Does the lid stay on when pouring water from it? The lid on my mom's current Brita pitcher (different model) keeps falling off.

It falls and falls same as your mom's. I'm just using it because I still have many filters, but I guess I could buy a different model that can use the same type of filters. This model is the cheapest. That why I bought it: wrong decision.

you have to put your hand on the lid while pouring otherwise yes it can fall off

The lid falls off constantly. Every time I use it, and it's really frustrating. The model was very poorly designed -- the plastic that is supposed to hold the lid in place is far too narrow, and there is nothing else to hold the lid in place.

No, the lid doesn't stay on. When tipping it past the midpoint, you have to hold the lid in place or the lid (and sometimes the filter insert as well) will come sliding away from the pitcher. Terrible design.

Yes, we've never had a problem with the lid falling off. If you try to pour with a full unfiltered reservoir then it might be a different story (unless you physically hold the lid down), but otherwise it's always stayed on perfectly.

The lid stays on when I pour. I like that it is small and use it daily to fill my Keurig coffee maker.

take the lid off before draining for safety.....the pour spout is there so the contents don't splash. the lid is not intended to stay on when pouring.

Yes ~ there is a tab inside the lid to prevent its falling while pouring .....................

I discovered the pitcher was not faulty. I filled the pitcher and some water went into the handle. All is well and I love the brita pitcher. Thank you for your follow up.

No- it doesn't leak! It's really a great pitcher. I wasn't sure about it but bought about a month ago and really like it.

The lid doesn't lock down, but I have not had a problem with it popping off.

We have had no problems at all with our Bria pitcher, including the lid staying on. I highly recommend this product.

Yes the lid comes off. The edges are all smooth and don't stick out. The screen itself is slightly below a plastic lip, but I don't think would impede anything.

The lid stays very well, we've never had it fly off. It keeps rain water out too.

Keep turning the lid counter clockwise and it will come off. It has a little resistance to show when in the open to drink position. You just turn past it and the lid comes odd.

As long as you push the lid into groove, it stays on very tight. I am very pleased with mine. I got them about 6-7 months and had no problem.

No, the lid is not secure at all! It is not snug. I've dropped it many times. Very annoying.

The lid comes completely off. It snaps on, but sometimes it's hard to get it to let loose.

The filter drops into the reservoir when it's turned in the proper direction...very easy to do! I have had a few Brita pitchers and there has never been a problem with the filters coming out.

The key is how angled the kettle is when you're pouring. If the kettle is rather full, so that you don't have to angle it much to pour water out, then you don't have to hold the lid. When you angle the kettle more sharply, like maybe 70 degrees or more (this is approximate guess), then you have to put a finger on the lid or it will fall off. Most of the time, I don't have to angle the kettle that much to pour from it, so that I don't have to put my finger on the lid.

The lid of this pitcher is attached with a very small, and in my opinion, inadequate joint. It broke (quite predictably) when I was washing the pitcher. I did not buy another one. So I would suggest stirring the contents with a large spoon. Shaking will possibly break the lid and the product is anyway by no means leak proof if you do! It's a shame that the joint is so fragile, or it would be a very good pitcher.

It does not snap on and could fall off is dripped. It does fit snugly but can be lifted with just the weight of the container being sufficient to lift the lid off.
