Question: how do you remove the part that holds the filter from the basin? I'm afraid to damage this if I try to force it.
Document: Mine isn't leaking yet after about a month of everyday use, however I can easily see why it might start -- the steel it is made from is so thin and flimsy, I'm afraid to bump it into something and bend it out of proper shape, which might cause gaps between the plastic window and the rest of the pitcher -- a sure source of a leak.
I bought this product because I'm trying to get rid of my plastic products.The idea of having a steel stainless filter pitcher seduced me form the beginning (it was when the product was not even available for selling yet) and I was looking forward to be able to order it.I used it for two days and finally returned to my old Brita. Why ? the metallic taste of the water!Be aware of that before ordering.
My only complaint about this pitcher is that it pours rather slowly once the water is filtered. Seems the little lid flap is enough to slow it down--guess I could just remove it. Otherwise, I have none of the other complaints I've seen here. I've used it heavily and have had no leaks or problems with it other than the lid. In fact, I'm buying a second one soon because I need one for my writing cabin, and it's the only stainless one I can find on the market.
It is about the width of a gallon of milk and fits perfectly in my fridge door. There is a stainless steel grate just inside the spout so you can use this to serve beverages with ice in them if you remove the plastic filter holder (which is very easy to do!)
I really like the filter. It works quickly and the water tastes good. It is very lightweight in case you want to travel with it. I wish it did not have any plastic or the plastic inside was BPA free. I try not to leave the water in it too long in case this is a concern.
then threw away the old Britta.PROS:~light weight~easy to clean~nearly no plastic(until they make a stainless steel or glass filter we can't escape plastic 100%)~water tastes greatCONS:~it sweats like a dehumidifier when it is taken out of the refrigerator~holds about 8 1/2 cups of water, not the advertised 10, which is a minor complaint.
Wanted to avoid plastic but the top inside part is plastic. A little heavy when full but nice to have a full pitcher available. As usual with these kinds of pitchers you have to wait for the top part to empty down before filling again, making a 2-3 step process to wait when I want the pitcher full. A bit heavy when full. I still like it better than any Brita pitcher.
So far I am pleased with my pitcher. I wanted to get away from plastic containers and this mostly does the trick. My only concern is that there still seems to be a lot of plastic on it - the top part and the part that shows how full it is, but I couldn't find a better alternative and it's mostly steel. My other comment is that the steel feels a bit flimsy. This doesn't seem to be an issu so far though. Wate tastes great. Overall am glad I bought it.
The flap is hinged and doesn't actually come apart from the rest of the lid, and I am afraid it will break off one day, but so far so good. I wish it just had a simple slide or clip attachment so it could be easily removed for cleaning.
I like this product but I can still taste a little chlorine in my drinking water. However, I didn't read the description well enough so I'm not sure if it even supposed to take the chlorine taste out of the water. Overall, its good and I use it ALL the time. It looks really nice too and I received it in perfect condition. I would recommend this product.
Answer: all the parts come out pretty easy, you will not damage it. it does take a little bit of force to pull it all apart but like i said you will not damage it. i have done this several times to clean the pitcher or change out the filter and i did not damage it. hope this helps!
