Experts say the Pur CR-6000 2 Stage Water Pitcher is effective at removing lead and organic matter, and blind taste tests give Pur pitchers top marks for the best tasting water. Although the filter isn't designed to treat water for any kind of bacteria, tests show that it does remove some coliform bacteria as well as common pharmaceuticals. The main drawback is that filters can clog quickly and even under optimal conditions, need to be replaced often -- about every 40 gallons. For more filtered water capacity, reviews recommend the 9-cup Clear2O Water Filtration Pitcher (*Est. $25), which features a filter-change indicator light.
ConsumerReports.org includes the Pur CR-6000 2 Stage Water Pitcher in side-by-side comparisons of seven water filter pitchers. TheGreenGuide.com relies heavily on certification data from the NSF, an independent consumer products testing organization. A review at TheKitchn.com includes no lab data, instead emphasizing features, convenience and taste. Naturally, the owner-written reviews at Amazon.com also focus on these factors.

Taste comparisons rank a Pur Flavor Option Water Pitcher, which is essentially the same as the CR-6000, higher than both a Brita pitcher and New York City tap water. Testers don't add the flavoring in the blind taste test, noting that the flavor packets contain preservatives and sucralose. In both rounds of testing, the Pur's "sharper, cleaner taste" was preferred.
