LifeStraw Home Water Filter Pitcher 7 Cup + Silicone Base Glass

It takes FOREVER for the water to filter down. Is this happening to anyone else? I only had this product for a month

I love the system. Things I would improve: 1) The pour spout is to small. I always seem to spill a little water pouring. The water comes quickly because of the length of the pitcher. 2) The glass could be slightly more dense. I haven't done it yet, but i could easily breaking the pitcher by hitting it on the sink or something when cleaning.

I love the glass pitcher. It looks stylish. The water tastes great. I just wish I had bought a bigger pitcher.

I am very happy with the taste of the water and how well it cleans. I have also embraced your mission of helping supply water to the less fortunate. I was a little disappointed with the length of time it took to get a replacement, and it took many emails to get the final product fully replaced. I was also wondering if there is anway the pitcher could be made with thicker glass as it seems to break easily, as it is fragile. Hence, the four stars instead of five. I am considering the table top model at a later date. Is that made more durable? Thank you for making a quality product! Blessings! Mary

I am purchasing my second glass pitcher to be used around the house. First one is still going strong 6 years after purchase—easy filter replacement and peace of mind filtering out so much unwanted stuff!

The glass carafe is elegant and the water is delicious.

Love that’s it’s a glass carafe- less microplastics. Also like that you can pour while there is water in the filter chamber. Great product ticks all my boxes

We nearly died from dehydration waiting for the water to filter. SO. SLOW. It’s been in use for about a week and I can’t honestly say I’ve noticed any kind of meaningful acceleration. We now have a kind of “scarcity mentality” filling it every time we use it for fear that we’ll drink water faster than this thing can filter (which already seems to be the case). Yes, it tastes good. But 3 hours better than our old water pitcher filter? Um, probably not.

Takes extremely long to filter. Water tastes good, but it takes 8 hours to fill the pitcher so that I can refill my water bottle. I will most likely look for a different product in the future.

lovely pitcher but it took too long to fill so we returned it

The best ever. My 2nd one plus 1 for a family member.

Love this pitcher! The slow filtration was a little concerning at first, but it works fine now!

I love my lifestraw filter! I can taste a big difference in the water. Highly recommend the glass pitcher!

So far so good. Small reservoir so need to refill with tap water often. But tastes great. The silicone base keeps the glass safe and nonslip.

Happy the body is made of glass but wish there weren’t any plastic inside. Main complaint is the water is SUPER slow to filter even after multiple uses.

Someone should have told me that it would take an entire day to get this pitcher set up and filled with water. I pulled off the silicone bottom to remove the circular piece of plastic with blue lettering, and I got the bottom back on, but it looks crooked. The filter also seems crooked. And though the water is flowing through, it's so slow, that I have to leave it on the counter for at least half an hour to remind me to refill if it's completely empty. I'm not sure I'm going to stick with this pitcher. I like that the pitcher is glass, and it's cheaper than Clearly Filtered, but definitely more time consuming.

I love this pitcher and the quality of the filter. I especially love that it filters out microplastics. The only feedback that I have is that there is no indicator for when to change out the filter. I would love for the filter to have an indicator for when to change the filter. For example, someone can use the filter less or more frequently which changes the time for when to change the filter versus the standard recommendation. I do not use mine as frequently which also seems a bit wasteful. Outside of this, it is a great product.

I've been trying to get away from plastic so when I saw this I was excited! Yes, it's very heavy and I had to rearrange my refrigerator shelves, but it's so worth it. It's wonderful! I bought the lilac color and it looks great. The water is purified, refreshing and cold. It does get better with time since the fill up process was very slow at the beginning.

Picked this up today and brought it home, followed the instructions and here's my opinion so far: ~Plastic filter and plastic filter holder (so is it adding microplastics as well as filtering them?) ~I filled the pitcher over an hour ago, and it's not even half full yet. At this rate it's going to take hours to fill. ~ the seal for the filter housing is so tight it was nearly impossible to remove the filter housing. Nothing that has to be taken apart on this is easy. It's slippery and there is no place to grab onto for a firm grip. This includes adding the charcoal filter into the bottom of the filter housing. I'm very worried this is going to break trying to replace filters. ~ I poured about a tablespoon of water out and it tastes fine. Obviously there is no way to know if it's actually filtering what it states, so with all the positive reviews I will assume that it does what they say. ~The silicone "cap" on the bottom is a definite plus as it will hopefully avoid breakage from setting it down on the counter. ~I know there are better options out there, but not at this price point. So if you don't want to spend significantly more, this is a good option, even with all it's flaws.

I wanted a water filter with a glass pitcher and this was the best I could find. A couple downsides for me are that it's too tall to fit in a standard fridge and the filter part, which sits in the water, is still made of plastic. Really slow filtration at first, but as the instructional pamphlet says, it gets much faster with use.
