I've had this pitcher for several years, and really like the quality of the filtered water, but the pitcher itself has a couple of flaws.  1. There should really be a version without the spigot on it, I really don't know why this is on there at all, since they make versions that are meant to sit on a shelf or counter and use a spigot.  2. There's some kind of design flaw that causes pouring to dribble out as you're stopping the pour if the pitcher is more than about 1/3 full, getting water on the table or floor.  3. If it's almost empty, the whole top part can pop out when pouring.  That said, I do like that the TDS monitor is always handy.
