Cheap filter and non-ergonomic handle make this mediocre

I think this will get the job done, but the plastic and filter portion of the filter in the middle is really cheap plastic and I can't imagine it holding up very long.
I have a different pitcher with a stainless steel filter and it fits nicely, but this one just loosely floats around in the pitcher without being fixed and feels like it wasn't really designed to fit with the pitcher.
There is a warning on the box to not use hot liquids which makes me a little concerned about chemicals that may come off into the drink. It is advertised as a cold brew pitcher, so that may not be a concerned, but if you want some hot tea or something and then want to store it in the fridge with the pitcher, you would want to wait for it to cool.
The compact size fits well in the fridge, but the handle is awkwardly close to the pitcher body so that if I hold it normally, my knuckles are making contact with it, so it is not comfortable to pour.
The lid seems like it would pop off, but, despite being pretty rectangular, it twists off. It seems to hold pretty snugly, but after rinsing it out and starting some cold brew hibiscus tea, I didn't want to try holding it upside down to see how well it holds water.
The lid has a little locking mechanism to prevent it from opening that you slide. When it's unlocked and you press down to open it, it stays up until you manually push it back down, so you could consider that either helpful or annoying, depending on your preference.
Because the filter inside is so flimsy and doesn't lock in to the pitcher or the lid and the plastic not spring hot liquids, I can't say I recommend this. I think you are better off finding one made with tempered glass and stainless steel.
If you don't really care about the filter and just want a plastic pitcher because you have children or are otherwise concerned with a glass one breaking, I think this one could work well for you.
