Brita UltraMax Large Water Dispenser With Standard Filter, BPA-Free, Reduces Copper, Cadmium and Mercury Impurities, Lasts 2 Months or 40 Gallons, Includes 1 Filter, Kitchen Accessories, Large 27-Cup

First of all, I love this Brita. It fits perfectly in my fridge, has great capacity, filters water quickly, water tastes great, etc. Highly recommend. After a few weeks of using this filter, it started leaking. First a little, then a lot. I thought it was broken. I exchanged it for a new one. Then after a few weeks, that one started leaking. I went down some Reddit sub threads and found a potential fix that seemed so obvious but easy, and it worked! If your filter starts leaking, let the tap “snap” back, instead of closing it gently. When closing it gently, the valve doesn’t always close fully, but it does when you let the tap “snap”.

We used the build-in water dispenser from our refrigerator for years and were eventually just tried of the slow water flow and expensive filters. We decided to try one of these even though we were hesitant to give up space in our refrigerator. After just a day or so, we knew we made the right call! The cons: it sucks to fill up. Yes, use the water line through refrigerator was much easier to use as we didn't have to fill it up. So there's no getting around that. But, we just try to top it off each day so that it never gets too low. It's not hard to fill up, it just takes time since you have to let it slowly drain. So don't let it get too empty! The pros: much colder water, faster water flow, and cheaper filters. Our refrigerator filters are $50+ so these are much cheaper. The water flow to fill our bottles is also much faster than our built-in fridge water. And on top of that, the water is colder which is a nice perk. Overall, definitely recommend! Note: I forgot to mention, our first unit had a leaky spigot. It would drip in our fridge and was quite messy. I contacted Brita and they sent me a replacement unit which has been great for several months now.

This water filter is the perfect size and shape for my household. It's slim and tall, but not too tall to fit in the middle or bottom shelf of my fridge. I used to have a water filter that screwed onto the sink tap, but this took up too much space from our relatively shallow sink basin, so we switched to this. It was a great decision. This water filter does not actually have a filter change indicator light, but it comes with a sticker to indicate the next time it should be changed. The taste and clarity of the water is perfect and I am picky about water. I'm very happy to have found a better solution in this filter tank.

Brita. makes the very best water filter container. don’t drink water from faucet this will take all the bad elements from your water.

So I bought this without reading the reviews and thought that it'd be something I might not wind up using. Well, it came, I put it in the fridge, and everyone immediately fell in love with it, including my teenagers, which I hadn't expected at all. Then after a day, it started leaking. It made me insane. One issue is that with the design of the spigot, when our fridge door shuts, it pushes the water filter back. Then, when you open the fridge again, you have to pull the Brita forward before trying to get water because otherwise, the water will splash all over the fridge. So there was much sticking of post it notes and warning everyone and suspecting who was not doing it right. The problem was, everyone loved the filter and kept using it and I was mopping up the water all the time. Then, I was home alone and realized that it was leaking by itself. I read the reviews at last and learned it was a common issue, esp in the fridge, I think because some of the parts contract when cold. Mine stopped leaking if I kept it on the counter. I tried all the easy fixes, nothing worked. So I returned it, got a replacement and did what one of the reviews said, which was to buy this other spigot and replace it on my new one. It is PERFECT. It fixed both problems. The design somehow allows me to close my fridge without it affecting the placement of the Brita. It doesn't leak at all. It was super easy to replace, like you literally just unscrew the existing spigot and screw the new one in (you don't use one of the stainless steel plates in the front because it won't fit but it doesn't affect it at all). So no more needing to move the Brita after closing the fridge door, no more water in my fridge and everyone is using this thing all day long. The water tastes amazing. This is the spigot I got based on the other reviews (Dozyant): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RPBQBQ4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I love the sleek look Easy set up, filters quickly. I rent an apartment so a filter attachment to a sink isn’t truly an option- this is a great alternative for me and my family

Easy to clean, easy to fill. Water tastes great.

My family just moved to a new area and needed a water filter. It was delivered overnight and we love the taste of the water. Although after 2 weeks it started leaking right from the tap. After doing more research, it looks like this is common. Working on getting a replacement.

I've been a long time Brita customer. Decided to try out this larger water dispenser. On my first order, the dispenser came with a crack right above the tap. I thought it was a cosmetic defect and added water and was assured that it was a crack as water started leaking from the crack. My thought was that the seller placed the filter unsecured in the tank and with the shipping and moving, the filter has cracked the tank from the inside. Fortunately, Amazon customer support provided me with a refund. I was determined to get my Brita XL filter so I've placed another order. This time, this tank came plastic wrapped. The filter was secured. However, I noticed that right above the tap (same spot as before), there was a crack (the plastic wrap still on, the kind that is hot-sealed, not taped-sealed). Twice this happened, in two separate orders! Returned my product, not sure if I'm making a third order... I wouldn't even think about ordering but I just bought an expensive box of Brita long-lasting filter (the premium kind that filters for more contaminants and lasts 6 months) for my dispenser which would go to waste unless I get another Brita dispenser. Order at your own risk!

Provide clean and safe water

Great option for cold fresh drinking water - easy to fill, clean, and doesn't tax the space on the inside of your fridge. Ideal !

Es el tercero que compro, dos han sido para regalo porque prueban el agua filtrada y quedan satisfechos con el sabor y calidad. Viene con un filtro para dos meses pero aconsejo comprar el paquete de dos filtros que duran 6 meses (para dos adultos) o 432 litros o 108 rellenos a máxima capacidad. Esta versión al ser más económica no tiene el reloj de ayuda para tiempo de uso, pero que no es en absoluto necesario, con un calendario de papel registras las fechas de inicio y termino y listo (o por uso en litros). Recomendable

Bought this as a temporary solution due to water machine breakdown and we are liking it. Slim design fits in fridge comfortably next to the juice. Been using it a few months and the tap is still working as it did the day we got it. Uses the standard brita filter which is all we need to filter our area's tap water.
