Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was between this and the Pur 18 cup dispenser. I've used a Brita pitcher for 10 years and been happy with it. Couldn't find any conclusive reviews saying why one pitcher’s better than the other. Since I had a year's supply of Brita filters already, I went with the Brita. This one leaked out of the box! Also, spout on the Brita is raised off the bottom! You can't get all the water out, even if you tilt it! Now I can see how some people have found algae in the bottoms of their Brita’s. So, I returned it and got the Pur. After using both, I can say the build quality on the PUR is superior! More thoughtful and sturdy. PUR is much easier to clean inside, unlike the sharp corners inside the Brita. HUGE PUR PLUS, the pour spout puts out twice as much water as Brita! Pouring with the Brita spout was painfully slow! After using the PUR, my wife and I both love the PUR! Happily left behind our year’s supply of Brita filters (lost money!) for the better, PUR!
