I bought this in March-April of this year while I was in Los Angeles to save me from lugging water bottles upstairs and back down to take them to the recycling center. When I got back on the road, it was easy to use in motel rooms. I used it to fill my water bottle to drink from during the day while it was packed back into its box in the trunk of my car. Over time, I learned that it leaks when I pour ONLY because I filled it past the stated 48 oz. capacity. Many of the other complaints I've read about here, from charcoal residue to use of hot water, would have been resolved, IMO, if they had only read and followed the instructions in the User's Guide that also contains a Performance Data Sheet specifying the contaminents, reduction percentages, and other info. I have a Pur faucet filter for my kitchen sink with the 3-stage filter that adds minerals back for better taste, but this Brita pitcher produces much better tasting water and fits neatly on my refrigerator door shelf now that I'm back home. I'm greatly satisfied with this pitcher and recommend it highly both for home use and for road trips.
 Space Space, Save Money w/ the SpaceSaver November 5, 2007

The Brita SpaceSaver did exactly what I wanted and expected it to do. Provided me with crystal clear and great tasting water but also saving space in my fridge. I will personally vouch that the taste is great.
One minor setback of this pitcher is the lid did not fit snug/flush to the pitcher itself. I haven't noticed any leaking/spills from it, and had already knew about the small imperfection. I didn't want to go through the hastle of getting a replacement top because it's not a problem at all. Note to new Brita users: Do not pour water when water is remained unfiltered in the above resorvoir or YOU WILL SPILL EVERYWHERE!
I rated the product overall a 4/5 because it was cost efficient, saved space in my small apartment fridge, and only had the lid setback. I have referred this exact pitcher to all of my friends in the same living situation as me, and those that are just trying to save a dime.
SAVE MONEY?
Cost of Brita SpaceSaver w/ 3 Filters = $48
Should last a total of 8 months (comes w/ one filter) 1 filter - 2 months
Cost of delivered bottled water = $30 per month (2x 5gallon, 1x case of water bottles) TOTAL: $240 for 8 months.
Brita - Bottled Water = Saved: $192!!!

This pitcher is well-designed, and tucks into the fridge nicely. The water taste is somewhat improved. I find the top is too easily dislodged, but this is a minor annoyance.
The worst feature of this product is that the specifications for what impurities, exactly, the filter removes, seem to be unavailable. Vague promises in the accompanying product literature casually group various contaminants together with the promise that the filter removes ninety-something per cent of these. It seems unlikely to me that it does equally well for all the contaminants listed; in my opinion, this type of average statistic is largely useless. I'd like to know, for example, what percentage of chlorine should be removed. My filter does not seem to remove chlorine particularly well.
One might think that this type of information would be available on the manufacturer's web page. I tried to find specs there. There are pages and pages of graphics-rich irrelevant material that one must wade through. Then, finally, when one gets to the description of the product, there are no specifications on that page, and no link to a specs page.
Eventually, almost by accident, I discovered the FAQs page, hidden behind the customer support page. As best I could determine, it offered only the same vague promises listed above.
 Hate the spout! November 27, 2006

This Brita pitcher leaves much to be desired. I never write these reviews, but just had to for this one. Yes, the filtration system leaves the water tasting great, BUT....
1.It leaks a little.
2.There is often a little bit of charcoal residue in the bottom of the pitcher AFTER soaking for 15 minutes and rinsing any visible residue off and fitting into the space very securely.
3. I hate the spout.!!! About a quarter of the time I go to pour myself a glass of water, the spout stays shut and water goes all over the counter or floor in front of the fridge, or wherever I am pouring water into something.
I wont' be buying this brand again.
 Great filtering- TERRIBLE pitcher September 13, 2006

Well, the water's terrific -- but no matter how many times we try to asemble, reassemble and figure out the architecture of the pitcher, the thing leaks when you pour -- and leaks a lot. So it's essentially useless. I wonder what rocket scientist designed such a device. Maybe they can get a job at NASA.
