LifeStraw Home– Water Filter Pitcher, 7-Cup, Glass with Silicone Base, White, for Everyday Protection Against Bacteria, Parasites, Microplastics, Lead, Mercury, PFAS and a Variety of Chemicals

I bought this LifeStraw Home water filter pitcher for my apartment during grad school since the water quality in my area isn’t the best, and I’ve been really happy with it overall. One of the main reasons I chose this was the glass pitcher. I like that it reduces the amount of plastic in contact with my water, and it just feels cleaner and more premium compared to typical plastic pitchers. The silicone base is also a nice touch since it helps prevent slipping and protects surfaces. The water tastes really good, noticeably cleaner and fresher compared to straight tap water. It’s reassuring knowing that it’s designed to filter out a wide range of contaminants, which was a big priority for me. One thing to keep in mind is that the filtering process is a bit slow at first. The first few uses take longer to fill up, just like the instructions mention, but it does get better over time. It’s not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of if you’re expecting instant results. It’s also easy to use day-to-day, and the size is perfect for keeping in the fridge without taking up too much space. Overall, I think it’s a great upgrade from more common and popular water filter pitchers. It looks better, feels higher quality, and does a great job improving water taste and quality.

I have had this a few weeks now and I’m very happy with it. The water taste good and it is a sturdy glass material material with a silicone cover at the bottom to help protect it. I will say I was initially worried when I first got it because it was taking FOREVER to filter. Now it’s a little faster, but I do expect it to be somewhat slower because it seems to be a good filter. I’m always having to fill it because it’s not a huge capacity, but I don’t mind because of the quality of the water it is just me though so for more than one person sharing it due to the capacity and a slow filtering. It might be hard for multiple people to use it.

This LifeStraw 7 cup pitcher is super streamlined and attractive! The water tastes cleaner! But it does have several design quirks that I hope will be fixed in future models. This is just so nice looking and feels much higher quality than the competition - we have mostly used Brita pitchers in the past and this feels much nicer in terms of materials. I was looking for a glass pitcher without any plastic, and could not find something that was completely plastic free, but at least the body of this one is glass, with a silicone outer (removable) base. The double filter is pretty cool and they say it removes microplastics plus lead and bacteria, which I have not seen in other filters! Nice. I was really excited about that and I can actually taste a pretty noticeable difference in the taste of this water vs a Brita lead reducing filter pitcher. The main downfall of this lovely pitcher is how unbelievably slow the filter is...the first use and then following 3-4 uses were painfully slow, it took literally all day to filter one batch (the first batch) of water (not a whole pitcher full, just one small reservoir full). I was shocked. This speed has improved, but is still really slow compared to the Brita. Like really slow. Another design flaw is the location of the handle - I love that it is glass, but the handle is up really high on the body of the pitcher and when you have this half full or more, the handle is hard to hold and the pitcher is hard to tilt because of the weight. Speaking of which, the weight of this pitcher will be a major challenge for some because of the glass--when it is full, it weighs over 8 lbs. The last thing to know / not great feature is that the reservoir that you fill to filter the water is so small (I totally understand why, design-wise, it could not really be any bigger) that you have to fill it up SO, so many times to get a full pitcher. My goal in buying this was to have one pitcher to use for the day for myself so I would know how much water I am drinking in a day and then fill it up at night. Well I don't have that much time on my hands at night to refill the reservoir so many times, since it also takes so long to filter. I'm including a picture of the pitcher when it is pretty full and with this amount of water, the entire thing weighs 7 lbs 9 oz. Another picture to show the size difference. Overall I am still happy with this purchase! Just wish the filter were faster and reservoir were larger.

I love this pitcher. It's makes water taste fantastic. There is no off taste and no funny smell. It does take time for it to filter but I just add it to a pitcher and start another batch. It's very sturdy and no leaks. It turned out to be will worth the price. Better than anything I've used.

Good water Jug. I like it. Now drinking safe water without worry. The price is a bit higher comparing other similar products in the market. The filter refills are also costly. Overall, I am satisfied, just they need to lower the price for filters and the product.

This product is utterly fantastic! We've used a number of different counter-top filters over the years. Our city water is technically safe for drinking, but tastes like swamp water. A couple years ago we switched to bottled water from Costco after the counter-top filter that we used to use simply couldn't provide the quality of water we wanted. Reading about plastic micro-particles prompted me to once again start considering the counter-top filter options. Wow, am I ever glad I found the LifeStraw Home water filter/pitcher. It produces water that has no swamp taste at all -- it tastes like great water should taste! The filter runs a little slow (particularly at first), so we ended up buying a second one. I'm absolutely amazed at how good it is and I'd recommend it to anybody interested in improving their water drinking experience.

Water tastes fresh and crisp due to filtration system, easy to use love that it’s a glass water pitcher.

Nice design and great quality water filter. It takes long time to filter even 1 Litre of water but I am happy with my purchase

Very pleased with this double filter system that removes microplastics in addition to harmful chemicals and microbes. Nice tasting water too! A good option for those who don’t want or don’t have space for an under sink RO filter system.
