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.

Overview
["The Brita 120924 replaces the plastic pitcher form with a borosilicate glass body, a material known for resistance to thermal shock and long-term durability. It holds 2.4 liters and uses activated carbon filtration, the same core technology found across Brita's broader range. At $94.99, it is among the most expensive pitchers Brita sells under this category.", 'Physically the unit is 5.43 x 7.6 x 10.91 inches and a light 0.83 pounds empty, which is impressively light for a glass vessel. The freestanding design fits on a counter or in a fridge. No third-party certification is listed in the available product data, which is somewhat unusual for a premium-priced product.', 'With 4,300 reviews averaging 4.4 stars, the buyer record here is substantial and consistently positive. Shoppers pay the premium primarily for the glass material rather than for a fundamentally different filtration technology. Replacement filters are Brita-standard, meaning they are easy to find in stores and online.']

Performance notes
The Brita 120924 uses activated carbon filtration, designed to reduce chlorine taste and odor and may help reduce certain organic compounds. The 2.4-liter capacity is a practical everyday size for a small household. No NSF or equivalent certification is listed in the product data. The main performance differentiator versus a standard Brita is the glass vessel, which eliminates plastic contact and is easy to clean thoroughly.
What buyers say
The 4.4-star average across 4,300 reviews represents one of the stronger feedback profiles in the glass pitcher segment. Buyers consistently rate it well, indicating the glass body meets expectations for durability and aesthetics. The price point does filter the audience to buyers who have specifically chosen glass over plastic.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Brita 120924 cost so much more than a standard Brita pitcher?
The price difference is almost entirely due to the borosilicate glass body. Glass pitchers cost more to manufacture than plastic ones and appeal to buyers who want to avoid plastic contact with their drinking water. The filtration technology is similar to Brita's standard activated carbon approach, so you are paying for the material, not a fundamentally different filter.
What filters are compatible with the Brita 120924?
The 120924 uses Brita's standard replacement filter line, making filter sourcing straightforward at grocery stores, big-box retailers, and online. Always confirm the specific compatible filter model number on Brita's website, as Brita sells multiple filter types with different contaminant reduction profiles.
Is borosilicate glass safe to put in the refrigerator?
Borosilicate glass is specifically designed to tolerate temperature changes better than standard glass, which makes it suitable for moving between room temperature and a cold refrigerator. However, it can still break if dropped or knocked against a hard surface, so handle it carefully. Check the product's current care instructions for specific guidance on temperature limits.
