Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42632 Riviera Water Pitcher, Chrome
Customer Review: Horrible design
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been using Brita pitchers for almost 15 years, and have used quite a few different ones. Recently I had to replace one (which got dropped and cracked). There were only a couple of models available in our local Kroger store, so I ended up with this model. And I have been cursing Brita ever since. (That's after I wrote to them and got an idiotic non-sequitur response.)
Here are the main problems I have with it:
1. The lid is formed with two parts--the part that opens up and the front part that is supposed to stay on the pitcher while one fills it up. Well, the front part does NOT stay on the pitcher. So every time I refill the pitcher, I have to attempt to snap the front part back in place. But the front part of the lid does not fit well with the filtering compartment, so it takes a couple of minutes (of hating Brita) to get the lid sort of back together.
2. The back portion of the lid--the part that opens to allow faucet water to go in--is difficult to open. I usually use two hands to press it in order to make it work. My children have stopped filling up the pitcher now--they can't get the top to open (although the front portion will willingly fall off at the most unexpected moment.)
3. This model may look sleek, but it is not the easiest to be picked up. Something doesn't feel right with the balance between the handle and the reservoir. I think the upper portion of the pitcher curves out too much--it is aesthetically pleasing, but ends up putting too much weight on the top-front of the pitcher, while the handle is designed in such a way that one can't comfortably hold the pitcher at a point on the handle to maintain a sense of balance. You can see, from the picture, the handle's distance to the main body narrows down considerably as it gets to the top.
The idiotic letter from Brita would not have mattered much, had I been able to find alternative models. After much searching online, it seems that Brita has pretty much abandoned all of its tried-and-true models in favor of the more aerodynamic-looking models (except for the "Classic" round model). So perhaps Brita has gone the direction of HP (the computer/printer company). I guess all good things must end somehow.
