Reviews

Water tastes clean

"I have owned a Brita filter for years and was skeptical if the LifeStraw filter would be any different. The setup was fairly easy. There's a micro filter and a carbon filter, so the water is getting thoroughly filtered. The filter rate is on the slower side and can take longer as the pitcher fills with more water. It takes about 3-4 fills to fill up the pitcher. I tried the LifeStraw filtered water compared to the Brita filtered water, and I did notice a slight difference. The LifeStraw water tasted a little cleaner with less of an aftertaste of tap water. So while it takes longer to filter, the water comes out cleaner tasting."

— Jackie L. (4/5)

Advanced water filter pitcher!

"This is a very good water pitcher with an advanced filter system. There are activated carbon and ion filters that remove bacteria, parasites, metals, chemicals, and microplastics. The filter system also works fast! I love the top of it that features an easy fill flap, and the cap is slightly tilted towards the fill area so you don't make a mess. That's what I've been needing, because I always make a huge mess when I fill up my old pitcher. I bought the 7-cup blue model and I love it!"

— Sarah S. (5/5)

A stylish pitcher for everyday use

"This LifeStraw water filter pitcher is a great size for our family of two. It holds seven cups, so we have enough water for everyday use, but it doesn't take up too much space in the fridge. I also like the clean, simple design. It looks nice sitting out on the counter. The two-stage filtration is another reason I chose it. According to the packaging, it filters more than 30 contaminants, including microplastics, lead, and PFAS. The pitcher feels like a practical choice for our home, and I'm happy with the size and design so far."

— Lisa O. (5/5)

Lightweight quality plastic pitcher that filters most of the contaminants

"LifeStraw Home Essential plastic water filter pitcher is easy to assemble and made of quality lightweight plastic. It filters most of the contaminants that are found in the water which are not seen by our naked eyes. Cons: make sure not to use the very first filtered water, as it tastes bad."

— Anjusat A. (4/5)

I love having clean, fresh-tasting filtered water ready for my family without relying on plastic bottles.

"I've really been enjoying the LifeStraw Home Essential pitcher. I like that the water filters as I fill the pitcher, so I always have filtered water ready to drink. The water tastes clean and fresh, and it's been a great way for us to drink more water while using fewer plastic bottles. My daughter especially loves drinking water, so having filtered water ready in the fridge has been really convenient for us."

— Miriam Z. (5/5)

So many good features on this water filtration pitcher

"We love the size of this pitcher; it's tall and slender, so it doesn't take up a lot of space in the fridge. The filter is good for up to a year, which is great, but I'm not sure how to tell when it's due to be changed without an indicator. It pours well without spilling. It's easy to fill with minimal mess. The handle is on the slimmer side, so a suggestion would be to make it a little thicker for ease of use."

— Christie L. (4/5)

Crisp, clean tasting water and sleek design for the kitchen.

"I absolutely love this LifeStraw Home Water Filter Pitcher. Not only does it look super sleek and modern sitting on my countertop, but the water tastes incredibly clean, crisp, and pure. Knowing that LifeStraw's filtration technology removes microplastics, heavy metals, and bacteria gives me total peace of mind for my family. It's easy to refill, sturdy, and makes drinking water so much more enjoyable."

— Yvonne L. (5/5)

Great product

"I was really impressed with how easy this dispenser was to use! It was simple to set up, convenient to refill, and the water tasted great. I also really loved how compact it was, and it fit perfectly in our refrigerator without taking up a ton of space. The dispenser made it so much easier to have cold, refreshing water ready to go whenever we wanted it. It's practical, convenient, and easy to store, making it a great addition to our refrigerator. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an easy way to keep great-tasting water on hand!"

— Kayla B. (5/5)

Difficult

"A little difficult and time consuming if you want to work the filter right, but the pour and the weight of it is good for my wrist issues. The capacity is good for a one person house. Their website says the filter goes faster over time, but we will have to see."

— Felicia S. (3/5)

The best in the game

"I have used LifeStraw products in the past and been a big fan. This pitcher is so sleek, does a great job filtering water, and is so easy to use and clean. And each of these products brings clean water to a child in need? That is reason alone to choose LifeStraw over similar products from other brands."

— Caitlyn M. (5/5)

Q&A

Can you remove the fillable lid flap? In my old version of the pitcher I cannot remove it so I feel like I am never able to fully clean that part of the pitcher.
Hi Jessica, The new essential pitcher has a similar style lid but we do not recommend pulling out the flap as it can break. We recommend using a soft bottle brush or toothbrush to clean in the area of the lid for best results!
are the filters in someway recyclable. I feel like it is just adding to the whole plastic waste
Hi, We completely understand your concern about plastic waste. At this time, LifeStraw Home replacement filters are not designed for standard curbside recycling, as they contain multiple filtration materials that generally cannot be separated through normal recycling programs. We appreciate the question. Feedback like this is valuable as we continue looking at ways to improve our products and packaging.
What's the volume in mL?
Hello, The new Essential 7 cup pitcher is 1.7 L or 1656 mL.
