aarke Purifier Glass Water Pitcher, Refillable Stainless Steel Filter, 8-Weeks Performance, BPA-Free, Dishwasher Safe, Pure & Enriched Refill Granules, 1.18L (5 Cups) Capacity

I was looking for a water filter pitcher that has no part of water in contact with plastic, water filters that do NOY have one time use plastic parts that need to be changed out/thrown out periodically. These requirements were actually very hard to find, until I found this which fulfills my requirements.Pros: bottom is lined with rubber so that it's a little more durable than glass hitting hard surface when placing it on my counter top. Refillable filters that do not produce tons of unnecessary plastic waste (such as the brita plastic filter pack, gosh, so bad for the environment!). The water filter tank and pod is made of stainless steels. The item looks very nice and stylish. Instructions were very detailed. Dishwasher safe, everything can be taken apart !Cons: this item is not perfect. The underside of the lid is made of plastic which could be incontact with wate. I would have preferred this in a different material. I adjust by closing the lid when water has gone into the bottom compartment. Filter pouches are not cheap and must be purchased from this company. I plan to look for a larger water filter packs so I don't have to use these small packs offered by same seller that has constant plastic packaging waste. I'd recommend the seller offer larger packs of water filter to reduce plastic waste and wrap using cardboard boxes.Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

This aarke Glass Water Pitcher with refillable stainless steel filter has been a lifesaver for me! I am living temporarily in our vacation home that relies on local public water supply. I was beside myself over the water tasting terrible and not being able to drink it. I even tried boiling it and that made no difference in the taste. I did a lot of research and debated between a water pitcher and a countertop one, or even something with reverse osmosis. For the short time I are here (3 months) I decided upon the water pitcher. I love this one! The glass so far is durable and I am so happy there are no plastic parts! Just what I was after. The value for the price paid isn’t great, however I truly couldn’t find anything else that fit the bill for me. I don’t mind having to replace the filters every 8 weeks since it makes a HUGE difference in the taste and smell of the water. I purchased the 5 cup one which is just right for me. It doesn’t take that long to fill it up. I transfer it into another glass pitcher and then fill this one up again so I always have great tasting water at my fingertips. As far as contaminants, I am not sure how to know how many it actually removes. I am mainly happy to be able to drink good water and not get all nervous and panicky not having any readily available. I am a big water drinker so it is important that it be good quality, which this seems to be. It is quite functional and even though a little bit heavy, it isn’t so bad. To me, it just means that it is solidly made. Thank you.

Great, solid product and beautifully designed. Very happy. Filters well.

So far, we are very pleased with this pitcher with filter. The pitcher is made completely with glass and the filter parts are all stainless. The water tastes great. Everything I have read about it indicates it filters very well. So, between that and the fact that there is no plastic makes it a great product. It is a little heavy lifting it to put away in the fridge. Once filled up, the water seems a little slow to got down, but it's not terribly slow. Again, NO PLASTIC.

I bought this item because it’s made of glass, not plastic, and I paid a significantly higher price for that reason. Less than a month in, the knob on top of the lid came off, and now I can’t close it at all. For such a high price, I expected much better quality and durability.What’s worse, there’s no way to contact the seller for a refund or replacement. That’s extremely frustrating and makes the whole experience feel like a scam.Thankfully, I held off on buying additional ones for my daughters, which I had been planning to do. I’m leaving this review to warn others—don’t waste your hard-earned money on something that won’t last and comes with no customer support.

Is this a bit pricey? Yes. Is it worth it? In my opinion, yes! It is made almost entirely of stainless steel and glass (a few smaller parts have thick plastic but otherwise it filters water well and makes the water taste fantastic. Some have mentioned the filtration taking a bit of time, it’s not that long. Maybe a minute or two.It holds a decent amount of water and stays really cold due to the glass pitcher.It is glass, we had one prior to the current one we have because one family member set it on the edge of a counter and it dropped pretty hard onto vinyl flooring and shattered. That being said, it’s held up to hand washing and being knocked around in the fridge and among other dishes. I would easily recommend this and purchase this again. My only complaint is the mess of the type of filter it uses.

More expensive than a lot of them but absolutely the highest quality, performs flawlessly and looks a LOT better on our countertop than any of the others. We knew we would be putting it out where everyone can see it and it looks beautiful.

The media could not be loaded. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! After reading all the reviews I thought it was going to take a long time to filter. Oh how they were so wrong. It filters very fast and even though it looks small, I get 1 full liter of water. The taste is the best and NO PLASTIC! I highly recommend this item especially if you are looking to change your lifestyle from plastic to glass. The bottom is cushioned so the fear of it smashing or cracking is NOT an issue at all.
