 Product In Excellent Condition! Costumer service cero! June 1, 2008

Wrote to the a couple of emails and never got an answer. Had no idea the product was on its way when suddenly I received a package.
 looks slick and works well May 17, 2008
The Brita Riviera Water Pitcher (chrome) looks nice, fits into the fridge nicely and holds enough water to fill 4+ very large glasses. The only critique is that there is no seal between the section that holds unfiltered water and the section that holds filtered water, so that when you pour while waiting for water to filter, the unfiltered water spills over into your filtered water.

another poster remarked about this as well, check the bottom of your pitcher, it maybe turning green with algae. We finally returned it in digust.
Sure it's pretty. Can I drink "pretty"? April 13, 2008

Other reviewers have said the same but I will reiterate:
--Filter timer is a joke. It only counts time, not gallons filtered. I don't need this because we already own several calendars.
--Sectional lid must have been designed by the marketing department. They fit together awkwardly and fall off easily. If you try to pour a class of water with even a little still left in the upper chamber, the whole assembly falls apart as you are pouring.
--Lower compartment easily contaminated by unfiltered water.
--My unit grows ALGAE in it after about 10 days. You would think that I must leave it on a sunny window sill, but I don't. It lives on the kitchen counter and I live in the Pacific Northwest where it is cloudy 9 months out of the year. So, anyway, the unit has to go in the dishwasher once a week (hand washing doesn't cut it....algae grows right back). Previous Brita (we've had many) and PUR pitchers did not have this problem.
As a consumer I want to ask: What is so friggin hard about designing a decent water pitcher for cripes sake?!!!
Generally this pitcher demonstrates what is wrong with so many companies that make consumer products. They pay damn little attention to engineering a good product and put all their effort into giving it "purchase appeal" and marketing it.
Try something else.
Pitcher leaks too much March 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Brita filters are universal and fit every pitcher, naturally the filter will make the water taste good or better..."Duh". I don't know why people keep writing reviews about how good the water taste? Review the pitcher please, that is what you have purchased. First off, I live in New York City which has the best tasting water in the country, so my water always tastes good. Just to make it taste a bit better I use the Brita filter, gotta be perfect.
Anyway this pitcher is not that great, I like the little digital count down that tells you when to give Brita money, thats a nice feature. However the pitcher is not well thought out at all. Right after you fill it up you have to set it down, if you move it, it splashes around and water leaks through the levered lid towards the handle. Also it seems to trap water along the side seams, which eventually leads to fungal growth. Actually I don't like the idea of it trapping water anywhere since moisture even in the fridge promotes fungal growth. Its annoying to have to clean this thing as well, which you have to do. To be Honest if you can go with the faucet attachment and a nice covered glass pitcher its the easiest and cleanest solution. Mold likes Plastic things in the fridge, I don't know why...Its 2008 Please hire some real Industrial designers and make a nice pitcher that is healthy to use...
