Product review (2 stars): Cannot Recommend
I loved the look of this pitcher, and I got it on sale on Amazon day this summer, but it is frustrating to fill, so much so that instead of buying replacement filters I will buy a new pitcher.

The problem is that the reservoir on top is very small, so to fill it up I have to sit at the sink and baby sit it. Pour a little in, watch it go through, pour a little in, watch it go through... you can't even put in a full glass of watch to replace the one you just took. It does filter fast than the Brita I had before it, but not fast enough to justify the small reservoir on top. Everyone I live with complains about this pitcher.

Pros:
The water does taste good, it seems to filter well.
Beautiful design.
Pours well.

Cons:
The top reservoir hold a tiny amount of water so even though it filters faster than other pitchers it actually takes longer to til because you have to keep filling the top over and over to fill the whole pitcher.

The bottom line is that if I could do it over, I would not buy this pitcher again, and I would never recommend it tot a friend.
