Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount Gray FM-9100B
Customer Review: The leaks are getting annoying...
Summary: 2 Stars
We actually started with the vertical faucet fixture five years back (which lasted all this while), and have bought another two of the horizontal mounts since Costco stopped carrying the vertical ones. The first horizontal one lasted about 2.5 years, but started leaking about a year after the purchase due to repeated twisting of the cap for filter replacement due to filter usage. The glue holding the chrome plastic housing got weaker and weaker it seemed.
We replaced it with another horizontal mounnt about 6 months ago and the construction of the faucet mount is noticeably cheaper. With just two filter replacements, it's started to leak really bad when the filter is turned on, making collecting filtered water a hassle, not mention all that wasted water.
We love the filter, and the convenience of the faucet mount, but I'm finally sick of the wasted water and cut skin (when replacing filters) that unfortunately, we won't be buying another horizontal faucet mounted filter by PUR for the forseeable future. I may consider the vertical mount, but if the materials used has taken a nosedive as well... I guess it's Brita's jug filters until we finally buy a house and have permanent filters installed.
Customer Review: The water tastes better
Summary: 3 Stars
Just so you know, this filter isn't stainless steel, it's brushed plastic that looks like stainless steel. When I installed it the unit's adapter leaked constantly and I couldn't tighten it up enough to stop it. I returned it after that and exchanged it for the same model in "chrome" which is a few dollars cheaper but otherwise exactly the same unit. It still leaks a bit but my water tastes better now and doesn't have as much of a chlorine smell as it used to. There's still a trace of piped water taste but at least I feel better about drinking it knowing that most of the contaminants are filtered out. It's a great idea for temporary installations but is not as good as an undersink water filter. It's a little bulky for the faucet so it interferes with dishwashing and I miss my swivelling aerator which can't be attatched now. An undersink filter with spigot would serve much better for long term installations. All in all it's good for the price and the electronic filter life indicator is pretty neat! It's done wonders for my local water which is not great to begin with.Customer Review: This is not stainless steel; it's plastic.
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this item to replace my stainless steel one that started leaking after 6 months. My husband ordered this because it says stainless steel, but it is really plastic made to sort of look like stainless steel. The one click attachment is nice, and it hasn't leaked yet. But I'm giving it 2 stars because it is plastic when we thought we were getting stainless steel.Customer Review: Too heavy for faucet
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this model Pur filter because it looked sturdier than the regular plastic faucet mounts Pur makes. But this particular mount is very heavy for an average kitchen faucet that it pulls the mechanism down too much. The slightest adjustment to the filter itself (even when you change the cartridge) can cause the threads of the filter to become stripped. Unless you have a real sturdy, high quality faucet, I wouldn't recommend this model. With that said, I probably wouldn't even chance it with an expensive kitchen unit for risk of damage to your kitchen faucet.Customer Review: Totally dysfunctional
Summary: 1 Stars
The new PUR click-on device won't stay on the faucet, rendering it totally useless. My faucet has threads on the outside and the attachment used to secure the device to the faucet blows off as soon as you turn on the water. It may work with faucets with threads on the inside, but all I know is it won't stay on my faucet. PUR is aware of this problem and the company promptly sent me what they said was a newer model free of charge. However, it app[eared to be identical to the the one it replaced and has the identical problem. Now I have two PUR faucet systems PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount Stainless Steel FM-9100B I can't use. I gave it a one-star rating, but it really deserves a zero.
