It's a decent water pitcher that provides enough water for a small family, without having to change the filter too often. I bought this about two month ago and we use it regularly. Here's one tip: make sure to refill the pithcer with enough water so that the filter is covered. In the beginning, I noticed that the water wasn't really much alkaline but I figured later I used it wrong: I first measured the pH of the water with pH paper (if you get some make sure there's a color change in the range 7-9), but when I only refilled a little bit of water, the water would just run through the filter within 10 seconds or so, and the pH would be just slightly above 7. If you check for bottled alkaline water, it is typically advertised as having a pH ~9, and that was more of what I'd expected. When I refilled the pitcher to 3/4 of more, the water would still "touch" the filter, and more exchange can obviously happen in that situation, and the pH would now be between 8 and 9. Aha! So make sure to refill it to an appropriate level.
