Ratings & Reviews for Brita Ultra Max Water Filter Dispenser Gray Plastic Water filter pitcher

Specs

There are no meaningful specs! A %-age reduction is meaningless. Reduction from what level?

LEAKS! DO NOT BUY!

Has the typical leak problem. Worked well for a month, consistent leaking from the spigot ever since. No amount of tightening, adjusting, etc can fix it. Very disappointing, and wish I had read the reviews before buying. Everyone seems to have a huge problem with leaks from the dispenser models.

Good water and holds a great amount of water

Water tastes great and fills quickly. Saves me money on water bottles

This IS the water dispenser to buy!

I just bought my second Brita Ultra Max water dispenser. The first one I bought was at least 10 years ago (and maybe closer to 15 years ago); the spigot broke off. Figuring how many times a day I used the dispenser, that is over 40,000 flips of the spigot...not bad! :) The first dispenser still holds/filters water so I still use it as a back-up. The new one I just bought is identical in size and color to my first pitcher and works like a dream!. I have not had any problems with either of th...

Not good

Worked great and then after about a month or two started leaking. It leaks a lot, we have woken up to the floor soaking wet multiple times now. We have to angle it into the kitchen sink. Very frustrating

Still doing it's thing!

I have had zero problems with this water dispenser and I have had it for years! No leaking. At. All. Love the water taste and slim fit for the refrigerator.

Constantly leaks

Constantly leaks. Utter garbage. Apparently I have to type more even though there is nothing more to say. Even this website is garbage 😞

Good size

Nice and big, fits well in my fridge, havent had any problems with leaking out of dispenser

Very bad leakage

I have had four of these in the last two years. Every one of them has leaked all over my fridge after a few months. I had a previous version of this dispenser that lasted 20 years. I replaced it when I bought a smaller fridge because it was wider than I wanted. I wish I had kept it. It would be worth the space to not have floods in my fridge every few months.

Doesn't work with Elite Filter

I purchased this and added the extra filtering with the Elite filter. However, the filter doesn't fit suggly in the space and so water is leaking around the sides and not getting filtered. The website says this filter works for all models. Not sure what the problem is. I texted customer service and they said to firming push the filter in, which I did. Same problem continues.

Slim Profile

I like that this filter is a simple profile and Dow at take up too much counter space.

IT BROKE! BUT I BOUGHT IT AGAIN?????

THE SPIGOT TAB BROKE AND IT ONLY DISPENSED A TRICKLE! Why am I giving it 5 star? Cause this critical failure of the Brita happened after almost a decade of it being my families main water supply. This thing was a wedding gift and has lasted 4 moves, 3 cats trying to kill it mufasa/scar style, 2 toddlers that have no strength control while practicing filling up their cups, and everything else. When it broke we IMMEDIATELY went out and bought it again! Love this dang thing and definitely worth ev...

Dripping Spout.

Love this Brita, but it quickly started dripping and leaking in our fridge just 5 months after buying.

Horrible

Mines is broke after two weeks of me buying it it leaks extremely bad smh

I bought this because I liked the idea of having fresh, clean cold water all the time in my fridge. It would have been great if it didn't drip water every 5 second. The water drops have to be collected by a bowl under it. A waste of time. I would never tell anyone to buy it.

Spigot constantly dripping

I bought the Brita water filter dispenser only 6 months ago and the spigot is constantly dripping. I have to put a cup under the spigot to prevent everything getting all wet. Either the spigot is defective or just plain back design. Not worth the price or headache of it.

Disappointed in the Flaws

I bought this dispenser at the end of May 2025. Over the past few weeks, the spout has been leaking all over my fridge. I am very disappointed that this product failed after less than three months. It seems that at a minimum, if you know that the spout is a point of weakness, you should either fix your design OR offer replacement parts so that I do not have to try to figure out how to have safe drinking water in my last few weeks of pregnancy.

New house - new Brita

This larger Brita still fit on a shelf in my fridge and has the convenience of a spout. It only needs to be taken out of the fridge when it needs refilling. Very happy with it.

Disappointed – Leaking Spout and Cracked Base

I really wanted to like this Ultramax 27-cup dispenser, but I’m very disappointed with the quality. The spout started leaking not long after I began using it, and now the bottom is cracking, which is also causing water to leak. I expected this product to last much longer, especially from a trusted brand.
