Aesthetically similar to a true Brita and substantially cheaper this carafe fits perfectly in the fridge door. Certainly there is no "counter" e, but a notched wheel for indicating the month to which the cartridge - which exists in versions 30 and 60 days - will be changed, and this enough for me. In fact, no battery to change and no unnecessary electronics and / or fragile. However, a year later, plastics tend to deform and items not as simbriquent easily into each other after cleaning. So it's not to last: shame!
