Nakii Water Filter Pitcher 1.8L - Long Lasting 150 Gallons Filtered Water Pitchers With Fast Filtration & Purification Technology - Removes Chlorine, Metals For Clean Tasting Water - WQA Certified

The product came in a brand-new packaging, never opened. I liked the design and the quality of materials. The filter is quite flat and shallow it also filters water extremely fast. I initially thought the water might not come out as clean but surprisingly it has clean filtered taste. I’m really happy with it. This is slightly pricier water jug but I was choosing durability and that delivered.

My wife and I got this because of the price, and because - at the risk of sounding pretentious - we needed something to handle cleaning our foul-smelling tap water. The unit has a very unique wood-lam wrap on the handle that looks cool too. As for the filter, some of my draw was the somewhat unique filter set up. Because of how wide the porous surface is, it theoretically should filter quicker than your typical cylindrical filter. Overall, I think that this product had worked quite well for us! We got this back 2 months ago, mid July of 2017, and we have been using/refilling it every day and a half or so. Still going strong on our first filter (though to be clear YMMV depending on a number of factors), but we did pick up a refill pack to make sure we we'll be good to go once that runs out. We think it has been doing a pretty solid job of keeping our water clean, it filters pretty fast (empties the reservoir in about 10 seconds, I think? I'll double check when I get home), and has been solid for us. Anecdotally, one of our friends has told us he's fairly sensitive to what's in his drinking water, but thought our water from this pitcher tasted very good. As a bonus, it has a little door/flap that lets you fill the unfiltered water reservoir without removing the lid. One thing that I'd like to see updated in the design (neutral): the pitcher is somewhat small, so keep in mind that if you need to refill the full thing, it will take a few fills of the unfiltered water reservoir. Now knowing our needs better,I think we personally will be watching for a larger version of the pitcher. Only real con is that the handle is fairly narrow, so it can get a little uncomfortable when putting a full pitcher. But that is fairly nitpicky. It also is somewhat a trade-off for the aesthetic (but still could maybe be improved upon). Also just a note, when you begin soaking and running water over the filter (preparing to insert it into the pitcher the first time), you may notice the material that can be seen through the top holes moving around. This weirded me out at first because I did not notice this, and then saw that the material looked like different colors (ie as though something were wrong with the filter). However just a little bit of jostling while soaking the filter seemed to "fix" what I as seeing. (Full disclosure, it probably didn't actually change anything in the filter performance, likely just something that changed the appearance)

I chose this pitcher because the refills were more affordable than other pitchers I considered. I am amazed that the filters last for four months! The water tastes much better than what comes out of my faucet. It is easy to use, and I am so glad I chose this.

Pros: Filters quickly Large enough pitcher Appealing design Quick fill port at top - Great idea, poor implementation Tastes good Cons: Fill port sometimes gets stuck and needs some encouragement to open Fill port does not seal, very difficult to dispense water while filter tank has water in it without mixing the two as the unfiltered water spills out of the filling port Filter Tanks is too small, even if you refill it every time you dispense water, you will likely be removing more water and than you are replacing, resulting in not having enough water filtered frequently. I would say you need to refill it about 4 times to get a full pitcher. If they increased the filter tank size and fixed the fill port so it doesn't stick and seals when pouring, this would go from a good water filter to a great one.

Perfect pitcher for our needs. The refill is super easy and quick and the filter is long lasting. No leakage and looks perfect in any fridge.

I drink a lot of water and always have done. While bottled tastes much better than tap, there's the plastic refuse to cope with. The cost also adds up since I drink about 3L of water, 1L coffee and 1L tea each day. This will slash my costs, even if I have to change filters twice as often, every 3mo, while eliminating all that plastic waste. The water tastes good. It's not like distilled water that has zero flavor, but it's not like hard or metallic tap water or well water. I find that leaving the fluoride content intact is smart and I'm retired and have been drinking fluoridated water all my life, so it's clearly not killing me or anyone else and beyond sports damage, my teeth are happy chompers. The carafe seems sturdy and the 'picture of wood' handle is 'wicked classy' looking. Depth-wise, it JUST fits in my fridge door, a pretty large fridge. It will fit even counter-height fridge doors turned sideways, though I like that the handle sticks out over the shelf rail making it a snap to grab, and it's firm, not wobbly like some pitchers. The filter really does run water through it amazingly fast. I'm used to, and thus abandoned, Brita and Pur filters which take forever. Both have faster filters that simply take half of forever now. This lets you fill the entire 18cup capacity in about a minute and a half... maybe. The filter fits snugly but not with a 'snap' so that it is easy to lift out for replacement. So, sure. Funny name. Technology we're not used to in the US and a higher up-front price may scare you off but if the average person gets 6 or more times the use per filter, it's actually cheaper to own and the complete kit with one filter costs about what other larger pitcher type filters cost. Besides, it actually does exactly what is claimed: It provides good tasting water FAST. Highly recommended.

I wish I had bought this water filter many years ago. I was tired of lugging gallon containers of spring water from the grocery stores each week. When I decided to try a water filter pitcher, the first name that came to mind was something like Brita (just because I've heard that brand). But after reading the specs of many filters I decided to buy this Nakii. It claimed to remove nearly all the bad stuff from the water, especially the awful taste of chlorine from our tap water. The first time I tasted the water filtered by this Nakii pitcher I was hooked! It tastes exactly the same as the expensive Spring water that have been buying from the grocery stores. Exactly same taste. This pitcher of filtered water is now always stationed on our kitchen counter, and I now find myself drinking a lot of water since I enjoy the crystal clear taste of water. It takes about a minute or so to fill the pitcher from our tap (it needs this filling time to allow for filtration by gravity to take place; this wait time is not bad at all). Each filter is supposed to last roughly 3 to 4 months, and we are on our original filter. However, I also bought 3 pack filter separately for future use. It has already been about 2 months with the original filter that came with the pitcher, and the water tastes the same as day one (great)! I highly recommend this product!

Very nicely designed. Sooo much better than other water filters I've used. Great tasting water, simple...no removing the lid to fill....easy change-filter reminder dial, light weight and attractive. Filters water much more efficiently and quickly and the filters last a good long time... Lot's of value!

The taste of the water is better

This is a really nice looking water filter and it does the job! Great tasting water. It filters really quickly which is nice because I can just turn the tap on low and walk away for a minute or two. It also holds a lot of water and manages to fit in my small apartment sized fridge without taking up too much room.

Very expensive for a product for this intended purpose but head and shoulders in taste on the standard water filters. As others have mentioned to are constantly refilling it so this is my only negative.

I want to like this water filter - it looks great and filters fast. But the refill flap is only convenient when it actually opens; if it’s a little wet, it stays closed and water flows all over the top of the lid. It’s impossible to continue using because I cannot buy replacement filters in Australia. The company cancels the order with no explanation, so the whole thing is useless.

Je l'ai choisi pour son beau "look" transparent car ceux avec des cônes intérieurs me rebutent. Il est beau et attirant donc je le laisse sur le comptoir pour m'assurer de boire les 2 litres d'eau recommandés. Je me fis aux données techniques fournies par la compagnie (voir photo) car je n'ai pas de laboratoire pour vérifier l'efficacité des filtres. Je sais que j'aurais pu acheter le pichet équivalent avec filtre longue durée de la marque populaire pour la moitié du prix, mais j'aime trop le pichet NAKII
