Avoid this model COMPLETELY!:
Very bad design of the lid fit. It's true what the other detractors report. The lid will actually warp over time and will 'rocker' back and forth from front to back and never seal properly. This will cause the lid to fall off while attempting a pour unless you hold the lid in place with your free hand.

If you pour when the pitcher is more than half full, then your filtered water goes upwards through the filter spewing out as it goes the filter's sand-like... more info

Would think twice about buying it again. Size is frig friendly.
