Review on ๐ŸŒฟ Gravitea Water Filter by Adagio Teas: An Optimal Choice for Superior Filtering by Joy Owens

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor design, difficult to clean and use

I wanted to like it. Adagio is a great tea company and I enjoyed trying it. Unfortunately, it didn't fit me at any height.* The lid was difficult to put on, it rotates heavily. The lid often fell off when I tried to pour water, unless I really took the time to carefully align it and make sure it clicked all the way around, which was tricky. Perhaps you should just leave the lid open when filling, but the tall, skinny jug wouldn't fit in my small sink if I hadn't removed the lid first. . It's not an airtight seal that keeps the water fresh in the fridge, it's just a lightweight lid. Even with the lid closed, I find mosquitoes in the filter when I use it on the terrace on a summer day. Terrible!* This is the size of a regular pitcher, but half of it is a filtration system. So you only get some water at the bottom, which drains off quickly. And it's only for one person, don't even think about using it for a family. Look at the picture, what you see under the white ball shows how much water you're getting and notice that it tapers down so it looks bigger in the photo than it is in real life.* It's very difficult To clean, you will need a small toothbrush to get into the grooves of the filter area. It's not a quick process. If you have water at the top, it will flow down the spout, leaving you with unfiltered water. I have no idea why they made this possible, they could have just let it pour out of the ground. Also, a small amount of water tends to collect on both sides of the filter without being able to drain properly; it has to be shaped like a cone for the water to flow by gravity.* The handle is awkward to hold, the spout is wide, and the filter in the center gives an odd balance when pouring. Difficult to avoid spills. I think it filters the water if you are patient and use it very carefully. However, I did not choose to replace the filter after it expired and would not use it again if you gave it to me for free.

Pros
  • Dishwasher safe
Cons
  • Not fashionable
