Our take
PUR PLUS PPT111 is the most feature-complete fit in this first group for a household that wants a larger pitcher, dishwasher-safe cleaning, and a light that signals filter changes. The manufacturer identifies the 11-cup family and documents lead and microplastics reduction for its PLUS filter; its performance sheet also lists the reduction claims associated with NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401. The routine is straightforward but not maintenance-free: change the filter at 40 gallons or up to two months, and remember that the indicator has a sealed battery that eventually stops working. The historic Amazon parent and suffix remain unverified.
Consider the documented PPT111 family if you want a larger pitcher, a lead-reduction claim, an integrated change light, and dishwasher-safe cleaning..
It is not a fit if you need a confirmed match to the historic PPT111WAMA Amazon parent, a filter that lasts beyond the 40-gallon or two-month guidance, or a system for microbiologically unsafe water. Its light is not a water test.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- PUR lists an 11-cup capacity, dimensions, dishwasher-safe parts, and a stay-tight lid that allows pouring while water is filtering.
- The current PLUS page documents lead and microplastics claims, while the PPF951K performance sheet lists specific reductions across Standards 42, 53, and 401.
- A filter-change light is built in, and the manufacturer gives a simple 40-gallon or up-to-two-month replacement target.
What to weigh up
- The filter's replacement target is not open-ended: it is up to 40 gallons or two months, depending on use.
- PUR says the filter-change light contains a sealed, non-replaceable battery that will eventually stop working.
- The historic row's Amazon parent, PPT111WAMA suffix, color, and package are not independently mapped to the current manufacturer family.

Full review: how the features affect your choice
What the features mean for you
The documented PPT111 family and the older listing are separate questions
PUR's current page names the PLUS 11-cup family and lists white PPT111W, smoke PPT111B, and sage PPT111M versions. It describes one PUR PLUS pitcher filter in the box. The historical source row uses a PPT111WAMA hint, but the saved research did not establish an exact match between that suffix, its old Amazon parent, and today's family listing. The review therefore evaluates the documented PPT111 family while preserving the old listing's identity and package gap. Use the model-specific Amazon search, then compare the actual box label before ordering.
What the PLUS filter claims cover
PUR says the PPF951K PLUS filter is certified by IAPMO R&T to reduce lead and microplastics. Its performance data sheet lists individual reductions for chlorine taste and odor, lead, mercury, copper, cadmium, and other substances under NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401. Those standards apply to the listed claims and testing conditions, not to every substance someone might worry about. PUR also says pitcher filters do not filter microbes and are not intended to purify water, so treat the specification as a defined claim set rather than a universal water-safety solution.
The filter schedule is clear, but the reminder has a lifespan
PUR rates the PLUS filter for up to 40 gallons or two months, whichever comes first under the maker's guidance. The pitcher light makes it easier to notice a change point, but PUR's support page explains that the light contains a sealed battery that cannot be replaced. It can eventually stop working while the pitcher remains usable; owners must then follow the filter schedule themselves. This is more convenient than checking a handheld meter, although it does not measure contaminants or verify performance.
Capacity, dimensions, and cleanup
PUR lists 11 cups and dimensions of 11.4 inches wide, 10.4 inches high, and 4.9 inches long. Those labeled dimensions make it easier to compare with a refrigerator shelf than an un-oriented dimension string, but you should still account for room to remove the lid and fill the reservoir. The page describes a stay-tight lid, a slim shape, and dishwasher-safe pitcher care. It also says pouring can continue while water is filtering, which suits people who do not want to wait for every reservoir to drain.
Who should shortlist this configuration
PPT111 is a plausible fit when lead and microplastics claims matter, you prefer a change light over a handheld meter, and you want to put pitcher parts in a dishwasher. Compared with the two other products in this group, it documents the largest capacity and the clearest labeled dimensions. The trade-off is a routine that requires filter changes within its stated volume or interval and an indicator that will not last indefinitely. The linked Amazon page is a model search, not a verified exact-ASIN offer, so confirm the family and package before purchase.
