Improved design, with one flaw
We've used Brita filters for over 20 years, and as others have noted the older versions tended to gather algal discolouration around the base. The filter replacement reminder also tended to fail after a year or so. This new design doesn't. It definitely makes a difference to both the quality of tea and coffee, and the amount of scale buildup in the kettle. It's easier to fill without mess, too. One problem we do have is wrangling the inner plastic section out when the jug needs cleaning. Today, the inner section got jammed at an angle, and actually cracked as we tried to manoeuvre it out. It's less than two years old, so I hope the one we ordered today will be a little less fiddly!
Crystal clear
We live in a hard water area where our kettle constantly needed descaling and our mugs would stain quickly. Since using this Brita jug, the kettle is not scaling up like it did and our mugs are not staining. Not to mention the simple difference in the look and taste of a glass of water from the filter Vs direct from the tap- the filtered water is clearer and tastes better. The modern jug design looks great too, showing off the crystal clear water. The fill flap is simple to use, with any spills or splashes from the tap directly running into the jug rather than sitting on the lid (when flap is open) and it fills relatively quickly. The jug also fits into our fridge door which will be nice for summer use (standard single door fridge).
Enormous improvement!
I've been using Brita filter jugs for some 30 years and their main problem has been leakage at the bottom, as the bottom was a separate piece of plastic glued on - and after a couple of years, they would start leaking in that joint. However, this is a much, much better design, with the bottom and the sides seem to be made in a mold as one single piece. I also like the new meter, with a green light flicking on when one is pouring, which eventually turns yellow and eventually red. However, at that point I don't change the cartridge, but simply reset the button, as I've found that the filters work perfectly well until the second time the meter turns red.
Bad design change
Our old jug needed replacing, so we got this. My main complaint is in the lid's newly designed rubber flap that you lift to fill with water (our older, larger hub had a plastic flap). Because of the material it captures and clings to water, and limescale and mildew build up around this flap a few days after thoroughly cleaning it, which is so unsanitary.
i love it
This is my fourth jug , slimmer my previous ones , smart looking with that feature of the flickering green light ( that turns amber and red later on ( i was not even aware when i ordered ) beautiful i love it
Improved but doesn\x27t accept old Maxtra filters
The jug is an improvement on previous style but older Maxtra filters don't fit this one, and this is a completely unnecessary restriction - it's caused by 2 small ridges added to the jug that fit into newer cartridges only.
