Best of it class I bought this because I got tired of lugging those bottles in and out of the house for my kids and thought there has to be a better way of filling water for them. And well there it was looking at me right on the shelf. Thank you this is so much easier for then to just fill their own bottles when they need to then me always buying more. 2011-06-28 17:50:29
hard to remove the reservoir I am surprised at how removing the reservoir from the pitcher is so difficult. I tried so many things to get the reservoir out after getting the brand new dispenser type Brita pitcher today from Costco. There was a coupon on the pitcher portion, which I had to remove, and I did not expect the reservoir is going to be that tightly attached, and I am planning to return this. It would be great if there is a way it can be removed easily to have this product user friendly. 2011-07-10 00:26:32
great product! We have this brita and love it. Its great. I have to fill it every day!! But the kids drink more water then juice so I don't mind. 2011-07-26 18:52:16
Love it We purchased this about 2 years ago. The only thing I don't like about it, is it leaks somewhere, and has since we got it. We used to keep it in the fridge, but the mess was annoying. Now we just keep it on the counter near the sink so no more mess to clean up. Maybe we just got one that wasn't great. But we do love it, and if we ever want to get one for the fridge I would recommend it. Love the ease of use, just fill up your cup! No more bottles! 2011-07-26 19:01:37
Fabulous!!! I love the amount of space it doesn't take up, the great tasting water and the economical and environmental impact it has! Love, love, love! 2011-07-26 19:06:10
Great product. I love this product. I keep it filled in my fridge all the time even tho I have filtered water in the door of my fridge. 2011-07-26 19:09:27
great features except cleaning Cleaning on the inside was my only concern. Otherwise, it was great to have in the fridge for cold water for the kids. 2011-07-26 19:12:20
Great for Family This is a great depository for families because of the volume it holds. We have even taken it on camping trips because of its space saving and excellent water filtration. 2011-07-26 19:17:29
Love this pitcher We have had this pitcher for well over 5 years now. It gets used ALOT. Love the taste of the water and how easy it is to refill. There is even enough to use it for the 12 cup coffee maker. Makes the coffee taste better also. 2011-07-26 19:18:18
Great product! We bought this for our summer cottage and it is used all the time. Easy to fill and use. Our guests love having cold and great tasting water on hand. Much easier then hauling up cases of water!!! 2011-07-26 19:24:18
Love this product! I've had this product for over 2 years and I love it! It's so convenient and holds so much water. I can easily fill my water bottle multiple times a day for a few days because of how much water this product can hold. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone who drinks a lot of water and finds themselves refilling the pitcher too often! 2011-07-26 19:24:54
Convenient Healthiness I love that I'm drinking more water, and that the water is healthy. If I didn't have this I would not drink enough water each day. 2011-07-26 19:31:38
A Lifesaver! I live in a large urban municipality that has been rated to have some of the WORST tasting water in the United States. Without this dispenser, I would have to buy bottled water. It is a lifesaver at taking poor quality water and making it drinkable. 2011-07-26 19:41:06
Great product We recently purchased one of these water flters and we love it. Not only is the water filtered and great tasting it is also ice cold. Definately worth the it to sacrifice some fridge space for this great product. We can come in from working on the farm and get a quick ice cold, filtered drink of water. 2011-07-26 19:48:07
Great for use when the refrigerator tap is acting up! When our refrigerator water dispenser's hose froze up, we grabbed one of these from Costco to "tide us over". We love it! We're thinking of using it exlusively for our drinking water needs. It conveniently fits in the fridge and dispenses faster than our fridge's, making that long wait to fill the coffee decanter much shorter. To answer someone else's question about getting he filter holder tray out, once I added detergent to te resevoir and started running water, the suds lifted it right off! lol 2011-07-26 19:48:24
Great water So handy to have great tasting water at your fingertips. Easy to fill and use. 2011-07-26 19:48:45
hard to beat features saves me lots of money over buying bottled water.wished i had bought one a long time ago 2011-07-26 19:59:17
It leaks I bought this particular dispenser because of the amout of water it would hold both in the upper and lower reservoirs. Much to my disappointment, it leaks from the spigot (at the dispenser) when the lower reservoir is more than 3/4 of the way full. I tried tighening it and that did not work. I should have bought the pitcher, since that's pretty much all the water it will hold and it would have been a cheaper option. 2011-07-26 20:09:25
Great product. The only thing I don't like about this water filtration system is that the automatic filter time stopped working on my unit. Otherwise, it is easy to use, refill, and provides great tasting water! 2011-07-26 20:22:02
Great size I like the size of this dispenser (even though my husband and I still have to refill every day and a half). 2011-07-26 20:33:13
meets our needs and is easy to use We have been using this item for over 2 years and we haven't had any issues. The filter is easy to insert, the water filters well into the basin below and the valve and handle have always worked. I would highly recommend this in lieu of a pitcher that has to be refilled more often. 2011-07-26 20:34:42
Loving this size! I have had other pitchers that were smaller and this one is the best...much less filling up and works wonderfully for our family of 4. Even my 4 and 6 year old get their own cold water right from the fridge when they are thirsty. 2011-07-26 20:36:29
Great for families Have had this dispenser for a couple of years and love it. Easy to use and change the filter and holds pleanty of water. 2011-07-26 20:47:43
I LOVE my Brita This is actually my 2nd dispenser, I recklessly knocked the 1st one off the counter, and it shattered into pieces.(unfortunately) water was everywhere, but I yelled,,help come quick. Everyone came running, I said clean this up, I need to go get another one before the store closes! ~~true story~~ I didn't want to do with out my brita at all, we drink lots of water and it makes the difference, and saves $$$ on buying bottled water. I am thinking about getting another not only for a spare, but to use in cooking and coffee pot too. Just keep it on the counter maybe,,,but I don't know, it will probably end up in the frige too....:) <3 2011-07-26 20:55:47
You'll love it I went to visit my mother in Alaska and saw this Brita dispenser. I was surprised they were made this large. I went straight home and brought me one and thinking about buying another. I love this product 2011-07-26 20:59:53
Excellent Product I use Brita Tap Filter, Brita Pittchers and the Brita Ultramax. Great ! Easy to use, make water taste very good and gets rid of the strong chlorine taste we have here where I live. Would not want to be without them 2011-07-26 21:14:35
Great Product We love our Brita dispenser. It holds plenty of great tasting water for our family of five. My only complaint is how cumbersome it can be getting it in and out of the refrigerator to fill up. 2011-07-26 21:19:35
Great Product A little difficult to maneuver sometimes but well worth it! 2011-07-26 21:20:11
Love it! I'm drinking much more water now because it's cold and tastes good. Easy refill from the top front. 2011-07-26 21:20:29
Large capacity/easy to use This water filter is very practical and useful. You will get great tasting water every time. We love the large capacity of this particular model. The spigot is a great feature. That way we can easily fill water bottles for work, use the water to make iced tea or lemonade, or simply fill up a glass. Size and shape make it easy to store in the refrigerator. If cold water immediately is not a concern, this would fit great on the counter as well. I have often considered doing this. 2011-07-26 21:27:12
Love How it fits in our Fridge!! Love my new Ultra Max! I bought this dispenser on sale @ Costco, so that was even better. We keep it in the fridge so we always will have fresh clean water! I love it!! :-) 2011-07-26 21:29:11
Decent Trickles a little slow through the filter, not too bad. Cleaning is a slight chore, again, not too bad. 2011-07-26 21:29:52
Great product! The only flaw is mine is old and some of the filters don't fit properly. Some are a little loose and some are very tight. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and will do so again if needed. 2011-07-26 21:36:20
Cost alot less than bottled water!! I purchased this item back in 2004, used it for 1 year then stopped using it when we got a refrigerator with a water dispenser in it. We started using it again in 2010 when we got a different fridge without the water. I found this time the brita dispenser did not fit in my sink for easy refills so I had to fill it with a different pitcher...also, I found that there was alot of the carbon at the bottom of the dispenser long after the first couple of fills. Oh, and the filters have up quite a bit in price. Would like to see more coupons available for these products. All in all, I would recommend purchasing!! 2011-07-26 21:53:09
Awesome Product! I wish I had bought this sooner. It has saved my family from a soda addiction. Thank you BRITA! 2011-07-26 22:14:12
great container I like the size of it. I drink a lot of water everyday so it is big enough for a family of 3 for one day. 2011-07-26 22:15:08
Just an all around great product! I love this Brita Dispenser, it is easy to refill with water, just lift the small tab open & pour in fresh water! The filter is also easy to change & it has a re-usable calendar to change the filter. It has an easy to use tap to dispense water & it fits easily into your refrigerator without taking up alot of room. Water is always icy cold & tastes fabulous!!! I had the pitcher first which I loved but once I got this dispenser I loved it even more!!!! 2011-07-26 22:19:05
An investment in your health. If you have a large family like me, the ultramax is prefect. Its large capacity, easy to pour spout make it a great choice. Its simple to fill and one or two fills a day are more then enough for a family of 3-4. The best part of this product is the benefit it has on your health. My family drinks more water now that we have the Ultramax. You'll love the way you feel when your getting enough water in your diet. And we all feel better knowing we aren't filling landfills with disposable plastic water bottles any more. Over all this product is now and forever a staple of our home and our lives. 2011-07-26 22:20:14
Great product! We have a dispenser and 2 pitchers. We always have filtered water ready. We find we drink more water because of this! We love Brita products!! 2011-07-26 22:20:43
This Product has great features. I enjoy my water at room temperature. This large capacity dispenser conveniently allows me to stay hydrated throughout the day. I just refill at night before I go to bed. Simple, healthy, and convenient. 2011-07-26 22:29:16
Better than bottled !! My tap water used to be good, came from a sierra mountain river. It's great water but now tastes like a pond. Since I started using the Ultramax my water is sweet and better than bottled, and I know where it came from Fits perfectly in the refrigerator, spigot does not leak. I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality. 2011-07-26 22:46:53
Excellent way to drink filtered water! The dispenser is easy to fill and clean. It also provides me with great tasting water to drink and use. Unfortunately my dispenser developed a leak at the spout. Fortunately, this was easily fixed by tightening the spout slightly. Brita filters provide a dramatic improvement in the taste of my water from the tap. 2011-07-26 23:23:58
Get's the job done My new apt faucet wouldn't allow me to use my old PUR filter on the faucet and this is all they had at Target. It works well, would rather have my old faucet mount, pain to keep refilling. 2011-07-26 23:50:01
Great way to get my water! It is a great way to get clean water and keep it in the fride. My son is also able to use it so easy way for my little one to drink water. 2011-07-26 23:54:41
Awesome Product Good product for someone who drinks alot of water and wants to keep it cold. I Love it 2011-07-26 23:58:38
Was I really drinking water that tasted like that? The Brita dispenser has made a tremendous difference in the way my water taste. I am now drinking so much more water than before and have noticed a drop in my weight as a result. I also love the fact that you can sign up for reminders and Brita will remind you when it's time to change your filter. I truly love this wonderful product. How did I live without it? 2011-07-27 00:48:27
Great product to have on hand for fresh filtered water. Nice to have on hand for small, frequest fresh water drinks and also for guests to have cold filtered water without having to hand them a bottle. 2011-07-27 04:25:53
Wonderful I am so glad I decided to go with the largest bottle. With 3 teenagers, I am still refilling everyday, however they are drinking more water now than ever before. We all love the convenience of the dispenser and I keep it in the fridge. Perfect for this hot summer. 2011-07-27 06:44:50
So much better than a pitcher We love the Ultramax because it holds so much more than a Pitcher so there is no constantly filling up during these hot summer months. 2011-07-27 07:12:32
Good, mostly. Fills up quickly and tastes good. Like the dispenser but be very careful to fill nowhere near the top line or it will spill on its way back to the fridge. 2011-07-27 07:17:09
LARGE CAPACITY UNIT TAKES UP LESS SPACE THAN A WATER COOLER This unit is a perfect size compared to a full size water cooler. Fits great in our fridge. My family drinks a lot of water and the larger unit holds more to reduce re-filling like a normal Brita jug. Easy enough for my young girls to use. 2011-07-27 07:29:56
A great way to have great tasting water at your finger tips! I am on my second Ultramax dispenser. It is a convenient way to have cold, great tasting water on hand at all times! My only concern is that a small puddle of water accumulates under my 2 1/2 month old dispenser. I live in a dry climate and I am surprised condensation would be an issue. Any suggestions? 2011-07-27 07:47:56
Excellent product! Easy to fill and not too heavy when full. Simple storage on the refrigerator shelf. Makes filling water bottles or tea cups fast and easy. Refreshing taste literally at your fingertips! 2011-07-27 07:50:01
features :) Love my dispenser....filtered water ready when I am! And I don't have to move it. 2011-07-27 07:56:55
Great for the office My office doesn't have water coolers so I have this Brita in my office and it's so convenient and helps me to drink more water than having to keep refilling a bottle. 2011-07-27 08:01:04
Product makes getting cold water in any quantity easy I have not been a heavy duty water drinker, but I know it is healthy to consume as much water as possible throughout day (take your weight in lbs, divide in half, then drink take that number and drink that many oz of water. Ex 150lbs = 75 oz of water daily). For me, the water need to be cold, so this container has been great for getting just a cold glass of water, a pitcher of water for dinner, or making iced tea. And when you have guests, it is easy to put the water in a pitcher and refill the larger container so more cold water will soon be readily available 2011-07-27 08:05:35
Good product This is a good product overall but removing the reservoir from the pitcher is so difficult. 2011-07-27 08:07:25
Love my Brita My family drinks water as our primary beverage. We love the dispenser b/c it is convient to use even for our smaller children and it holds more water than the pitchers, which is less refill for us. The water definately has a fresh taste. 2011-07-27 08:08:29
Wouldn't drink our tap water without it! We love our Brita Ultramax! Our tap water is terrible but the Brita filter makes it wonderful. The despenser is easy to fill, the filters change in a snap and the water quality is great! 2011-07-27 08:09:42
great We use this product in our church and everyine loves itt. 2011-07-27 08:25:53
Great deal we keep this product in our refridegerator and its a great go and grab when needed 2011-07-27 08:35:09
Gets lots of use, reservoir hard to get out I love our dispenser. We had the pitcher, but we were refilling it all the time so we needed something bigger and the dispenser is the perfect size for us. However when I went to clean it the reservoir was VERY difficult to remove. It was suctioned in there with the condensation. I could never get it out and finally I stuck the whole thing outside on a hot day for a few hours to completely dry it out and it popped out right away. Other than that I love it. It saves us so much money! 2011-07-27 08:58:39
Clean & Simple Love using this dispenser. The taste of water from my tap is not the worst in the nation but after running through my Brita it is great. Assembly is a snap (literally). 2011-07-27 09:05:54
Excellent Product We drink alot of water. Our Brita dispenser provides enough ice cold water for the three of us for a day. The only way to improve on this product would be to have it fill itself. I like having it in the fridge because it keeps the water cold. No need to get ice and wait for the water to get cold. Excellent product. 2011-07-27 09:10:06
Great product, great tasting water The size is reasonable, fits in a fridge, and definitely needs to be refilled less often than the Brita water pitchers. The spout means that water does not need to finish filtering before pouring. The problem: The spout is mounted too high, and it does not drain fully, and tilting the dispenser does not help with the last 1/2" of water left. Other than that a great product, and great tasting water. 2011-07-27 09:38:15
Love it! My husband and I have been buying bottled water for years because we don't like the taste of our tap water...but with recycling payouts dropping dramatically we realized how much money we were wasting. The Brita dispenser makes having cold, good tasting water at our fingertips all day long very easy. We love it! 2011-07-27 09:47:18
Large capacity and great taste! Love this pitcher! The larger capacity is perfect for people who drink lots of water and who want it filtered and cold. We keep ours in the refrigerator, so we (almost) always have cold filtered water to drink. It's convenient to use, and it encourages water drinking. Great product! 2011-07-27 10:00:18
Great product for home or office We have been using the Brita Ultramax for several weeks and have found it to be easy to use. Our bottled water consumption has been cut to zero. We like the convenience of the product. The Brita Bottle is great for traveling especially through airport security. I find it much nicer not to have to purchase water after passing through security. 2011-07-27 10:32:20
This product is a great value. I have had my Brita dispenser for over 5 years and love it. It is easy to fill and convenient to use. 2011-07-27 10:43:50
Great features, great taste. This product helps remind me to drink more water! It tastes great and holds a lot. 2011-07-27 11:07:13
Great Product My Husband & I love Britta Products, especially the Ultramax dispenser & reusable Britta bottles. We use them on a daily basis. They are durable and easy to clean. They have enormously cut back on the amount of money we spent on water bottles. My only wish is that these would come in Colors like the Britta Pitchers..but other than that we Love our Britta Ultrama & Britta Bottles! 2011-07-27 11:33:57
Easy to Use; Holds Plenty of Water When setting up a a room for breaks, etc. there was no water line to it. This is our best choice. Capacity is important as well as good clean water. Also, it is the most inexpensive way to have filtered good tasting water. 2011-07-27 11:35:08
Great addition! Now that there are more of us in the house, it's great to have a larger supply of cold filtered water, as well as more water available to make ice cubes! The spigot makes it so convenient to get a quick fix of fresh tasting water. And the price is pretty reasonable - no more buying bottles for a bike ride or walk. Just fill it up! 2011-07-27 11:52:40
Great for families I not only use it for drinking, but also to use for making Ice tea or cooking. I do not like to use tap water so this is very handy when I want to make pitchers of lemonade or ice tea, or even cooking. 2011-07-27 14:08:21
eco friendly love that this product gives me great tasting water without the water bottle polution! 2011-07-27 14:11:52
Satisfied overall Having this big tank is a definite improvement over the regular size Brita pitcher since my family drinks water almost exclusively. The filters work great to purify the water and improve the flavor of it. Sometimes water leaks out of it through one of the seams in the spigot part, so perhaps that part could be redesigned? 2011-07-27 14:30:18
This is great! Fits in the shelf in 'fridge - I have cold, filtered water when I want it! 2011-07-27 14:42:27
I abslutely love this product!! I recommend this to everyone. I bought my mom one too :) 2011-07-27 15:38:09
It just works the best The design of my refridgerator is ideal for this model. It makes access to the water really easy. 2011-07-27 16:16:11
This products has good features The product i bought has good features. Unfortunately, I found out that there is an electronic reminder on some ultramax. I got the one without the electronic reminder. I have the sticker version. 2011-07-27 17:53:48
Great product! This has really helped me cut down on the use of bottled water! 2011-07-27 18:00:15
Very good Product by Brita A good product to use for every Healthy family in this world. 2011-07-27 20:24:17
This is great around the house We have this dispenser and it's great. The kids love it and it lasts a long time. 2011-07-27 20:28:13
This is perfect for the water loving homes! What I like most about this product is that it doesn't need to be refilled as often as the pitchers, so you always have chilled, filtered water! This is perfect if you live with lazy people who don't like to refill the pitchers :) 2011-07-27 20:50:00
Fantastic Product Great tasting, cold water at our fingertips! Plenty on hand for all the grandkids, when it's hot and humid!! 2011-07-27 21:03:01
Excellent use we use our brita every single day. it's easy to refill but hard to take the reservoir off to clean. even still, we love the brita ultramax. 2011-07-27 22:44:46
Great product Doesn't take up much room in the fridge and makes it super easy to fill my bottle. 2011-07-28 01:05:42
LOVE IT!! I have had this system for several years and absolutely love it! We drink more water now because it is easily accessible and tastes great! 2011-07-28 06:44:53
Just the right size This product is just great...perfect for families...just the right size for the fridge...kids love the easy spout feature...even my 3 yr.old can get water...and we all know if it's easy the kids will go for it...thanks for such a great product... 2011-07-28 08:01:26
Love the large capacity! We really love the large capacity and dispenser on this product. It is a little cumbersome to fill, but well worth it for the great tasting water! 2011-07-28 09:57:06
Perfect for a thirsty family great for people who drink lots of water with out a lot of hassel of refilling all the time 2011-07-28 10:45:09
Great Product! I store it in my refigerator and have consistent cold water on tap. Much better than a refrigerator dispenser for cold water. 2011-07-28 11:02:08
So Easy Its vary large so theres no need to constantly fill it. All you have to do is fill it once and your good to go for days. I really like that all I have to do is open my fridge and poor myself a great tasting ice coold glass of water. 2011-07-28 12:08:45
Love This Product I have been using Brita Filtered products for years and this is by far the best thing I have come across. The capacity is amazing. I don't have to refill the water as often as some others and it makes it taste amazing. 2011-07-28 12:44:26
This product accomodates our family wonderfully We as a family decided to cut back on the impact we were having on the environment, and this Brita filter was phase one of that step. I really love it because it is large enough to where I am not having to refill it constantly, but also not too large to fit my compact fridge. The lift dispenser is also great for my son, who just turned 5. He can operate it smoothly already! Thanks Brita! 2011-07-28 12:51:12
Good Water Filter Container This is useful in my fridge especially since my city water is not very good. Sometimes water drips out a little from the spout. For the most part this is a great water filter! 2011-07-28 15:58:30
This product is great for everyday use Wow, we love our dispenser and use it everyday to add water to our coffeemaker. We always like to add fresh water daily and knowing that we get an email to remind us to change the filter is an excellent way. thank you Brita for this product. would definitely recommend this to others. 2011-07-28 17:43:39
Great Product I bought this product when I decided I wanted to stop drinking soda. I love it , It's very easy to use and the water taste great...... 2011-07-28 18:00:05
Great product that makes a difference I have been surprised with the difference the Brita Dispenser has made in my family drinking more water. I grew up on tap water and never had a problem with using tap water. My wife and kids are a different story. They would only drink water from a plastic bottle. We decided to try the Brita Dispenser to save money and do our part in saving the environment. My family now drinks more water and enjoy the quality of water the filters produce. I even like it better than tap. 2011-07-28 19:04:55
Many positives Our family loves this dispenser! Either of the children can use it with ease, and it holds plenty of water. It fits easily on the top shelf in the refrigerator. We refill it about every 2 days. And I love the fact that it tells me when to change the filter. I have been using this type of dispenser for over 6 years, and I will continue to use it for many more! 2011-07-28 19:25:26
Great! Buy one This is the best way to get great tasting cold water. No complaints! 2011-07-28 20:01:00
Capacity The only negative about this product is that I wish it held more. Summertime means heavy usage, and I find myself filling it at least every other day. 2011-07-28 21:28:16
product is good based on other models on the market would prefer to be able to filter more water every day than the recommended amount. instructions does not state why the recommended amount to filter water each day is 2 pitchers of water- filter more than this each day for family of 4. 2011-07-28 23:01:37
Great Alternative We had tried several "on-faucet" filters but none would fit the faucet without leaking. With our very bad tasting tap water, we HAD to find an alternative. This meets our needs perfectly. Although it does take up room in the fridge, it's a necessity. I could see where it wouldn't be suitable for someone with limited fridge space but it's great for us. 2011-07-29 07:35:30
Great at home or dorm I bought one of these many years ago when I was going to college and it was great for in my dorm room. I just put it on my book shelf. I have used one ever since, but now it sits nicely in my fridge. I even dropped it once while trying to carry too much and bought the same model. That model had a small leak and the company sent me the replacement piece right away without issue. 2011-07-29 08:55:47
Money saver Great to have this product in the frig. Saves on the amounts of bottled water that is purchased in my household! 2011-07-29 08:57:40
Perfect temp for formula We used this filter when we had our third daughter. It was room temp for formula and so easy and quick to use. No heating of the formula required and the other girls used it for their drinking water also. 2011-07-29 10:10:39
Love this product We have this sitting on the top shelf in our refrigerator and love it! We have great tasting cold filtered water at our fingertips anytime we want. Stopped using the in the door water dispenser and use this only!! 2011-07-29 10:24:20
We All Have One This dispenser is fabulous and so easy to use. We love that we are not throwing away bottles but still are having great water. My daughter is in her own apt. now and has one too. Everyone I know has a Brita of one typ or another. 2011-07-29 11:09:20
Great for large sums of water This product holds a great deal more water than a standard pitcher and is easy to access when in the fridge. 2011-07-29 11:44:51
l love this product i purchased this product a while back and have been delighted with it's ease of use and great taste! 2011-07-29 12:00:33
Large capacity great for family! Keeps more water cold so there's always cold fresh water. Our children are big water drinkers so this product is a great fit for us. We even use the water for ice cubes. 2011-07-29 14:41:38
This Brita pitcher is economical for large families I have had mine since children were in grade school. This pitcher is very convenient for large families. I contribute it for keeping my family and I healthy and encouraging drinking plenty of fresh water. Kids are off to college and I still use it for drinking and recipes and filling water bottles. 2011-07-29 18:15:10
Easy to use and fill We also have a pitcher, however this one is much easier to use and fill. Can leave it in the frig to fill up cups and do not have to keep moving it to get water out of it. 2011-07-29 18:49:19
great product but difficult to open when brand new... everything is awesome...difficult to open when new, afterwards once washed it is great and easy to open. 2011-07-29 23:08:27
Big enough for everything Big enough to fill multiple bottles without have to refill container 2011-07-30 07:52:29
It is very easy to use I love this big pitcher, I fill and put in the fridge and there is always fresh cold water to drink, whether by the glass or take along bottle. 2011-07-30 16:05:13
LOVE IT!! I just bought this and its so easy and the large capacity is awesome and i dont have to take it out of the fridge every time to get water and my 5 year old can get his own water and not have to worry about spilling 2011-07-30 16:13:43
Easy to use and saves money I love this big brita dispenser! It saves a ton of money on buying all those water bottles and is good for the environment! It makes the water taste great! 2011-07-30 17:12:49
Love having a brita. I have two different Brita's. This particular one is just a little too big for my fridge. I have to keep it on the counter, and I like my water cold, so I was a little disappointed on that aspect. However, the filtering system really does make my water taste great. I drink a lot of crystal light and I do not like taking tap water to make it. Pouring the tap water through the Brita first really does enhance the flavor of the crystal light making it more enjoyable for me. If I did not have my Brita, I wouldnt drink water because I cant stand the taste of the tap. I will never go without a Brita again. 2011-07-31 08:43:29
This product is very convient Product is bery convient to have in the frige. The downside is that it was VERY hard to get apart. There was a coupon inside and took an act of congress to get apart. I tried the freezer and hot soapy water...........finally got them apart just before I was going to take it back to Costco. This would be impossible for older people or disabled. 2011-07-31 10:32:20
Convenient Love, love the ultramax because it holds so much water, which means having to refill it less often and is easy for everyone in the house to use. 2011-07-31 11:12:16
So convenient We live on the Gulf Coast and drink A LOT of water. These dispensers help us keep plenty of cool, filtered, great tasting water ready to drink. 2011-07-31 14:02:18
Fits in refrigerator perfectly This is the largest capacity that you can get with out changing your faucet. My younger children can get their own glass of water with out having to try and pour a glass from a bulky pitcher. Great for my large family. 2011-07-31 15:07:16
Great addition to our kitchen We love the ease of using our water dispenser. It fits comfortably on our counter and we use it a lot. It's easy to use and easy to refill. Also easy to change filters. Can't ask for anything more. 2011-07-31 16:13:44
Easy enough for us! We used to buy bottled water,so you can imagine going through a case a week was expensive. We keep a case in the pantry for emergencies, but the dispenser and refillable bottles help us not only save money, but also the environment! Thanks Brita! 2011-07-31 17:43:47
Great product So happy with this purchasr. We were constantly filling the pitcher but this is so convenient. 2011-07-31 21:35:44
Convenient, eco-friendly, and budget friendly I love our water dispenser. It sits by the kitchen sink, and I will use it to drink water right out of the dispenser, or fill my kettle to boil water. 2011-08-01 01:20:46
Great tap water! My family and I just love this product! We never have to buy bottled water again since we can filter our own tap water! Water always cool, clean and refreshing! 2011-08-01 09:53:28
Fabulous model, best of the pitchers. I have had several Brita pitchers, and while I love the water quality of the filter system, I have never found them easy to fit into the fridge. I did away with a refrigerator with a water dispenser, much to the dismay of kids who love the ease of a door dispenser. The Brita dispenser model has solved that problem, and I love the way it fits so snugly on a shelf in the refrigerator. I think it is the best of all Brita's designs. The only drawback is that the white reservoir is a little difficult to get out of the pitcher to clean because it has such a tight fit, but otherwise I love the model. 2011-08-01 10:00:02
love everything about the ultramax! I used to have just the basic small pitcher before i purchase the ultramax. I love it because with it being summertime, we drink more water and this holds enough to fill my familys water bottles with conintuously cold and refreshing filtered water. Its great!!! 2011-08-01 12:18:44
This product is a great size and capacity for keeping cold water handy in the fridge. Love having this larger capacity Brita filter dispenser in my refrigerator. Doesn't have to be filled as often, and it's easy-pour spout makes it really convenient to fill up a glass or a to-go bottle on the way out the door. Easy to keep up with the time to change the filter by the indicator on the top. Love having this Brita item in my home! 2011-08-01 12:39:45
EXCELLANT PRODUCT! Best tating water! Safer for the nvironment and the ease of use makes it more appealing to my family, enuring thir drinking more healthy! 2011-08-01 13:34:09
this product is great for the price! at first i was going to buy just the picther, but i saw the dispenser and thought '5 bucks for 8 more cups? what a awewsome deal!' its been great for me while im at work or college just fill it up once and it lasts me a week! 2011-08-01 13:45:04
Size is good & fits on the fridge shelf I use this filter for coffee as our water clogs up the coffee pot and eventually ruins it. 2011-08-01 14:03:23
A great counter top or Fridge shelf water dispenser! I live in Davis, CA where the tap water tastes terrible due to agricultural runoff. The ultramax cleans out the bad taste and is super easy to keep full on my counter-top so it is always ready to fill a tea kettle or glass. I filter all my water for cooking and drinking so the large capacity is very necessary. I have recommended this filter to all my friends who live in my town as well. I even bought one for my mom! 2011-08-01 15:16:57
Great Features Excellent Dispenser. Water tastes great. We now buy less bottled water 2011-08-01 19:46:14
Ease of Use I've had it 2 months and NOW never drink from the sink. It's easy to use and the water is refreshing! Better than bottled water. 2011-08-01 21:14:10
Easy to use. Fits great in my fridge! I am a die hard bottled water drinker. Its way too easy to just grab and go so, when we decided to switch to a Brita and save on our plastic consumption, I was worried that my water intake would go down. Not the case!! The dispenser is easy to set up and I find that I'm going to it just as often as a bottle of water. In fact, the new cup I bought (one with the screw lid and straw) makes it easy to still grab and go. Definitely would recommend this product. 2011-08-02 07:23:28
I love this product I bought this for work and everyone loves it. I have the small pitcher for home. 2011-08-02 08:52:48
Love the taste we go through so much water. It is great to have such a big container of filtered water fresh in the fridge! 2011-08-02 11:28:50
This is a great dispenser for the fridge. We love it. We did not drink water, except from bottles until we got this dispenser. It works great. We love to drink water now. 2011-08-02 17:20:57
Works great! It gives us great tasting water easily. I just wish it was even bigger because we fill gallon containers with water to add drink mix and this barely fills one gallon. You also have to be careful to not overfill because it will leak. But do not get me wrong, this is a great product! 2011-08-02 17:50:08
Awesome size! So convenient and easy to fill. Love not having to fill constantly and fits well in fridge. 2011-08-03 15:41:43
Very Pleased I just purchased my Brita dispenser today. I am looking forward to not having to purchase any more bottled water. Plus, it is so convenient for my kids to get their own water without help. 2011-08-03 18:42:25
Great money saver! Not only does it save the earth, but my money too! I love it! 2011-08-03 23:07:37
Love the convenience We are big water drinkers at our house and the dispenser makes it so easy for everyone to enjoy. The children are able to get their own water and it is great tasting. 2011-08-04 08:09:53
Save the environment Filter your own water and save the environment from plastic bottles. 2011-08-04 09:40:57
It's a time saver. I constantly have cold, great tasting water in my refrigerator. 2011-08-04 19:57:23
I had my first large capacity dispenser for 10 years! I just bought a newer, updated version, and I love it! It seems to hold more water and fill up faster than before. We use it for all our cooking and drinking needs. 2011-08-05 00:22:36
Great product Easy to use. Easy to fill. Fits well in fridge. Although I wish it had been made a little longer and a little shorter in height, since i have a large fridge. 2011-08-05 06:59:33
Makes life so much easier having such a large resivoir to have good water in I just love how large this is which helps me so I dont have to fill it up so much. 2011-08-05 08:25:22
Great Product I just bought one and I love it. It fits great in my frig and its easy to fill up. I would recommend this product. 2011-08-05 10:05:21
This product was a great value. This product was easy to use and provided good tasting water. I would highly recommend this product to others. 2011-08-05 10:31:40
I would have like to keep it but... My family mainly drinks water so this dispenser would have been perfect, but it leaked. I saw a puddle of water on my counter we quickly realized the seal around the spigot dispenser was not properly on. So it had to be returned back to the store. 2011-08-05 10:57:47
been with me in 3 states ive brought the filter along with me in 3 states and it still makes water taste great 2011-08-05 10:59:58
Better than the competition... I used to own a Pur filter with a similar design. The Brita seems to be a little bigger and don't even get me going on how cool the filter indicator is. Sure beats the ol sticker changing system where you could be changing a filter that is only half used. Talk about a waste of money. Also the replacement filters in most places seem to be cheaper than the Pur. 2011-08-05 13:24:46
Awesome I use mine in combination with my Keurig. I use the Brita to filter the awful water that comes out of the faucet around where I am, I not only like drinking water plain but it makes my coffee taste better, tea as well. 2011-08-05 21:34:14
Enjoy the capacity Having the large capacity prevents from wasting plastic bottles of water. 2011-08-06 15:30:15
it is OK. I got a similar one. I think it is OK to Buy. good for a family. 2011-08-06 20:44:49
This product is easy to use/and store I love this product very easy to us and fits perfect on self in refrigerator 2011-08-07 05:12:06
Product is awesome and money saver I love this water product! Its great to fill up cups or water bottles and quit using plastic bottles that pollute our environment! 2011-08-07 16:30:35
Great bang for your buck. We love this filter. It holds a lot more water than the pitcher we were using before. The only thing that we didn't like was that we couldn't get the plastic container that fits inside out to wash it thoroughly. We ended up cracking it while trying to pry it out, but it still works. 2011-08-07 16:33:34
Perfect Size Just purchased today, works great and is a perfect fit in my fridge. Much better than the previous pitcher model I had. 2011-08-07 19:08:16
Works great This dispenser works great for filtering water and I love it. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I wish it came totally apart to clean it. 2011-08-07 20:34:58
Super handy I love opening my refrigerator and getting a fresh, cold glass of water using the spigot. 2011-08-08 07:36:31
Perfect Size and Color Love the mega dispenser, fits perfectly in my fridge! 2011-08-08 08:21:41
exactly what I was looking for Perfect for our family. We fill it every 4-5 days and we love it. 2011-08-08 13:20:55
Easy to Use This ultramax dispenser fits easily into my refrigerator and is very easy to use. 2011-08-08 13:34:21
Ultramax is ultragood This product is a staple in our home. It's great to be able to fill it up once a day and have great, clean, cold water just opening the fridge. We have had this filter system for over 6 years and we recommend it to everyone. It takes up about the same amount of space that a 12 pack of soda would and is so much better for you. 2011-08-08 13:59:44
Easy to use, great tasting water This a great convenient product. I bought it for my classroom and now I can have great tasting water wihout all the plastic bottles. 2011-08-08 14:05:49
Perfect for our family. We purchased the Brita pitcher years ago and it has been worth every penny. Last week, I spotted the Ultramax - with a spigot dispenser - at our local Costco and decided it was time to upgrade. My whole family has commented on how much they love the new filter system. It's quick and easy and holds more water than the pitcher. I definitely recommend this product to any large family. 2011-08-08 14:10:37
Awesome for families I bought mine back in march and I am so glad I did! No more buying all those bottles and the tap water, after going through the filter actually tastes pretty good!! Thanks Brita team ;-) Pelky Family 2011-08-08 14:51:20
DELICIOUS! I live in Arizona and our water is terrible compared to the well water back East that I am use to. I'm so tired of buying water to drink and when I run out, I just don't drink -- which is very dangerous out here in the desert south-west. I was so excited to get this home and compare it to the tap water. I was amazed at the difference. There is no more chlorine smell or taste and no more metal after-taste. I Love-Love-Love this product. No more runs to the store for purified water for me... YAY! My kidneys THANK YOU too! 2011-08-08 19:42:20
Great replacement for party water cans For a big family or when we throw parties this is ideal for us and no hassle item 2011-08-09 09:24:41
Great Product!! This is a really good product. The taste is great and the filters are very reasonable. I live in KY and at Walmart the filters are $16 for 3. They last for two months, so that is great value. 2011-08-10 11:03:31
You won't believe the difference in your water!! We got the ultramax at work, and we could not believe the convinence and ease of use in using this container. It has a reminder at the top that we faithfully keep check on for changing the filter. (and It is sooo easy to change the filter.)And its lightweight and easy to lift to refill. It is a must have in the fridge!! We have gotten them for home (and several family members as well as myself) have Brita products that are used daily.Quality product+,reliable+affordable cost .=Fantastic!!!! 2011-08-10 11:04:38
Overall Good filter system Good for family as it has enough capacity. Easy to use so even a kid can pure water to the system. Easy dispense. Material is little okay so u feel little messy while cleaning. 2011-08-10 14:02:42
Exactly what I needed I have had a Brita pitcher for a few years now but I needed something that would hold even more water. I was sick of filling up the pitcher 2 to 3 times a day. This is great because of the large capacity and convenience. 2011-08-10 18:59:54
This product was very easy to carry I love how i don't have to have twenty bottle to carry. Where I carry this product that easy use . 2011-08-10 20:15:23
