Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 35530 Ultramax Dispenser
Customer Review: Accurate review my normal person
Summary: 4 Stars
This item is as advertised. I enjoy it becasue it uses the same filters of my other Brita Products. IT holds a VERY LARGE amount of water. The Price is perfect!
I have seen other reviews that compare this to other items. Typically thoser are more expensive items. I would expect more if I spend more.
I got this item becasue I have smaller brita pitchers and they work great.
I will not change to PUR because it costs more.
I use this item to removethe taste my tap water has.
I don't research "health advantages" to filtered water.
If you are someone who buys bottleed water because your tap water tastes funny try this product. It will save you money and the water tastes good. By good I mean it tastes similiar to Evian, not as good as fiji.
If you are looking for health reasons becasue you believe your tap water is bad Please don't consider my review and keep in mind every company will tell you the wonders of there magical water filter and why it is better.
Customer Review: It leaks, but at least it tells you when to change the filter
Summary: 2 Stars
The filter change indicator is great, but if you read the fine print you'll see that it has a "non-replaceable sealed battery designed to last 5 years." After that, "the pitcher is still functional, but the electronic filter change indicator will eventually stop working."
That's OK with me, because I think I'm getting rid of it after 7 months. Nearly from the start, it's been leaking around the spigot. I was blaming my refrigerator for the little puddles on the lower shelves, but then I pinpointed the problem. I'd stocked up on filters, so I tried to deal with it for a while by putting an aluminum pan underneath it, with a notch cut out for the spigot. I'm finally on my last filter, and now it starts to dribble every time I open the spigot, beyond the edge of my pan. I'm ready to throw in the towel (or stop throwing in the towel!) and get some other brand.
I probably should have given it just one star, but I'm a generous guy.
Customer Review: The perfect solution for a family
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been using the Ultramax for eight months. We had a regular Brita Pitcher, but when it is full it was too heavy for our young children to lift and pour. This model with a spout lets the kids refill their glasses without mess. It is also easy to refill and it never leaks when you take it from the sink back to the fridge.
Some of the reviews mention a vent in the lid leading to fridge odors - there is no vent in the lid of mine. There is less air flow than a standard pitcher. The water never tastes off. We have to refill it at least every other day so it doesn't have time to sit and collect odor either.
To contradict another review, the spigot never leaks and is situated close to the bottom of the tank. I tip it to get that last half-cup of water out, but no big deal. We have had no mold issues either. Please note that several of the 1-star reviews were made by the same person.
Customer Review: Great Dispenser
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been having trouble with mineral deposits in my gourmet single cup coffe brewer. Customer service recomended using bottles water. Way too expensive! So we purchased the Brita 35530 and are so glad we did. The coffe brewer now works perfectly and as an added bonus, we always have ice cold bottled water quality water to drink for next to nothing per glass. We just make sure to fill the top tank before bed each night and all of the next day we have enough water for both the coffee brewer and drinking. The large capacity of this dispenser makes it ideal for those who don't have time to wait as each pitcher full is filtered. One caviat...if you have a bottom freezer refridgerator, make sure your shelf height wil accomodate the height of this unit. Allow an extra .5 inch in height to access the fill port or you will have to remove the entire unit to fill, and it is very heavy when fullCustomer Review: What are these people talking about?

I've owned this item for about 18 months now and love it. Yes, I have experienced a small amount of leakage on occasion from the seal on the spigot. Very minor leakage, as in a few drops over the course of a week or more. The improvement in the quality of my tap water is well worth that small issue. I've experienced no mold or any other kind of sanitary issue at all. It is larger than a pitcher, and therefore not terribly easy to fill if you're yanking it out of your firdge and trying to put it under a tap. I use a plastic cup, filling it through the opening on the top while still in the fridge, and have no difficulty doing that. Maybe I'm just too thrilled by having such and improvement in the quality of my water as compared to the tap, and I'd be happy with any water filter, but I am amazed to see such negative reviews for a product I have been so satisfied with.
