Rank #3 in Best Water Filter Jug 2026: 10 Ranked by Cost Per Litre
Philips Water Filter Jug with 4 Taste+ Cartridges, 2.6L
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips jug is the one with a digital timer, and that is its practical argument: the listing names a digital timer alongside a 2.6 litre capacity, four Taste+ filter cartridges, a fast flow rate and a 1 kilogram body, under model number AWP2933WHT4/10, in white plastic.
A timer matters more than it sounds, because a filter is only doing its job until the cartridge is spent and most people lose track of the weeks. Having the jug tell you is the difference between filtering and hoping. At the time of collection it carried 7,551 ratings at 4.4 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Here are the plusses: high quality jug made of quality plastic. I like the timer on the top lid too. Easy to clean and easy to install new cartridges.Negatives: unless you have your thumb on the top of the handle (where the lid meets the handle) when you pour, the lid has a tendency to fall off. I see this as a significant design flaw. The lid does not clip into place, as it should, and just rests on the top. The other design flaw is the hinged flap on the lid where you pour in the water from the tap. You have to manually flip this flap up, rather than being able to open this from a switch on the handle, as I have experienced with other jug designs.Those criticisms aside, it’s still a good deal for a jug as it includes 4 filters.Update: May 26I have been using the jug for nearly a month now and I have changed my mind on my initial criticisms. I have also upgraded the star rating from 3 to 5 stars. I have totally got used to putting my thumb in the handle. And the way you fill it up by flipping the hinged lid thing, is actually a good thing because it means you can get more water in there. So, my initial concerns have all gone. The quality of the jug really stands out too. It still looks brand new a month in. And the other thing I didn’t mention initially was that the filtered water tastes wonderful! And much better than any previous jugs I have used.”
Verified purchase“Great product. It ready does help with purifying the water. I had an issue with tap water taste and this product sorted. I can happily recommend.”
