The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other water filtration: replacement filters, under-sink and reverse osmosis systems, filter pitchers, water dispensers, coolers, faucet filters and softeners we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The PUR PPT700W uses activated carbon filtration, which is designed to reduce chlorine taste and odor along with certain organic compounds. PUR's activated carbon filters are a widely recognized product, and the brand has a long record in the consumer filtration space. The 1.65-liter capacity places this pitcher at the smaller end of the market, with a bottle-style container shape that makes it easy to handle and pour.
Dimensions are 11.3 by 4.5 by 10.1 inches, with the tall, narrow profile being consistent with a bottle container rather than a traditional wide pitcher. Weight is 1.8 pounds. The countertop install type means it can sit on a shelf or in the fridge, and the slim form factor fits most refrigerator doors comfortably.
The 4,300-review base and 4.5-star average are strong indicators of buyer satisfaction. That sample size is large enough to reflect consistent real-world performance rather than a temporary rating spike. PUR replacement filters are available widely in stores and online.

What buyers say
With more than 4,300 ratings and a 4.5-star average, buyer sentiment for the PPT700W is firmly positive. A review pool this size is reliable. PUR's broader user base tends to cite taste improvement as the main benefit, with occasional complaints about filter flow rate decreasing near end of life, which is typical for carbon pitchers generally.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I replace the PUR PPT700W filter?
PUR typically rates its pitcher filters at 40 gallons per cartridge. At typical household usage of 1 to 2 gallons of filtered water daily, that is roughly three to six weeks. The PPT700W includes a filter change indicator light that tracks usage and signals when replacement is due, removing the guesswork. For accurate replacement interval data, consult the current PUR product documentation.
What is the difference between the PPT700W and a larger PUR pitcher like the PPT111W?
The PPT700W holds 1.65 liters in a bottle-style container, while larger PUR pitchers hold more water per fill and use a traditional pitcher form factor. If you are a single user who refills frequently and values a slim fridge-door fit, the PPT700W is practical. If you want to fill once and have water available for multiple people throughout the day, a larger capacity model will reduce how often you need to refill.
