Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42202 Ultra Faucet Filter, with Pitcher
Customer Review: Plastic is as plastic does
Summary: 2 Stars
As everyone else has been saying: great water and cheap plastic faucet mounting. You touch it to swing the faucet out of the way, it falls off. You bump it while washing dishes (inevitable) it falls off. What I don't understand is why Brita simply can't use a metal connector, which would solve the entire problem. Too cheap I guess. I'd rather pay an extra $10 - $20 and have the thing usable.Customer Review: The filter light stopped working after 1 month
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this filter for our kitchen sink. It was working perfectly and we were very happy with it- but then 1 month later the filter indicator light blinked red.{That is in indicator to change your filter.} We couldn't believe that- since it is supposed to last longer than 1 month.
A few days later- the indicator light completely stopped working.
I returned the item- and I am now looking into the PUR brand.
I don't know if the problem was with the indicator light itself- or with the actual filter. When the indicator light completely went out we didn't know if it was filtering the water properly.
I have heard good things about PUR- but I have no idea if their faucet filters would have the same problem or not.
Customer Review: Why this is the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this product because it has a little electric flashing light (the battery is in the filter) to tell you when the filter needs replacing. Now I don't have to try to remember when I replaced the filter last!! The water tastes great, too.Customer Review: Worked great for 3 months then started leaking badly
Summary: 1 Stars
Same experience here. I hoped this would work out for me, and it did- for three months. After the three months of perfect use, the crack above the Brita logo started leaking. the indicator light stopped working, and i could see the water streaming out above the area where you insert the filter replacement. We tried buying another filter, but that only worked for three days before the old problem returned. This makes me think the problem is a design flaw, especially since others have experienced the same problem. I guess you get what you pay for, and I'm planning to spring for a more heavy duty water filtration system instead of using one of these [inexpensive] screw-on ones.Customer Review: Worked great for 9 months, then suddenly started leaking
Summary: 1 Stars
My wife and I *loved* this faucet filter for the first nine months we had it. It was much more convenient than a Brita pitcher filter, and much faster to get a glass of water. The filter worked well, the dirty filter indicator was helpful, and the spray faucet setting was actually very useful for cleaning dishes. However, just last week, after nine months of enjoyment, the faucet filter started leaking. See the round neck on this thing that screws onto your faucet tap? Right underneath that, water just streams out. I should say that at least it isn't spraying water all over the kitchen, and the filter does *appear* to still function. But there doesn't seem to be any remedy to the leak, other than buying a replacement faucet filter! And you can bet that my new faucet filter will *not* be a Brita!
