Excactly what we needed
on October 6, 2022
Posted by: Caroline R.
Our tap water tastes like mold and I had originally bought a Lifestraw home for my mother in law as I knew their brita didn’t cut it. After receiving and using the LifeStraw Home 10-cup our water has substantially subsided in its mold taste and I feel a lot safer with the quality of filtered water I now get to drink. Thank you LifeStraw for all that you do!

Beautiful design, which most pitchers are not and so far easy to use.

It’s very slow to let water out. I did everything like the instructions say, but the flow is very slow

Love it but wish there water flowed faster

I love this water filter! Saved us so much money so far and the water taste so pure, better than plastic water bottles. The only thing I would love different is if the water spout was different. It takes so long to fill up my water cup 😩. Great though!

We actually tried a few home pitchers at once, and this one was our favorite. It filters about a thousand times faster than the Pur brand we had before. We also did a lot of research on contaminants filtered out, and this one was definitely top quality. We've had it for a few months now and still love it! Water tastes great and the plastic pitcher has held up nicely.

I've never cursed a product's design more

Horrendous. My wife bought one of these to switch from a Britta pitcher due to better filtration.
Now, my typical "water flow" is to fill the LifeStraw container and dispense water into 1L Sodastream bottles for carbonating. Below are the problems I would run into, which previously took me all of 15 seconds with a Britta pitcher.
First of all, the dispenser container is only a little over one foot deep. That means it doesn't touch the back wall of our kitchen counter if out of the refrigerator-- And doesn't touch the back of our refrigerator if inside it.
Wouldn't be a problem if the product was heavy enough so that when pushing the water dispensing button the container stayed in place. Not the case. When pushing the dispensing button, unless completely, to-the-brim full of water, you will push the entire container backwards while dispensing a trickle of water-- Because it's too light to withstand the force of pushing the button. And now you have water spillage as well, just for trying. Perfectly maddening.
This then results in Greco-Roman wrestling attempts to find your handling on the container to both keep it in place and dispense water. Add double difficulty if this is in your fridge and it keeps sliding back within the confines of your shelves. Half a star for inventing a unique torture method.
As for when the water actually dispenses, even at full capacity-- It is very slow. It takes just over a minute to fill a 1L Sodastream bottle. I promise you, it feels like an eternity. Another half star for forcibly teaching me a lesson in patience.
In addition to that, after refilling the dispenser to the top, the cover barely seals, and thus almost always guaranteeing some spillage of your new water as it filters if you are moving it back to a fridge or just away from the edge of your sink. Sure, it's a problem with refilling any water filter device, but now you don't even get a handle to transport it. You just get to spill water on yourself and your floor as you move a slippery Dell desktop sized container away from your sink.
Also, bear in mind where you will be using it. We have a horizontal split fridge, and thus if we keep it inside (the bottom half), it results in 30-60 second long squats to refill glasses or bottles. That's on us, but I feel like a faster stream would make this complain null. I guess at least now we're getting some squats in.
Tl'dr ; this container is a micro-plastic filtering torture device, go with the pitcher to alleviate woes.

This dispenser is perfect for replacing all of the bottled water we normally buy. Fits perfect on the counter.
