LeDoux Waters 10 Cup Water Pitcher Filters with 1 Filter, BPA Free, Ionizer, Pourer, Jug, Filter System (Blue)

I've lived most of my life drinking tap water. I've always lived in small towns, and love the taste of the water. When I visit family in the city, I can't stand their tap water - it always tastes like chlorine.In our previous house, we had mountain water from a well. We also had a whole-house water filter, and it was always great. Then we moved to another mountain town with city water. It wasn't quite as good. But what made us buy a filter was when the city worked on the water pipes in the area (due to expansion) and we ended up with dirty water. They said it was potable and would only look dirty for a few days. A few weeks of dirty water later, we started shopping around. By the time we found this and had it delivered, the water was clean-looking again, but we had made up our minds to switch to filtered.If you aren't used to filtered water, it does have a metallic taste to it. After a few days, we got used to it. After a few weeks, I accidentally got a drink of some tap water, and spit it right out. It tasted and smelled nasty. I'll never go back to tap water again!We bought this particular unit because I wanted a pitcher type. Everyone I know that has one with the spout at the bottom complains of how messy they are - they leak all over the fridge. But as it turns out, this is messy, too. To fill it, you have to hold down the spring-loaded "trap door" at the top, because the spring is too strong to allow a slow water flow into it. Yet it's too weak to keep water in the top (the "pre-filtered reservoir") from flowing out when you tip it to fill a cup. If you aren't careful while filling it, you'll end up with a big mess.You also have to wait until the water drains/filters down to the bottom reservoir, which can take several minutes - so plan your water drinking accordingly. Fill this up 10 minutes or so before a meal. And the bottom of the filter needs to be wet all the time, so we're filling this thing up many times a day. Luckily, our kitchen sink's nozzle is detachable, so it makes filling it much easier.It hasn't spent any time in the fridge due to the constant need to fill it. But that's not a big deal. The design and handle make it easy for even our young children to pour their water, so that's a huge plus. It also has (had) a nice rubber ring around the bottom to keep it from sliding around the counter, but that came off already (after 3 weeks of use). Now it's super slippery, and we'll look to glue the ring back on. Not a big deal, either.The filter is supposed to last 60 days, but after 3 weeks it's starting to get the tap water smell to it, so the filter needs replaced already. But we are a family of 6 and we drink lots of water.I keep waiting for the lid to fall off, because when snapped on it doesn't give you that satisfying "click," but so far it hasn't budged. All things considered, once we got used to the little quirks, we are really liking it. This review may sound mostly negative, but i just want to let people know of the little issues. We are glad we bought it and hope to have it for several years!

This is really delicious water when I drink it from this pitcher. My bf has the brita pitcher but i'm not sure how old it is and when was the last time he changed out the filter but he does drink from that one. I thought I would give this one a try and I really do love the way the water tastes. It's refreshing and I just know the taste is like fresh clean water. I'll be buy a filter after the one in my pitcher times out :)

This water filter pitcher works well, the only problem I have with it is that there is a pour through hole on top that is supposed to open automatically as water flows through it and then closes automatically when the water stops, sounds good in theory, but mine does not work, the water flow will not open it, and it does not snap back in place when there is no water striking it.

The top lid broke within 1 week of owning it and the bottom rubber seal came off shortly after that. I would not purchase another on the LeDoux products. I emailed their customer service, they responded asking for pictures. I sent in pictures and have not heard back.

Really enjoying using this pitcher. It has an easy fill port and water has good flavor. Different, at first, but I think our of pitcher just wasn't doing the job it needed to do. The filters are easy to order and so far have arrived very timely. Our children and grandchildren like it. Our daughters asked where I purchased it.

I had high hopes for this pitcher. First, the date function does not work. I even went to youtube to insure that I was not doing anything wrong. Second, the oval plastic disk just flops. If I had not already gotten rid of the box, my error, I would send it straight back.

In the end, this thing was terrible, Filters wouldn't flow after a couple of weeks, waste of money.

I had an error with the first one and called LeDoux and they responded immediately shipping me a new one which works fabulously. My family and I love it and would buy it again!
