I own two of these... one for my home and another for my office.  I appreciate the large capacity, and also the aesthetic design.  Well worth it.  I also own a few of the pitchers, but if you have the countertop space where this can go, there's no difficulties in refilling the reservoir.  Highly recommended!  The biggest downside, is that sometimes the filter doesn't drain, so you have to 'burp it like a baby' to get excess bubbles out of the filter, and then clean water pours through easily.
