If you want the widely used 10-cup fridge pitcher with a locking lid, get the Brita Large 10-Cup water filter pitcher in Bright White; if you want an 11-cup pitcher that is dishwasher safe and tells you when to change the filter, get the PUR 11-Cup water pitcher in White. The Brita holds 10 cups, is BPA-free, is listed as WQA and NSF/ANSI certified, and its listing states it reduces chlorine taste and odor plus mercury, copper, zinc and cadmium, with the included Standard filter rated for 40 gallons or about 2 months. The PUR holds 11 cups, is dishwasher safe, has a stay-tight lid and a filter-change light indicator with a LockFit cap design, and its listing states the genuine PUR filter is NSF certified and rated for up to 40 gallons or 2 months. On 09/13/2026 both exact-variant Amazon US pages showed a variant-block qualified buybox shipped from and sold by Amazon.com with quantity selector, Add to cart and Buy Now, while both price blocks read “No featured offers available,” so neither price is stated here — check the live pages for the current figures.
Choose by your situation
| Situation | Model to consider | Main tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| You want the established everyday pitcher with the largest base of buyer ratings and a locking easy-fill lid for fridge shelves | Brita 10-cup pitcher | Holds one cup less than the PUR, and the observed Brita page makes no dishwasher-safe claim for the pitcher while PUR states it explicitly. |
| You want dishwasher-safe cleanup, a change-light reminder, and a lid that stays tight so you can filter and pour at the same time | PUR 11-cup pitcher | Far smaller ratings base on the observed page, and one variant-block row read “Only 1 left in stock (more on the way)” at observation, so confirm live availability before deciding. |
