The short version
A practical middle choice when you want an 11-cup pitcher and broad certified claims without targeting dissolved solids.
Choose the PUR PLUS 11-Cup when refrigerator space is narrow, you want slightly more capacity than a 10-cup pitcher, and its current certified claims match your tap-water concern. The shorter cartridge interval works best for owners who will actually keep replacements on hand.

What daily ownership looks like
The stay-tight lid, slim body, and LockFit filter design are meant to make refilling and pouring straightforward. The PUR PLUS cartridge requires a 15-minute soak and a 10-second rinse before installation, and the filter-change light should be reset after replacement.
Where it stops making sense
Avoid it if changing a cartridge roughly every two months will be forgotten, if dissolved-solids reduction is the goal, or if a larger dispenser would fit your household demand better.
Everyday benefits
One more cup of capacity
The 11-cup body offers a little more water than the two 10-cup options without becoming a large dispenser.
Certified lead-reduction option
The PPF951K performance data includes lead and other named reduction claims for covered PUR pitcher models.
Simple replacement cue
The filter-change light provides a visual reminder, even though the non-replaceable battery may eventually stop working.
Read the exact claim scope
The filter and pitcher combination matters.
The current PUR performance data covers PPT111 pitcher models with the PPF951K filter and identifies claims under NSF/ANSI standards 42, 53, and 401. Use the exact sheet for the substance that matters to your household.
The final letter identifies the color. Confirm that the package includes the PUR PLUS filter.
The slim 4.9-inch dimension can help with narrow refrigerator shelf space.
PUR also describes this as up to two months. Use and water conditions can shorten the interval.
Use the current performance document
PUR publishes a current performance sheet for the PPF951K filter and PPT111 pitcher family. The claim set includes lead and other named substances, but PUR states that the filter does not remove microbes.
