LifeStraw Home Water Filter Pitcher 7 Cup + Silicone Base Glass

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.

I should have read up before buying. I was shocked when it took over 10 minutes to filter one reservoir full of water which is only about 1.5 cups. To fill the 7 cup pitcher it will take me probably 35-40 minutes and I have to fill the reservoir 5-6 times.... so checking in on it every ten minutes and filling then waiting...and waiting.... all for just 7 cups of water?? Oh, and setting it up was a massive pain. The carbon filter cap is really hard to open and the filter itself sits on the pitcher but there are gaps where unfiltered water can get into the pitcher and contaminate your filtered water. Horrible waste of money. Just avoid it altogether.

I just recently disassembled my 7 cup picture to wash it after daily use of 4 months. The entire inside of the glass pitcher was coated in microplastics. This part of the pitcher is the drinkable water already filtered. I’m very concerned that this filtration is failing.

Water tastes great, love the container. I’m happy with the fact the container is glass, rather than plastic.

I love my Lifestraw pitcher. I love the taste of the water, and that my purchases help bring clean water to people who need it. I totally respect your mission. I just wish that replacement parts would be available for purchase. My old pitcher is destined for the landfill because the delicate filter chamber gasket broke.

Definitely recommend !!! Getting rid of microplastics should be a priority, and this product does this

I've tried many different water filters (from Zero Water to Berkey and some other stuff) and I haven't found anything that great. I have well water, and would like the minerals but not the bad stuff. I've found that either everything is filtered out or there are weird tastes to my water. . . With the LifeStraw filter, it is the first time I LIKE my water!! And I LOVE the pitcher. . . I love the glass and that it is easy to use and keep clean and move around (unlike the big stainless containers) and the way it's made actually makes sense and works well (unlike all other filter pitchers). I also like that people who need clean water get to benefit from the purchases. Thank you so much for this product!! I am so glad I gave it a try! :)

Love that y’all make a glass water filter pitcher. The filter holds such a small amount of water so it takes a lot longer to fill then I would like, but otherwise Love it.

This is my second pitcher. I love it. I tell everyone how much I love it. Best tasting water ever!

I like that this is made of glass, but it takes forever for water to drain.

Water filters quickly. The water tastes very good and like the sleek design.

There’s a lip drip, but protecting the family from pfas’s is comforting.

I love the 7 cup home glass filter. I chose it because of the glass pitcher and lifestraw filtering system. The water tastes great and the filter works well. I use it a lot everyday. I would highly recommend it for everyday use at home.

Outstanding with one minor irritation - the top flap doesn’t automatically drop back down but sticks in the open position and has to be pushed closed manually. I thought it would eventually loosen up, but I’ve been using it a few weeks now and the issue remains. Other than that, it’s beautifully designed.

We purchased the Lifestraw product because it was glass and we wanted to get away from the plastic in our current water filter pitcher. So we were disappointed to discover the interior strainer was plastic. Also, it is hard to get in and out of the glass pitcher

We have delicious cold well water but filtering with this life straw filter makes the water smooth as silk- that’s the only way I can describe it. We’re happy with the purchase. Wish they made whole house filters! Please work on that, LifeStraw.

The LifeStraw Home 7-Cup Glass pitcher and filter seem to work very well. The water, once filtered, appears crystal clear, and when I boil it in a glass electric kettle, nothing adheres to the metal base (as it does with water from the faucet), suggesting that the microplastics in the tap water are being successfully filtered by the LifeStraw filter. That is a tremendous relief. The water tastes delicious, too. When I can afford a larger unit, I definitely plan to acquire one.
