Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 35530 Ultramax Dispenser
Customer Review: Tasty water
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace my home water delivery. It is a less expensive option for clean pure drinking water. I put strongly flavored Los Angeles drinking water into the Brita and it comes out tasting fine. Often you can tell the difference with tea; this water makes an excellent tea.
It is far easier to fill than expected. It fits right into the sink and I can run the tap into the fill hole easily. It's not too heavy to carry to its spot, unlike the 5 gallon bottled water.
My only complaint would be that, when the water drops below a certain level, the tap will no longer dispense it, since it is below the tap level. I choose to use that as a reminder to refill.
I know some suggest keeping it in the refrigerator but who has that much room in the fridge?
All in all, I'm very pleased.
Customer Review: brita ultramax water dispenser
Summary: 4 Stars
I owned brita ultramax dispenser for couple years. I noticed mold every once a while found in mostly the faucet and sometimes in the plastic top cover. The mold color is pink and if I did nothing to clean it, it will eventually become black mold/brown.
Never noticed any mold inside the dispenser itself. I always fill up the water in full and never let it empty no more than 1 day.
My suggestion is to check the underneath of the faucet every once a week. The best way it to put paper towel inside the faucet and see if you see any sign of pink mold. Sometimes the mold can't be visibly seen.
I usually clean everything at the same time as filter replacement; probably every 3 months.
To be safe, you can clean it once a month. Just remember don't let your dispenser empty for longer than a day.
Customer Review: Leaks.....badly
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this at target. The spigot is cheap plastic now as well as the nut on the other side. Furthermore, there is only 1 O-ring which is on the inside of the unit. I filled up the unit to discover all the water on the floor of my refrigerator and kitchen floor in only 30 mins. When I attempted to tighten spigot, it never gets tight. As it is plastic, it just rolls over and never stops turning nor gets tight. Although my experience might not be typical and might be extreme, the obvious design flaw leaves everybody vulnerable eventually, which is what you can read in other reviews. If Brita had any brains, they would use a much sturdier screw and nut assembly as it will break eventually; or immediately, as it did in my case. I returned and got a full refund within a day of purchasing. It's junk.Customer Review: Does what it's supposed to do, but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
It filters out some minerals and chlorine, and the water tastes great. The size is reasonable, fits in a fridge, and definitely needs to be refilled less often than the Brita water pitchers. The spout means that water does not need to finish filtering before pouring. I have an older model that does not include the electronic sensor, but it did come with plastic stickers to attach to it to indicate when the filter needs replacing.
The problems: The spout is mounted too high, and it does not drain fully, and tilting the dispenser does not help with the last 1/2" of water left. It leaked a bit when it was placed in the fridge, but the problem went away when I moved it to my counter and was kept at room temperature.
I'm happy with it for the 2 months I've had it so far.
Customer Review: Brita Dispenser - Wonderful 5 Stars
Brita Ultramax DispenserThis is a wonderful product and saves you so much money.
It's easy to use, you just keep filling it with water and it slowly
goes through the filter providing you with great, filtered water whenever you want it. You can fill up bottles, ice cube trays, I could go on and on and it never costs any more money than the original purchase price.
No more buying and carrying gallon bottles of filtered water.
I have had mine for about a month and it's paid for itself over and over. You do have to replace the filter but it's good for gallons!!! before you do.
I couldn't be more pleased with this item.
