Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
In the box is the quite attractive unit, a filter, a user manual and 4 adapters. The manual, unusually clear and simple, has as the first step the selection of one of the 4 adapters that would fit your faucet. The next step is to attach the adapter to the faucet, being sure that the washer is in place. Next, the filter is to be installed into the unit by merely unscrewing the unit top and dropping the filter inside. The unit would then simply snap onto the adapter and, Voila! What could be simpler?
The Bad: None of the 4 adapters would attach to my Price Pfister faucet. This meant, of course, that I cannot use this item.
The Good: Being unable to use this item means that I do not have to apply for a reverse mortgage in order to purchase a replacement filter in three months. These filters remind me of printer ink cartridges. The printers are almost a giveaway because the manufacturers really want to burn you with the cartridge costs. Same with this inexpensive PUR unit with exhorbitant filter costs.
Customer Review: Almost perfect...

I'm on my second sink unit at the moment, and I wouldn't trade it for any other type or brand (not that I've really used that many other kinds, but still...). I went the Brita water pitcher route before and gave it up after not very much time. I'm not a huge fan of ice cold water, which is what you're going to get with one of those since they're generally kept in the refrigerator, and it gave the water a pretty gross taste of plastic. So, I decided to try the Pur filter out. I got the more upscale model the first try...I disrecall the exact model number. It was pretty much identical to this one, except it had a light to indicate where the filter was, instead of the slider thingo this model has. I had to replace that one after not much time, however, because it was really hard to install it onto the sink (my hands aren't that strong at the moment), and the screws got stripped out. It kept on leaking more and more water out through the seal that eventually almost no water went through the filter. So, I decided to replace it with this model. It screwed onto the sink much easier than the other one, for some reason, and it doesn't leak a single drop. The only reason I'm not giving this review 5 stars, in fact, is because my 1st Pur filter leaked so badly. I'm in love with this one, though, and wouldn't trade it for any other kind, especially the nasty plastic-tasting water you get from pitchers.Customer Review: Am returning this product!

I bought this product because a co-worker raved about it. She told me that it's the only filter that removes two potentially deadly toxins that are in our Los Angeles water. My husband installed the filter and let it run, as directed. After the installation, I wanted to test the water. However, there were small black things floating in the water. We let the faucet run again. I tried the water, and yet again there were black particles in the water. I don't know what those particles are, but I know there should be nothing floating in the water from a filter...and ESPECIALLY nothing black!!! So, I am returning this filter!Customer Review: An absolute necessity!

I've been using these filters for years and like them very much. I have no way of knowing how well it filters all the icky stuff listed on the package, but it makes my horrible tasting tap water taste great. I wouldn't think of making a cup of tea without it. It's easy to use and much easier, cheaper, and better for the environment than buying bottled water. I prefer the vertical filter to the horizontal one only because it's a little more obvious when the filter is engaged and when there's tap water coming from the faucet - no point in using filtered water to wash your hands. They don't last forever, I've had to replace mine every 2-4 years, but at this price, that's no hardship.
