PUR XL 44-Cup Water Filter Dispenser
Score: 70/100
Brita UltraMax White
Score: 74/100Rankings
The Brita UltraMax Large Water Dispenser with BritaPlus Filter offers a massive 27-cup capacity and slim design, making it ideal for high-volume households and offices. It effectively reduces chlorine and heavy metals, though the plastic construction feels less durable than premium alternatives. It is best suited for users who prioritize volume and fridge compatibility over premium build quality.
The PUR XL 44-Cup Water Filter Dispenser is a high-capacity, non-electric filtration system designed to reduce chlorine and heavy metals. While it offers a large volume and NSF certification, it lacks the purity of RO systems and requires frequent filter changes. It is best suited for households seeking basic filtration without the need for electricity or complex installation.
