Review on Brita Space Saver Pitcher Filter by Melissa Mack

I've owned Pur for a long time and I'm happy to keep buying it. But their new 6-7 cup pitchers suck. Very thin plastic, weak grips, heavy plate. I decided to risk this Brita and so far I'm happy with it. IMPORTANT: The bottom of the filter has a cross pattern, basically 4 squares on a round tube. But they are not the same. You must rotate the filter properly so that it fits fully into the plastic frame. The bottom of the filter should protrude through the plastic frame. Otherwise the lid will not be tight and will fall off when you pour water. I'm willing to bet that most of the complaints about this pitcher stem from people not installing the filter properly.
