I love my Brita Filtered water jug, I have had a few over the years, the only nagging   problems with this model being, 1: the water spout lid (thin plastic hinged lid) seems to perpetuate dribbling when pouring, which can lead to a large pool of wasted water on work tops or on the floor. point 2: ingress of water into the handle which despite attempted cleaning has turned lime green, which in turn does not make the product look desirable but it still functions, case in point water supply contaminated after water board work on the water mains in the area and the Brita filter removed all bad taste from the clearly contaminated supply giving me lovely clean fresh  water . 3: the jug indecator failed after the first month and is not cost effective to replace due to the expence of replacement.
