We have been using the Brita filter jug for may years but have recently bought two further jugs and they do exactly what we expected. My only issue is with the lid of the jug which on one of the jugs is not working after only one wash of the jug and it is anticipated the other one will follow suit. Decided now that it is not worth just hand washing so will also put the lid in the dishwasher. This has always been an issue with the jug and something that Brita needs to improve on.
