The Filtrete Water Pitcher uses revolutionary fast flow filtrationtechnology to fill the pitcher with fresh, great-tasting water 3 times fasterthan traditional filtering pitchers and holds more water than traditionalfiltering pitchers that are the same size. The filter can treat up to 50gallons (189 L) of water (about 1.5 months worth!) Whether at home,college or at the office, the wait for great tasting water is over!
| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  Great size, By This review is from: Filtrete Water Pitcher WP02-WH-8, 8 Cup (Kitchen) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) As advertised, this pitcher has an excellent "fridge friendly" size.Others pointed out that 3M aren't very specific what the filter, uh, filters. We get municipal water that's clean and safe enough that it's not much of a concern, it's just nice to have the water taste a little better and the filter does that fine. Maybe I'm naive, but being a 3M product I have pretty good confidence in the filter. The water runs through the filter quickly, as advertised, but the reservoir on top of the filter is pretty small, so filling the pitcher still ends up being a bit of a slow process as you can only add a little bit at a time (or have to put it under the tap with the water just running the speed of the filter). This is by far the biggest drawback. Another reviewer had trouble with the lid not fitting on the pitcher -- on ours that's not a problem; everything is fitting together fine. The...

I have tried a number of water filtering systems, and encountered frustrations with all. I've had it delivered, but the bottles grew algae. I've Brita-ed but, when left out, the container grew algae, and when kept in the refrigerator, it took up too much space. I've used filtering systems on the tap water (still tastes funny) and through the refrigerator filter, which gets slow very quickly. So I was not expecting any miracles here.And while it's not a miracle, the Filtrete Water Pitcher WP02-WH-8, 8 Cup is pretty cool. Here's why: 1. It actually fits in your refrigerator door. Oh, I know. Right now that's jammed with pickle relish and maraschino cherries and a half jar of chutney and some Dijon mustard and lemon curd and a stick or two of butter. But trust me. Toss the pickle relish, which would grow mold if it could, and this baby will actually fit in the door. 2. It's easy and fast to fill. Take the top off, set it in the sink, and run...

I have been getting back on the program recently, losing some weight, and eating healthy. I bought Dr Fuhrman's Eat for Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) and have made major strides. One thing I remember from a long time ago was the Stillman water diet. In it I learned that if you drank 8 glasses of water per day, whatever else you did you would lose 1 pound per week just doing that. Of course if you are on a binge and gaining weight you wouldn't lose a pound, but you would gain 7 lbs that week instead of 8. You get the idea, drink 8 glasses of water per day and make a one pound difference weekly in your weight. So in a year, that alone would be 52 pounds difference. So I decided the only way I would know if I am getting in my 8 glasses was to have a water pitcher in the fridge, and then along comes... Read more |

| 56 of 56 people found the following review helpful Great Pitcher, including lid?, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Luminarc Quadro 2-Liter Glass Pitcher with Lid (Kitchen) I like this container, but I like the 57 oz version better with the external handle better, as it's easier to hold. The hard plastic cap rotates freely, and allows pouring without removal. This cap doesn't provide an air-tight seal (the cap will leak if you need to shake the contents). Other than that, highly rated! 83 of 86 people found the following review helpful Nice pitcher but glass is more thin than thick when compared to similarly sized glass containers., By This review is from: Luminarc Quadro 2-Liter Glass Pitcher with Lid (Kitchen)  To repeat something I say in the 1 minute video, the Luminarc Quadro Pitcher weighs under 2 lbs. The glass Oster blender jar weighs about 2 1/2 lbs., and the other pitcher weighs a bit over 3 lbs. I was considering buying the Quadro from Amazon when I happened to see a shelf full of them in my local WalMart selling for a few cents less than half of Amazon's current price. When examining it in the store I honestly couldn't tell if it was glass or plastic, and the middle-aged gal who checked out my order opined that it was definitely plastic. (I mention her age because she reminisced about how when she was much younger, glass pitchers were typically made of heavy glass that was obviously glass and not plastic.) I'm now convinced it's glass, but as I attempt to illustrate in the video (by providing weights and by tapping each container with a nylon spoon), it is definitely not of "thick glass construction," as it says in the description, at least not...

It does not drip, the lid is good, and it does not take up much space. I like that it does not have a handle. Given a full container, it is easy to use. You will not go wrong with this purchase. |
