Elite filter is disappointing. It doesn't fit.
The Elite filter does not fit correctly. I have an older Brita dispenser (larger than the current UltraMax) but I could change filters with no issues (I always buy several boxes of filters at a time; they used to be a darker blue colour). With the Elite model, water passes through quickly and doesn't get filtered. I bought two two-filter boxes. A waste of money.

With the Elite filter our water has NO TASTE.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We switched from the "basic" white Brita filter to the Elite filter and there is a HUGE difference in the taste of the water. I couldn't believe it could work as fast as it does and as GOOD as it does. The water where we live tastes AWFUL to me but now there is NO TASTE!! We won't be going back to our old "basic" filter.

Useless
This new version they’re making doesn’t fit snugly in the filter compartment of my dispenser. Water just flows through around the gaps without being filtered.

Thanks for your review, and please accept our apology for the trouble you had with our Elite Filter. Newer pitcher reservoirs will not have a groove in the reservoir for the filter to align with. The filters are slightly malleable, so pressing down firmly should ensure a good fit. To best assist, please call our team at 800-242-7482, mentioning ref# 251015-000537. We hope to hear from you soon. Shannon from The Brita Team

Brita long last filters..brita longlast/ elite
I have a handheld Britta and a standing larger unit and I used the same filter for both because it’s compatible started using Britta during Covid in 2020 and I haven’t stopped since and I really appreciate my tapwater to Britta filtered water. Save me so much money and convenient as well. Very tasty water.

Disappointing for the price
Supposed to work for 6 months. After 2 months,the water trickles down sooo slow it takes forever to drain. I’ve tried it a few of them and it’s the same problem. They are much more expensive than the regular ones. Went back to using the original filter. Very disappointing.

Don’t buy this product
Does not remove calcium and other tps and therefore our tea or coffee had scum on top and sides of cups. Changed to water drop which does the job right.

Works great but...
It always has my water tasting so fresh! But it doesn’t last the 6 months like advertised. It usually goes bad within 5 months. That should be fixed or stopped being advertised.

Brita Elite water filter
This is an interesting piece. The Brita Elite water filter comes with a new pitcher. However, you can still use your original Brita Pitcher and buy this upgrade Elite filter in place of the standard original filter.

Blue Elite filter disappointing
Changed from the older model Brita filters to the Elite model and have been disappointed. It filters fine, but the filter itself comes detached from the slot it is supposed to slide into. I never had this problem with the older white filters. The blue Elite filter seems not to stay in the slot tightly and floats loose, especially when I'm pouring water from the pitcher. Cannot find the older white filters any more. My grocery store seems to have switched to the blue Elite ones only. Not good.

2mon vs. 6mon.
Better choice between 2mon. vs. 6mon. If you can afford it it will be a good buy.

Doesn't stay dow
Doesn't stay in place, old filter never had a problem. These "elite filters" cant possibly be any better considering they let unfilter water go through. Package doesn't say it won't work in our pitcher.

Disappointing
I don’t know what happens but after a month or less, this thing just drips so slow it won’t even go through the filter. It takes hours, and I’ve replaced it at least three times.

Water.
Does an excellent job of reducing odors and water tastes better.
