Love the No Taste, November 16, 2009

I replaced my brita pitcher with this PUR pitcher with the stage 2 filter. The Pur 2 stage filter makes perfect clean, great tasting water. The filter seems to last a long time since I can't remember when I purchased it but I know it has been over 2 months and I fill the pitcher at least 3 times a day and usually more. My coffee taste great with PUR clean water and the pets get filtered water too. Make sure your refrigerator has a filter if you use an ice-maker. Unfiltered ice-cubes can ruin the taste and some could be blaming the Pur when it's actually the ice cubes ruining the taste. Overall I love the Pur and am saving a bundle over bottled water and all those bottle deposits and don't have bags of empty bottles waiting to be recycled. Plus I don't have to carry in those heavy cases of water. Now I just use the Brita for an extra pitcher in the frig and fill it with water from my PUR .

WOW! I just love this pitcher!, October 29, 2009

For years, I've been lugging bottles of water (mostly distilled) so that I can avoid weird water tastes, cloudy water and mystery pollution floating in it. Well, I guess I'm about to miss out on all those great work-outs I've been doing. There'll be no more heavy lifting for me or squandering tons of money (it really adds up!) on bottled water. I can also congratulate myself on sparing the environment all those plastic jugs in the trash. PUR CR-600 2 Stage Oval Water Pitcher is excellent, efficient and cost-effective. The pitcher, itself, is quite sturdy. I've been using this pitcher for weeks now, and I'm certain that it will last a good long time. I highly recommend it and only wish I had purchased one years ago!

Pur Water Filter, October 20, 2009
Decent filter, inexpensive. Water in San Diego has lots of "interesting" flavors and the filter gets rid of most of them.
PUR Water Pitcher, October 12, 2009

I bought this to use at my desk at work. I fill up the top with crushed ice and then add about 16 ounces of water and let it melt and filter through to make somewhat cool water. But the water seems to filter through this too quickly and I usually have to pour the filtered water into a glass and then pour it back into the top to be filtered again before it tastes good. I also have the larger size that sits in the fridge and I think it does a better job of filtering even though it uses the same filters as this pitcher.

It arrived cracked and so it leaked water, October 5, 2009
I'd of sent it back but it was easier to simply replace it at Wall-Mart

Our Sources

1. ConsumerReports.org

Consumer Reports tests an earlier version of the PUR CR-6000 pitcher, comparing it with two other pitcher water filters and 26 other water filters in all. The tests are objective, but surprisingly, editors seem to weigh flow rate and filter economy more than filtering effectiveness.

Review: Water Filters, Editors of Consumer Reports, May 2007

2. Good Housekeeping

Based on tests for 13 contaminants (11 more than Consumer Reports tests), this review recommends PUR water filters as best because they not only produce water that tastes good, but also filter out more contaminants than competing brands.

3. The Shopping Bags

Lab tests done for this review find all four of the water filters adequate for removing metals and even some coliform bacteria, so informal taste tests become the deciding factor. The PUR pitcher filter (and faucet-mounted model) receives the most votes for the best tasting water.

Review: Water Purifiers, Kristina Matisic and Anna Wallner, Nov. 2007

4. The Green Guide

The PUR CR6000 pitcher water filter is named a "best value" in the comparison chart in this buyer's guide -- based primarily on the NSF database of contaminants the two-stage filter removes.

5. ConsumerGuide.com

This review covers a similar PUR pitcher water filter, rating it a "Best Buy" with quite a bit of praise for specific design features -- including a snug lid and the ability to store the pitcher in a refrigerator door.

Review: Expert Review PUR 9-Cup Pitcher, Editors of ConsumerGuide.com, Nov. 2008

6. TheKitchn.com

Taste comparisons rank a PUR pitcher filter higher than both a Brita pitcher and New York City tap water. The review notes that the PUR Flavor Options pitcher produces good tasting water without the flavor packet, noting that the flavor packets contain preservatives and sucralose.

Review: PUR Water Filter, Sara Kate, Aug. 2007

7. Amazon.com

About two dozen owners review this PUR pitcher filter here, giving it very mixed ratings that range from one to five stars on a five-star scale. Some owners are very satisfied, but others voice complaints about durability, filter clogs and various design flaws; for example, the lid doesn't completely cover the pitcher and the LED filter indicator seems to be based only on how many times you tilt the pitcher.
