Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of PUR CR-6000C 2-Stage Oval Water Pitcher with LED IndicatorCustomer Review: Pitcher works great and fits in fridge Summary: 5 Stars
We have naturally very bad tasting and unhealthy water in my area (heavy on chlorine and lead). I wouldn't be surprised it there weren't a bacterial scare at some point, as there have been a few in surrounding neighborhoods. The local government recommends filtering the water and I love the new, slim PUR pitcher. It fits perfectly in the fridge and the indicator light for the pitcher is pretty spot-on. I'd been warned from other reviews about how the handle feels to fragile for the pitcher and how the filter has to be changed 'too often'.
Well, I've used it for awhile now and I disagree with those reviews. The first time I used it, I noticed a very slight change in the flavor of the water (from none to just a hint of chlorine) when the indicator went from green to yellow. I was ready to switch filters not long before it started flashing red. So for those people who reset the LED light, you either aren't supertasters or you have incredibly tasty tap-water to begin with. As for the handle, I can honestly say I am very hard on anything I own and I never remember to grip the body of the pitcher when I pull it from the fridge. I am much more likely to accidentally slam the pitcher into the fridge door or a counter while holding it by just the 'fragile' handle than I am to baby it. And if I haven't broken it after months of use, it must be pretty study stuff. So I guess the handle feels more fragile than it is.
Yes, the pitcher is small and takes a little time to filter. I am considering buying a second pitcher so I have one for cold water and one for the counter (for making things like coffee and for cooking). If the pitcher were bigger, though, it wouldn't fit in my fridge so well, so I can honestly say I'm happy with the smaller size.

The pitcher holds up to seven eight-ounce glasses of water at a time. The superior quality of this filtration system allows you to filter up to 40 gallons (151 liters) of water per filter cartridge, enough to last a typical household one to two months.To use, simply insert the filter, fill the pitcher with water, and set the filter life indicator located at the top of the pitcher. This indicator light alerts you when it's time to change the filter--green means it's working, yellow is your warning light, and at red you need to change the filter. Two-Step Filtration Keeps Your Family Healthy Convenient and easy to use, the pitcher's innovative two-stage filtration system is certified to remove twice as many contaminates as Brita water filtration systems. It removes 99.9% of harmful microbiological cysts, such as cryptosporidium and giardia, as well as other contaminates, such as lead, chloride, and arsenic. What's more, pharmaceutical residue that's often found in the water supplies of major metropolitan areas is reduced by 96%. The smart filter system also leaves beneficial fluoride in the water. This means your water will not only be healthier, it will taste cleaner. PUR believes your water should be as clean, natural, and free of unwanted substances as possible. To this end, All PUR products are tested and certified by NSF International, an independent agency that administers a series of rigorous tests for water purification. Reduce Environmental Waste While Saving Money By investing in a PUR water filtration system, you'll be spending a tenth of what you would in one year of buying bottled water. This amounts to a comparable savings of $600 a year if you were to buy 16-ounce plastic water bottles. By bottling your own filtered water, you'll not only be saving money, you'll also be helping the environment by reducing plastic waste from discarded water bottles.
