Title: Does the job
Product review: I couldn't decide between the Brita Slim Pitcher and the Pur Oval, so bought one of each. And that's not as frivolous as it sounds, because I wanted two anyway so there would always be a cold one ready in the fridge. Both of them seem to filter the water just fine. The Brita top stays on better, but the handle has sharper edges and is less comfortable to hold, especially when it's full. Although I've noticed the little black specks that others have objected to, in our case they stay in the top section and never end up in the glass, so they don't bother us. The Pur has a nicer, rounded handle, but if you're not careful the top has a tendency to fall off, dumping water all over the shelf. No worries, though, because if you just make sure to use two hands and hold the top securely, which is very easy to do, it stays where it belongs and all is well. So, bottom line, I would give maybe a slight edge to the Pur, but either one delivers good-tasting water with a minimum of fuss.
