Product Description
Slim design / Fits into your refrigerator door / Reduces chlorine taste / Includes pitcher and one filter
Amazon.com Review
For crisp, clean drinking water in small family or single-person households, Brita offers their Slim Pitcher with Filter. The filter reduces impurities and harmful substances from tap water and holds approximately 40 liquid ounces. The slim pitcher fits neatly into many refrigerator doors, enabling users to maximize shelf space. Certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International, Brita water filters contain a mesh screen to catch sediment and particles as tap water flows through into the pitcher's basin. Brita pitchers employ an ion exchange resin with activated carbon granules to draw mercury, zinc, copper and cadmium from tap water, trapping these harmful elements inside the filter. Brita filters eradicate up to 98 percent of the lead found in tap water while significantly reducing other impurities and dangerous bacteria including cryptosporidium, giardia, and benzene. Additionally, the odor and flavor of chlorine are removed from drinking water. Brita filters should be replaced every 40 gallons or after two months of use. Replacement filters can be purchased separately. Wash the Slim Pitcher by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Brita offers a limited 90-day warranty on pitchers in the event of manufacturer defects. The pitcher weighs two pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

 Clean, crisp taste July 26, 2008
This Brita pitcher is the perfect fit in my hydrated life. Once I bought this pitcher, I drink at least 3 glasses at night, when before I would drink a water bottle nightly, therefore not acting 'green'. The size of the pitcher is perfect for my overstuffed refrigerator and I'm hoping it'll fit in my college dorm fridge. I'd highly recommend it, if not this particular size, then the brand itself.
 Any slimmer and it wouldn't hold water July 26, 2008
I like Brita. I own a full-size pitcher, which I use daily at home.
I bought the Brita Slim Pitcher for my office to use in a Sanyo SR-3770S Counter-High Refrigerator (great product, see my review). The pitcher fits tightly in the door, but there's so little usable space that I'm refilling the pitcher no less than 2-3 times per day.
Looking back, I should've bought another full-size Brita pitcher and filled the ice cube trays with filtered water.
The pitcher is top-heavy. When full, this isn't a problem. When you're trying to pour your second glass of water (and that's about all this pitcher can carry), the top tends to come off, so you'll have to hold it with one hand to prevent it from detaching and falling out.
If space is a problem, consider buying reusable water bottles. You can store them in a compact refrigerator and refill them using a full-size Brita pitcher.
Easy to store July 12, 2008
I like that this Brita pitcher is easy to store in the refrigerator. The water tastes great, and it holds enough for me to make a pot of coffee in the morning.
Good for 1-2 people July 11, 2008
I'm a college student, and the fridge can only hold so many things. My roommate and I have one of these each and live in a 4-person suite with 2 others. The pitcher fits in the fridge nicely, it's very slim; don't be fooled by the pics.
One thing, though, it does not hold a whole lot, it probably is enough for 1-2 people.
 This product is garbage July 6, 2008
I bought this pitcher to replace a PUR one that I had trouble finding replacement filters for--it seems that P&G decided to change its filter designs without pausing to see if it would fit older models.
Now onto Brita. As others have said, the top will come out when pouring at extreme angles because it doesn't hook into the base of the unit, making the product cumbersome to use. For that and the reasons concerning limited capacity, you should look elsewhere.
