Its slim, lightweight design is a bonus for those of us who travel light and don't want a pitcher which takes up a lot of space. It filters out copper, cadmium, chlorine and mercury.

It's small, efficient and it does its job properly. You can't really ask anything else of a product in this category. It's made of smooth, clear, durable plastic and will last a very long time. The only drawback is its size; if you need a large filter pitcher, this may not be the size you're looking for.

This model is meant for one person or a small family on the go. If you are looking for a filter for permanent use in your home then you might want to invest in something larger, like Brita Aqualux pitcher. This model simply does not have the filtration capacity to last very long in that role. The filter itself is housed in the top of the unit and can be easily replaced.

Packs of Brita pitcher replacement filters are widely available from local retailers. The life of the filter is related to how tainted the water is that the pitcher is used to filter.
