Good-tasting water, a little tricky to refill
I've had this pitcher for a few months now. We have okay tap water here, but water from the Pur pitcher tastes better, and I also like very much that I'm not wasting plastic bottles. I've tried a Brita dispenser before, as well as a Pur faucet-mounted filter, and I prefer this pitcher. The Pur water tastes better to me than the Brita water, and the faucet-mounted filter was always in the way.
I agree with others that the pitcher is difficult to fill and isn't the best design, but I tend to work at things until I find a trick to it. Here's how I fill mine (I'm right-handed):
1. I place my left hand on top of the pitcher, fingers toward the handle.
2. I place my left index finger on one side of the tail of the lid and my left thumb on the other side.
3. I pinch my finger and thumb together on the tail of the lid and raise it a bit.
4. Then, holding the handle with my right hand as if pouring, I press the pad of my right thumb firmly against the raised edge of the tail. I continue pressing forward and up with my thumb, and the lid comes off.
Obviously, it's also tricky to describe in words, but once you do it, you'll get it. Hope it works for you.
Overall, I'm happy with the pitcher. I've thought about getting the dispenser with the spigot, but the pitcher is easy to take in and out of the fridge. The lifespan of the filters seems short (or the indicator is dishonest), but it hasn't been much of a problem.

Difficult to re-fill
I love PUR filters, the water quality is great - that being said, unfortunately its the design of this pitcher that disappoints.
I bought this pitcher with the intention of taking it to work so we could have cool filtered water on demand, yet I sent it back within in a day of receiving it because of the clumsy and difficult way to re-fill! You have to take the whole top off, there is no flap or easy fill technique, and after trying it a couple of times I realized that no-one in the office was going to take the time to pry the lid apart from the filter chamber (which is really quite difficult) and actually fill it up again!

It's very very good. I love Pur
I am delighted(enchanted) with this product, it is necessary to buy it, the drip goes away with a tape of teflon.
