Does the job but misleading and expensive
Like many Brita products, this jug carries the digital countdown timer which tells you when you "need" a new Maxtra cartridge. This is very misleading for 2 reasons:

1. It assumes you run way through the jug several times a day (which I don't - I only fill it every other day).
2. It implies that Maxtra cartridges cease to function after 4 weeks of regular use (they don't - I've checked the water quality using a conductivity probe at work - they're good for a fair bit longer than that!).

The above two problems can mean you'd spend a fortune on the Maxtra cartridges, which don't come cheap, but if you ignore the timer and change the cartridge when the water starts to taste unfiltered, it's fine.

The jug itself is well-made, stylish and fits into the door of the fridge, so you can have filtered, cold water ready-to-go all of the time. Aside from the timer and the expensive cartridges, I can't really fault this other than to say that it's very, very expensive for what it is.

Very nice filter system. Looks the part too.
I wanted a water filter for my posh coffee machine. I live in a hard water area and was fed up with descaling the beast, so opted for a Britas unit.

I was originally going to get one of the XL units, but I am glad I didn't. With this unit I can fill it and have filtered water in under a minute. If I had a larger unit, I would only end up leaving half the water in the jug. As the coffee machine prefers freshly drawn water this would just be a waste. I guess if you had a huge family then the XL would be better. But I was more than satisfied with this.

This unit should fit in most fridges too.
