Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42633 Faucet Filtration System, Black/Chrome
Customer Review: ADAPTORS
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this item and have had only one problem with it. If your facet threads are inside then you have to use one of the provided plastic adaptors. I did but every time I turned on the water the unit fell off of the facet. I tried several times making sure that it was tight and it still did the same thing.
I contacted Brita.com and got a number to call (800-24-BRITA(27482)) and they sent a new set of special adaptors free of charge. It now works great. The problem that I see is; that this seems to be a known problem for which there is a free fix, so why are they still selling them with inferior adapters?
Customer Review: Absolute Garbage!
Summary: 1 Stars
What a waste of $30! The poor quality construction is beyond belief! Plastic screws just don't work and eventually leak, with water splattering all over... Save your money, this is garbage!Customer Review: Attachments don't work!!
Summary: 1 Stars
We just returned the third one of these filters. The filter itself may be good or not, we don't really know, because we couldn't use it at all. The attachments that come with the kit, to secure it to the faucet are defective, and pop out as soon as the water pressure gets up. We initially thought that we got a defective one, but after three attempts, well...
Don't they have a quality control before they let those units out of production?? Bottomline, if you have a faucet that will require you to use the attachments, don't even bother!.
Customer Review: Bad Dont Buy it
Summary: 1 Stars
Bad, Bad, Bad. To Start the piece that screws this product to your sink is plastic and because the threads are "fine" one twist to many and the entire thing is ruined. Plus even if you opt out for a steel one (purchased from your local hardware store) it wont help any because the threads inside the device are also plastic and its very likely damaged from the previous extra twist.
Horrible design, but good idea. I owned a simular device about 5 years ago and it was all aluminum.
Do yourself a favor and just get the pitcher instead.
Customer Review: Better than Pur
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used a Pur faucet filter before, and found it much more difficult to install, bulkier, and less reliable (it sprung leaks again and again). This Brita was no hassle to attach, once I managed to remove my faucet's aerator. The chrome look is attractive, and the water tastes great. I use this to make tea every day.
Others have complained about the filters not lasting as long as advertised. Yes and no. I've found that when the light turns amber, you can remove the cartridge, shake it, and then replace it to get several more weeks of green light. In other words, the problem isn't so much with the filters as with the feedback system. If you're using this for about a gallon of water per day, I'd expect each filter to last 3-4 months. Two replacement filters cost about as much as the system itself, so keep that in mind when you make the investment.
