Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42633 Faucet Filtration System, Black/Chrome
Customer Review: Cheap Construction
Summary: 1 Stars
They really need to use metal adapters and threads on the unit. After a couple uses, I would turn on the filter and the whole thing would fall right off the faucet. I guess I have high water pressure because the plastic threads were striped. No...I did not tighten it with a wrench. I went through 2 units before I gave up and bought a Pur system. Pur uses metal.
Followup. I just got an e-mail from Brita. They were shocked this happened and said they would not expect something like that to happen. Then they said the would send me metal adapters. What? If you are so shocked and this is unexpected...why do you have metal replacement adapters to send out? This sounds like a known issue to me, and they only send metal adapters if you complain.
So...I got the Pur filter and was not happy with the taste. I researched here and decided to try Culligan. Wow, what a difference. Less expensive, superior quality and taste. Check out Culligan.
Customer Review: Cheap is what cheap does.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a cheaply made piece of dung. It looks chrome and nice, but it's plastic. The treads that connect it to the facet are so soft and cheap, it only takes a couple times coming off (and it will repeatedly) before the assembly is rendered completely useless.
DO NOT BUY.
Customer Review: Could Not Install Onto Faucet
Summary: 1 Stars
Could not install filter system onto faucet using adapters provided. As soon as you turn on the water, the pressure would blow the whole unit off splashing water everywhere.Customer Review: Created with flimsy plastic materials
Summary: 2 Stars
The brita filter functions well - it filters the water and it tastes better than your regular tap water. However it comes with flimsy plastic accessories. If you screw it even a little bit tight it "snaps" past the groove and becomes completely loose. You can also easily knock it off the faucet while washing dishes if the dish or your hand bumps into it. I kept screwing it back on but eventually got tired of it. If you want a filter - buy one that does not have plastic screws.
Definitely would not buy this item again.
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE
Summary: 1 Stars
I see a lot of previous reviews from other people who got sucked into this product. It's the biggest waste of $30 I have ever spent. It leaks, sprays water all over my kitchen, and if I, heaven forbid, turn the water on past low, it will just fall off. I know the initial assumption is "operator error", but I assure you, as an engineer who works for a consumer products company, I have installed the thing correctly. I have the most standard faucet you could find, and it leaks everywhere. When I contacted Brita about the poor quality of their product, they ignored me and never responded. And you better hope you never have to move. I am moving right now, and the little plastic adapter literally disintegrated in the faucet head and is stuck there. When I tried to remove it, the plastic just kept snapping off until now it is embedded into the faucet, which will probably now need to be replaced because of it. DO NOT BUY BRITA and DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS PRODUCT!
