Description
This six-cup pitcher is designed to fit easily into crammed spaces. We included features like an electronic filter indicator, an easy-fill lid and an improved filter fit, so you can have all the functions of our higher-end models even if you're low on space. The filter leaves no black flecks and reduces the taste and odor of chlorine as well as mercury, copper or other contaminants that can be found in water.

Great water. Pitcher has room for improvement
There is no doubt about it that Brita water tastes better! I drink more water utilizing the Brita filter system. It is convenient and easy to use. The pitcher is slim and fits easily into the fridge. However, this pitcher model could use some improvements. The lid does not stay on very well - it does not click into place or secure to the base. While you should never pour the pitcher while it is filtering water to avoid spills, even once all of the water has drained through, the lid can easily come off. I have taped mine on each side to prevent this issue. So yes, get a Brita pitcher, but I recommend looking at other models.

Don't Buy This Pitcher!!
I have the same problems as everyone else:
1. After filling the pitcher, the water spills out of the sides. Airtight top anyone? Brita engineer? Product Development? Bueller?
2. The top does not snap on, it sits ever so daintily on top of the pitcher, ready to fall off like Miss Muffett right when you're ready to pour for guests! ARGH!
3. After filing the pitcher, struggling to keep water from spilling out and the top from falling off, you will- without fail- get a dripping trail of water all over the inside of your fridge from this sorry excuse for a carafe.
Get thee to a better pitcher, ASAP!

Major design flaws
(Zero stars for this model.) As many other users have said- the design of the lid on this model is totally non-functional. Lid falls off with the slightest touch, spout lid either hinders pouring completely, so that water spills out of the spout sides, or breaks off into your glass. Requires two hands (minimum) to use this pitcher, which is ridiculous for such a small model.
However, customer Brita customer service responded to my complaint email promptly and replaced this with an Atlantis model. (5 stars for customer service!)
Save yourself the hassle and just get the Atlantis to begin with.

Horrible design
I never write reviews, but this pitcher is so poorly designed I had to help prevent others from making the same mistake I did. I thought the covered spout would be great; instead every time I pour, water runs down the front of the pitcher and gets everywhere. Also there's a little opening in the back of the top, and when you fill it, if you're not careful water sloshes out of the opening and runs down the handle and all over the floor. I wish I could return it but I threw away the box. If you want a slim design pitcher, get the one with the uncovered spout.

cheaply made and disfunctional
I have had this pitcher for about four months now and am so frustrated it. I don't even know where to start. When you fill it with water, some of the water drains into the handle so that it slowly leaks all over the place; the lid doesn't latch on well enough so that when you go to pour, it falls right off; as a result of this the little spout hinge broke so that there is no longer a cover on the spout; the status reset button on the top broke after pushing it about four times so that now it doesn't work and just flashes colors whenever you pour. The taste of the water has been excellent, but it is a shame to find a flagship product so flawed from a company that has been around for as long as it has. I am very disappointed.

poorly designed--go with a larger dispenser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we bought this after our ultramax style in-fridge dispenser broke after many years of use. don't make our mistake! this one is very poorly designed. the flip-stopper for the pouring spout actually keeps the water from flowing well/regularly into a cup or sports bottle. the worst part is the top, which falls off if you look at it wrong, and especially when you are pouring water at more than a 15' angle. when this happens and you still have some water in your upper dispenser, you get a big spill. we've had to tape the top on. we're actually drinking LESS water now because this thing is such a pain...time to go back to the dispenser unit.

Spacesaver poorly designed
the Spacesaver item is slim and fits well inside the refrig but the top cap falls off constantly, water leaks out of the handle, the pour spout is too wide--it makes a mess, and the battery does not work (mine still shows "green for good" after months of use so I have to know when to change the filters myself). I would not recommend this product to anyone until they fix everything listed above (or get rid of the battery/filter element as it's not useful).

Original lid 1 star, new lid 5 stars.
As many others have noted, the two major design flaws of the Space Saver are :
1) The lid won't stay on.
2) The open-ended handle has a tendency to fill with water and then dribble it all over the kitchen counter, and/or floor, and/or fridge.
Well, the water issue is easy enough to resolve by just being a little more careful and never filling the upper reservoir to the top, but it took a seriously frustrated email to Brita and a very responsive rep to solve the lid problem, which they kindly did by sending us a brand new one that... Hallelujah!.... actually locks securely in place!! And they've even replaced the clunky calender dials with little lights that tell you when it's time to replace the filter. Nice!
And having just seen that Amazon has 83 very negative 1 star reviews but only thirteen 5 star reviews for this otherwise nicely designed pitcher (i.e. sizewise and shapewise), I strongly suggest that Brita makes this excellent new lid available on their site so they can win back, as they did us, some of the formerly loyal customers that they've inadvertently P.O'ed with these uncharacteristic design oversights.
