LifeStraw Home Glass Water Filter Pitcher, 7-Cup, Pink Bubble

I’m so pleased with this! I’d used a Brita filter for, well, forever, and I honestly was just really ignorant about different types of filters and what they even do. I moved up to New England a few years ago and the rental I’m in is in a very old building that absolutely hasn’t been updated in most ways. I started looking into things like old plumbing in structures like this and boy, what a rabbit hole that was. I decided it would be best to upgrade my water filter so it would help eliminate the oh-so-many things in these very old pipes, and decided on this one because it was within my budget and seemed very effective. I love that it’s a glass container instead of plastic. It’s a little smaller than my old one, but that’s no big deal. I’ve gotten in the habit of filling it up a little at a time while doing other things in the kitchen. Is it slower than my Brita? Yep. I’ve seen other reviews complaining about it. But I don’t mind at all. It’s a dual filtration system and that means yes, it takes a little longer. If anything, that just makes me feel even better about its efficacy. I’m someone who sips on ice water all day and my kitties have a large fountain that I fill using this as well, so it’s put to great use! And I know it likely sounds crazy, but the water tastes better. I’m sure some of it is psychological, which hey, fine lol. But it just tastes cleaner, crisp, and more like absolutely nothing. It’s wonderful. Highly recommend! Edit to add: The bigger filter is an absolute PAIN to remove when cleaning/maintaining the pitcher regularly (and replacing the filter itself once a year or so). This part specifically would definitely benefit from a redesign. But still, overall, I’m keeping my rating the same. Hope they reevaluate this one thing in future models.

Once you get the filters hydrated, it does a nice job filtering the water. It's not fast, but not slow either. I just keep filling it and pouring the filtered water into a jug. The taste is very good. Happy with my selection.

This water filter is fantastic! The water tastes so good (which is a big plus), and I’m no longer concerned about microplastics or chemicals. Plus, it’s easy to clean and use. However, I noticed it doesn’t hold a huge amount of water—you can’t fill it all the way to the top, at best halfway. So, you’ll need to refill it often or get the larger countertop version. It takes about 3-4 minutes for the entire water to filter into the pitcher. Also, if you buy the plastic pitcher, it tends to crack, so I highly recommend using the glass pitcher to avoid that. The plastic lid on top seems to be prone to cracking as well but only visible if pushed down, otherwise it’s not noticeable. But overall, the water quality is much better than many other brands I’ve tried so gave it a 4 star for the water quality.

I bought this LifeStraw Home water filter pitcher for my apartment during grad school since the water quality in my area isn’t the best, and I’ve been really happy with it overall. One of the main reasons I chose this was the glass pitcher. I like that it reduces the amount of plastic in contact with my water, and it just feels cleaner and more premium compared to typical plastic pitchers. The silicone base is also a nice touch since it helps prevent slipping and protects surfaces. The water tastes really good, noticeably cleaner and fresher compared to straight tap water. It’s reassuring knowing that it’s designed to filter out a wide range of contaminants, which was a big priority for me. One thing to keep in mind is that the filtering process is a bit slow at first. The first few uses take longer to fill up, just like the instructions mention, but it does get better over time. It’s not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of if you’re expecting instant results. It’s also easy to use day-to-day, and the size is perfect for keeping in the fridge without taking up too much space. Overall, I think it’s a great upgrade from more common and popular water filter pitchers. It looks better, feels higher quality, and does a great job improving water taste and quality.

I absolutely love this pitcher. Yes, I know that it filters slowly. I figure if the water ran right through it, it wouldn't be doing much filtering. And for this product, the water runs through two filters. I've home-tested it after filtering, and it certainly cleans up my well water. We spent years drinking bottled water, and now, we don't need to buy that anymore. And since I ;purchased the glass version, I feel very good about limiting our exposure to plastics. I just filter my water and pour it into a glass decanter and a couple of quart mason jars. I guess the best thing I can say about it is, since we have health conditions that require we use a lot of water (I use it for cooking, too), I'm anxiously waiting for a sale so I can buy a second one.

good quality, works great! My city had a water issue, used a different brand of filter pitcher but water was still bad & pets would not touch it.Got this pitcher, used it & the water was drinkable again, tasted fine, even my pets would drink it! Be aware, since it is glass it is heavy, but healthier than plastic.

I bought this pitcher in an effort to reduce the amount plastic in my kitchen. Its a beautiful pitcher but its awkward to handle thus I still use my Brita (with the newer filters that block microplastics). Pros: -its beautiful -its glass -the silicon base is nice and prevents sliding and slamming the glass on the counter or table -its LifeStraw, so filtering out a LOT of bad stuff Cons: -its very heavy bc of the glass -its ergonomically difficult to use: because of the shape, its bottom heavy when its empty and then with more water distributed to the bottom, heavier still. I don't think anyone who knows ergonomics consulted on the design: the handle is at the top but given the bottom-heavy nature of the pitcher makes it nearly impossible to pour unless its pretty full and you can tip it or you are using two hands and supporting the bottom with one of them - the handle should be lower so its easier to get leverage and pour, and the pour spout is also too small. -the spot where you add water is also awkward - it pivots from the water pressure, but if you don't align the water coming in properly, will splash. -its slow to fill -its VERY hard to pull out the filter section to clean the pitcher (its very tight and has a suction like seal) Bottom line, if you want a beautiful glass pitcher that filters out a lot of bad stuff and are happy to ignore the ergonomic issues, then I would recommend it. I would not recommend this pitcher for someone who is elderly or for children - I guarantee there will be lots of messes. I have a hard time and I'm a fit Gen-Xer. I don't think I'll use it as often as I'd originally planned - it certainly won't replace my Brita, which was the point of the purchase.

We switched from an older Zero Pitcher. This pitcher is pretty heavy and has a rubber bottom. The water tastes good and the two types of filter do a good job. The two things that I dont really like are the 1. Water needs to go in the lid that has a little flap that opens when you pour water in. It can spill off the side 2. The filter portion isn't very big so it takes multiple fills to get it 3/4 full

Super happy with this water filter jug, it is a bit slow to filter but would rather that to have better quality water. Beautiful taste, soft and clean, zero normal tap water taste. Glass is the only way to go, only wish the filters weren't so expensive but again the water quality is top notch -I will REALLY know this after getting the water analyzed in a week time but am very happy so far). If it does actually remove micro plastics will be the big one for me (as it claims).

I love this. So much nicer drinking water when I know the bad stuff has been taken out, micro plastics particularly.

Very pleased with this double filter system that removes microplastics in addition to harmful chemicals and microbes. Nice tasting water too! A good option for those who don’t want or don’t have space for an under sink RO filter system.

It’s a great water filter pitcher. I can’t verify the claims it makes about what it removes but I trust what they say. The water tastes great! As people said, it is initially slow to filter but increases speed as time passes. Ultimately it is just as fast (or slow) as a Brita, but with better filtration. Just top it up every time you pass! Love that it’s glass although that makes it heavier to lift.

Pitcher with filter is very good. It doesn't take that long to filter the water like the other reviews say. I would estimate it filters all the water you add within 5 minutes for sure but I haven't timed it. Maybe the pre-filter reservoir is on the small side so you do have to add water a number of times before the pitcher is actually full. Its perfectly fine for a couple of people. Maybe a different story if you are using this one pitcher for an entire family. Also huge plus is that it is the only glass filter I could find that actually filters PFAs and PFOAs which are major contaminants in almost every single water system in the world. Edit: I have timed the fill rate of the pitcher. It takes approximately 37 minutes to fill from empty to full, if you fill as soon as the filter resivoir is able to take more water. It filters 77ml per minute on average and the first 500ml you add is filtered in 4 minutes and 54 seconds. I had to add water to the resivoir 11 times to get it to fill to the top. The filter water resevoir holds a maximum of 500ml of water and the pitcher will hold 1880ml of water (after the filter) in total. I fill it up while I am cooking dinner or cleaning the kitchen since I am already near it.
