Inches:
Base: (oval) 8.5 x 5.75 (the handle adds about 1.5 to the overall legnth, for a "total unit legnth" of about 10".)
Height: 10.75
Metric (just converted from the above measurements):
Base: 21.6cm x 14.6cm (+ 3.8cm for handle, totalling 25.4cm)
Height: 27.3cm
In short, it is rather large as pitchers go and does take up a bit of fridge space.
Something else that is hardly ever mentioned is that the filters are not intended to be used with hot water. The manual indicates a maximum temperature of 82F/28C. I believe this is typical of drinking water filters (I know there was a similar maximum on the faucet-mount I used to have), I'm just putting that out here for general information.
It does take a while for the water to work its way through the filter. To me that's to be expected, the water is just draining through the filter with no real pressure to push it. I suppose some people might grow impatient with that.
To me it is a rather attractive unit. My sister even commented on how "nice" it was when she saw it. The lid includes a hinged cover over the spout (it just opens itself when you pour), that's a nice little touch.
Overall I'm happy with it. It's an alternative for those of us who like filtered water and don't want to use the various mounted units for whatever reason.
