THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The PUR Classic CR-1100C is an 11-cup pitcher with unusually clear manufacturer specifications: model number, dimensions, included filter count on the current offer, a filter-change light, and dishwasher-safe care. The standard PPF900Z cartridge has a 40-gallon or up-to-two-month interval and documented chlorine taste and odor performance. It is distinct from the PUR PLUS PPF951K lead-reducing filter. The historical candidate names CR1100C, but its old ASIN, color, and exact box remain unverified.

Consider it for

Consider CR-1100C if an 11-cup family size, simple light reminder, and dishwasher-safe pitcher body fit your routine..

Look elsewhere if

Do not select the standard-filter CR-1100C when a documented lead-reduction claim is required. Confirm the replacement-filter code rather than assuming that every PUR cartridge has the PLUS claims.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • PUR matches CR-1100C to an 11-cup pitcher and gives the body's dimensions.
  • The current product page lists a filter-change light and dishwasher-safe care.
  • PPF900Z has a defined 40-gallon or up-to-two-month replacement target.

What to weigh up

  • The standard filter is not the PPF951K lead-reducing PLUS filter.
  • The old Amazon parent and its color or bundle are not fully verified.
  • PUR says its pitcher filters do not filter microbes.

Full review: how the features affect your choice

What the features mean for you

Use the exact CR-1100C model

PUR's current product page identifies its Classic eleven-cup pitcher as SKU CR-1100C. The source title at row 252 uses CR1100C without punctuation, which is a strong model match, while the older adjacent rows use a different suffix or combine the pitcher with a replacement-filter phrase. This profile uses the CR-1100C model page, but it does not assume that every related historical package had the same color or contents.

Know which PUR filter is being discussed

The standard CR-1100C product page includes a pitcher filter, while PUR identifies PPF900Z as its standard replacement cartridge. Its performance sheet lists chlorine taste and odor plus named substances such as mercury, copper, and zinc. The PPF900Z column does not certify lead reduction; PUR's separate PPF951K PLUS filter carries that claim. Do not transfer the Plus filter's lead data to a standard CR-1100C package.

Use the capacity and dimensions for planning

PUR lists eleven cups and dimensions of 9.9 by 10.3 by 6.6 inches for the current CR-1100C. This gives a more concrete refrigerator-fit check than the old title alone. The stated capacity remains a product-family specification and does not establish the exact old listing's package. Compare the width and height with a shelf, and allow room above the pitcher to lift it out and fill the reservoir without awkward handling.

Keep maintenance routine simple

PUR says to replace the standard filter every 40 gallons or up to two months and provides a light on the pitcher. The reminder is useful for a household that prefers a visible cue, but it does not test the water or identify a contaminant. The manufacturer also says the indicator has a sealed battery that eventually stops working; the pitcher itself remains usable, and the filter schedule still needs to be followed.

Choose CR-1100C for its documented trade-offs

This model suits shoppers who want a larger stated capacity, dishwasher-safe pitcher care, and a visible filter reminder. Its standard cartridge is a chlorine taste and odor option, not a substitute for a system with a required lead claim. Use a model search because the current page does not prove the old Amazon parent or its exact variant. Before buying, make sure the listing is a complete pitcher and identify whether it supplies PPF900Z or a different cartridge.
