Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I use Brita water filters so my comparisons will be to that product. There are two things I dislike about Brita filters- one, you must presoak them and two, carbon from the filter seeps out into the filtered water. It is very upsetting to see. When I first read about the Mavea Universal Fit filters which require no presoaking and use a micro screen to keep carbon from leaking out of the filter into the filtered water, I was ecstatic. When I read further that they are substantially cheaper than Brita filters I was over the moon.
Now, it's reality time- putting the Mavea filter through its paces. Not having to presoak was wonderful and I did not see any carbon in the filtered water. So far so good. However, it is recommended that the Mavea filters be prewashed with two pitchers of water which is a bit of a nuisance. You have to get into Mavea's fine print to find out about this. The same thing must be done with Brita filters. Next up is Mavea's claim that their filters are dramatically cheaper than Britar's. Well.......yes and no. If you're buying a small number of Brita filters (one or two), there is quite a price difference. However, Brita sells their filters in small and large packages. If you compare the price of a Mavea filter to the cost of one or two Brita filters, you're going to have some pretty dramatic savings from buying the two pack Mavea. However, if you buy Brita in three-packs or greater, the price difference between Brita and Mavea disappears.
With the price difference really nil,, I would buy the Mavea filters because they don't have to be presoaked and because I didn't get the ugly black carbon residue in my filtered water. They seem to perform just as well as the Britas in all other respects.
Also to Mavea's credit (was probably government mandated as these filters come from Europe) is their total recycle program. So nothing goes into a landfill. If you'd like to show a bit of your green side, Mavea would be the way to go.
