This is one of the smaller Brita pitchers. Every morning, after water for the cat, the dog, and my pills, it needs a refill. The great part is, no need to remove the top to add water. A small section of the lid tilts up for refills. No fingerprints, no smudges, no problems. It is small enough to fit anywhere in the refrigerator, door or shelf. Who cares about continuous refills is you don't have to remove the lid and then clean the mess.Also a really easy to use calendar to keep track of 8 weeks between filter changes.
