Summary: Better Tasting Water
Comment: We had to replace our previous water filter when the cat knocked it down onto the ground. We drink a lot of water, and the Brita Ultramax Dispenser works for our family because we do not have to fill it constantly. It makes the coffee and tea that we drink taste better, also. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to drink more water (and don't we all) but cannot stand the taste or the smell of the water that comes straight out of the tap. This takes care of the taste and the smell.

Customer Rating:
Summary: More handy than you might think
Comment: I bought this with the intention of getting me to drink more water instead of soft drinks, etc, and it's been very good for that--it's now just as easy for me to pour a mug of chilled water right from the refrigerator (I often then add some sugar-free flavored powder like peach tea, etc) as it is to drink canned sodas, without having to pay for and then lug those cans home from the supermarket. And this is way cheaper than paying a lot extra for a refrigerator with a chilled-water dispenser on the door.
But it also comes in handy as a drink dispenser on the picnic table in the back yard; I've also used it for boxed wine for a cookout and once for a covered punchbowl at a casual backyard party. It's large enough for this kind of use and I like having multi-purpose things instead of storing a lot of stuff I rarely use.
Yeah, it also works as a water filter :-) though I'm just taking that on faith as the Northern California water seems fine to me both before and after Brita filtering. But I like to play it safe...
To the other reviewers who mention mold, all I can say is that I don't think the mold is coming from the water dispenser...I suggest putting an open box of baking soda in the back of the fridge.
It does take a lot of space in the refrigerator, so you have to plan for it: the upper shelf is better because you don't have to stoop over to pour from it and there's usually enough space on top of it to store square stuff like tofu boxes and sliced cheese.
I've run it through the dishwasher plenty of times; this works for me since I never use the heat-dry function, which might warp the plastic; I use cool dry overnight for all my dishes.
There's definitely something to the suggestion from another reviewer to always keep the filter wet (i.e. keep the tank filled instead of half-full); If the filter dries out it takes twice as long to fill the tank and may not work as well.
I buy my filters in 3-packs from Amazon at a discount which I combine with other orders to avoid shipping costs, so the maintenance cost is pretty minimal.
Overall it's been a good product for me; I drink much less bad stuff, particularly in the summer. I'll give the fifth star when Brita figures out how to make the spout easier to remove for cleaning.
