Differences between Brita pitcher and Mavea pitcher
1362977
Doing research, and it appears the Mavea has a flip-top spout cover. I believe I am going to go with the Mavea specifically because there is a cover for the spout as opposed to being open on the Brita. I don't want refrigerator aromas entering the pitcher. The filtering process seems to be comparable from a novice point of view. And, the Brita is 10 cup compared to the Mavea. 1 cup not that big of a deal. There is a coupon available. The Mavea comes out about $5 higher in price. Living in a desert environment, plenty of dust gets inside, no matter what you do. That's another reason for the spout cover for us. JMHO.

Not much difference in the two. Both use a carbon type filter. Brita is made by the Swiss and Mavea is made by the Germans - both known for good products and engineers. Mavea is the newer product for the States, I think.

Hi Mary. I really don't know but here's a phone no. for U. 1 800 24 BRITA. 9 to 5, EST. Good luck. Regarding taste, I don't discern any difference. Good Luck.

Hi. the difference is that the 1575 model has the diamond shape pitcher. I don't think that there is much difference with the wattage. thanks

I have only had the pitcher for a week now. When I spoke to the rep on the phone, she said that with my water reading (498) being at the high side of the spectrum, my filter will probably last about 10 gallons. That's about 10 refills of the pitcher with the 10 cup unit. I started using the Brita pitcher I was going to retire due to a crack, as a pre-filter setup. The water from the Brita reads about 208 on average so that should make the Zero last twice as long. I can't say how long your filter will last but based on my experience and the fact that I only use the Zero to fill our coffeemaker and I am keeping the Brita for drinking water.

I saw someone ask the same question under the Marella Kompakt item (Customer Questions & Answers) , he said:" I use the MAVEA 1001122 Maxtra Replacement Filters. ASIN: B002T2MS1Q Item model number: 1001277 I order them in the 3 packs. They work perfectly."MAVEA 1009490 Marella Kompakt 5-Cup Water Filtration Pitcher, Blue

I agree with woodworks46. The cost for a new pitcher is not that much compared to the filters since you to have to change the filters once a while in the future, but it worth it! Buy a new pitcher if you can afford it. Hope it helps.

Nothing from my research. Both appear to have the same features. Only notable differences would be aesthetics such as colors on the plastic

I can't tell you what the differences are as I am not acquainted with those models. However I love the one I have. It has plenty of power and is very user friendly. Switches easily for different cleaning needs. I have no regrets with this vacuum.

As far as I know, there are 3 types of Brita replacement filters - (1) For on-tap faucet; (2) For pitcher; (3) For soft squeeze water bottle. Their form/shape are very different. For your Grand Brita, (2) is what you need - that is what I have been buying for my pitcher too.

No difference, it's usually just because they are offered from different sellers, that the description can vary. Same product with brown lid. Be wary, though. I bought this "microwave safe" tumbler and used it and after only a week it built up a nasty film on it. I talked to Tervis the company and they were NOT interested in guaranteeing their product. They said it was my water. I know it's not the water, because the three other Tervis cups I own have no film. Now, months later, the cup is disgusting and brown stained. My husband uses it only in the yard. Be wary. The stain never came off this cup. No one would refund me, either. Very bad.

I don't think there is any difference there. But my suggestin don't buy either. Better buy 798H secura. It's way better plus it's self cleaning. I got 997MC and I am tired of cleaning Regret regret and regret that I got it.

The Apec RO-90 has a much higher flow rate. I can fill a pitcher of water in seconds not minutes. For me it was well worth the extra cost. I had a$1,500 Kenetico system before buying the RO-90. The RO-90 is much better. Water quality is running about 20tds and tastes great.

Same filters! Brita uses a standard filter so you're all set! Also the Brita Max is the single best thing in my kitchen - so much easier to fill and use than the pitchers.

It is easier to drink from this bottle as opposed to the other (soft-sided) one that Brita has. It works like a straw. I really like this bottle so far. Very few leaks and easy to use.

I do not know and it's not like most pitchers..it looks like the others and it's not comparable with the Brita I own. I still have em in my drawer

Hi, the only difference I see is cosmetic finish of the base and the shape of the blender jar. All beehives have round jars except this model. I'm a typical guy who drinks his smoothies straight out of the jar and find the square jar to be less messy :)
