I purchased this jug just before Christmas as the monthly timer on my old jug had given up the ghost after 6 years use, which I thought was quite good. The Style is so much easier to use and fill and has no monthly timer just a little light that changes colour as the filter gets older. As I registered the jug with Brita when I first bought it Brita now send me an email when the filter needs changing, that I find very useful. Thanks Brita nice jug!!!
