Does anyone have a Brita?

I'm going to be running errands soon and was thinking of picking up a Brita water filter/pitcher. I'm sick of buying jugs of water or bottled water. I like bottled water for when people come over but I hate having the bottles around the house.  Just wondering if anyone has one and likes it..TIA!

    I had a brita water jug for the longest time. The replacement filters are somewhat expensive & I think my "timer" went out on mine. You have to reset it each time you use a new filter & I would look & it's still stuck on "new". They have the ones for your faucets too.

    I have one and LOVE it!  We have had it for about 7 years now.  If you have a membership to Costco....I know they sell the filters there...so that helps with the cost.

    We've had one for a long time & love it. The filters are expensive, but they're cheaper than bottled water & better for the environment. Also, we buy our filters in bulk at Costco, which is usually cheaper & they have coupons every couple of months.

    This.  I think all of the membership warehouses sell the filters in bulk!

    I have one and love it! My dad got it for me when I was in college because I hated the water in the college and felt better drinking it if it was filtered. I drink water like its my job. It really does help the water! Go for it!

    I've used one since I was in college and they are great.  For a short time I tried the faucet version, but it reduced the water flow too much for washing dishes.

    I have one and I'm very happy with it! the water tastes great, the filters last for a long time and are pretty inexpensive. No more plastic water bottles here.

    VeI've had one for about eight years. We love it. I just buy replacement filters at Target. They aren't too pricey.

    I have a Pur filter instead, but I have had forever. My mom got me hooked 15 years ago and I have had one ever since.

    I have had a Brita for about 5 yrs now. The filters are not that expensive 6-7$ a peice and they last you 3 months. you will definately save money instead of the bottled/jug water

    We have one- I'd love to get one for my faucet but first I need a new faucet.  For now though the brita pitcher works well.
