With the Elite filter our water has NO TASTE.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We switched from the "basic" white Brita filter to the Elite filter and there is a HUGE difference in the taste of the water. I couldn't believe it could work as fast as it does and as GOOD as it does. The water where we live tastes AWFUL to me but now there is NO TASTE!! We won't be going back to our old "basic" ...

Disappointing for the price
Supposed to work for 6 months. After 2 months,the water trickles down sooo slow it takes forever to drain. I’ve tried it a few of them and it’s the same problem. They are much more expensive than the regular ones. Went back to using the original filter. Very disappointing.

We love it!
We use Brita elite filter and it last awhile. I would say it takes us anywhere between 4-5 months to change the filter. Longer than the regular filter but not as described. We still love it though! Very
economical and saves us more money than buying water at the grocery.

Don’t buy this product
Does not remove calcium and other tps and therefore our tea or coffee had scum on top and sides of cups. Changed to water drop which does the job right.

Blue Elite filter disappointing
Changed from the older model Brita filters to the Elite model and have been disappointed. It filters fine, but the filter itself comes detached from the slot it is supposed to slide into. I never had this problem with the older white filters. The blue Elite filter seems not to stay in the slot tightly and floats loose, especially when I'm pouring water from the pitcher....

Get you some.
What can I say, I love my Brita. These filters are great and easy to use. Can always get them single package or in bulk which I prefer to have the, in bulk to always have on hand and never run out. Love being able to filter my water l I feel better that this product helps filter my water to drink more.

Doesn't stay dow
Doesn't stay in place, old filter never had a problem. These "elite filters" cant possibly be any better considering they let unfilter water go through. Package doesn't say it won't work in our pitcher.

Disappointing
I don’t know what happens but after a month or less, this thing just drips so slow it won’t even go through the filter. It takes hours, and I’ve replaced it at least three times.

Excellent Product
I've been using Brita water filters for more than 10 years. I've used the longlast Brita filters for the last 3 years and I really like them. I will continue to purchase them.

Last less than the information provided
The Elite filter stated that it would work fine for 6 months. I bought the first one after using the standard filter for years. The water tastes bad and it seems unfiltered from th second month. I am very disappointed with the quality and time performance of the filter.

Love This- The BEST!
I just bought the Brita elite water filter system and it's so much better than the regular Brita. The water absolutely has no taste with odor. Plus the filters last 6 months. So I'm very happy with it thank you
