottimo prodotto e la qualità dell' acqua filtrata è ottima.Io vivo a sud di Milano ed in questa zona l' acqua è piuttosto calcarea e quindi dal gusto "pesante" propio per la quantità di calcare disciolto.Ho quindi acquistato i filtri specifici per acque con molto calcare e devo dire che il risultato è ottimo, l' acqua risulta decisamente più "leggera" e piacevole da bere.Cosiglio assolutamente questa caraffa in vetro che risulta piu igenica e facile da lavare rispetto a quelle in plastica.Per limitarne il peso è fatta di vetro piuttosto sottile che può risultare fragile , consiglio vivamente di dotarla della protezione in silicone per il fondo "GLACIER FRESH" come ho fatto io, la potete trovare sempre tra gli articoli Amazon

Dzbanek nie byle jaki, chociaż z pustego i Salomon nie naleje. Wygląda na to, że ucho ma mocne, można mu zaufać . Natomiast filtracja zależy od wkładu filtrującego, a nie od dzbanka. Ledowy wskaźnik zużycia wkładu działa, ale jego wskazania są orientacyjne.

It is very fragile and it is quite difficult to remove the lid. I am not going to buy this same item again.

I love this glass and works very well
