Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 3-Stage Vertical Faucet Mount Chrome FM-3700B
Customer Review: An expensive way to get a cheap product
Summary: 2 Stars
I'd seen this unit advertised on television and purchased it about a year ago. It started falling apart almost immediately. The decorative cover on the bottom of the filter unit and the sleeve above the aerator came loose in the first two months. So it went from "chrome" finish to just plain ugly. At almost a year, the valve to divert the water can't close so water always flow from both the filter and the unfiltered tap. The three stage filters last a little less than a month before the water stops flowing through them altogether. I've just purchased a countertop unit which will be much cheaper to use.
If you do get this unit, be aware than the best price for filters can be had through Amazon if you get a six pack (a little less than $10 dollars per filter). If you purchase them through a local store, you might end up spending $12, $13, or more.
Customer Review: Another piece of junk by Pur

Like others, this is not my first Pur faucet-mount, but I thought this one would not crack like the others. WRONG! I have now completely given up on Pur: they all break far too quickly. Try a Brita water pitcher - that's what I now use.Customer Review: Appeal to P'R/Proctor & Gamble to fix your product
Summary: 2 Stars
I am on my fourth vertical P'R faucet, and my story is similar to the litany posted before me... unparalleled filter performance, but shoddy hardware. Our first one purchased years ago was white and nearly indestructible (until we wrecked it with a heavy saucepan). Every successive unit purchased, whether white or "chrome," has been a study in accelerated failure.
P'R/Proctor & Gamble:
Why not fix the problem? The filter's proven to be better than anyone else's -- so please fix the hardware, and customers will come flocking to your door!!!

You have got to be kidding me that their engineers think this thing could last more than a few days.....which is exactly what happened to mine. Installation was not a problem at all as I have done plumbing before.. chose the right adapter..put in the filter....snapped the unit on the faucet...* voilla * ....ran for 5 min as directed. Water had a nice taste to it...THEN ... on the second day as I was filling up my percolator it came flying off.. water flying everywhere...just what I needed at 6 am... took off the adapter and re-screwed it back on...put on Pur unit...water leaking everywheres....this happened twice more before I had enough....BACK IT GOES !!!!! .. I knew it wouldnt last..was so wobbly and lose that there is no way this thing could last. Oh well...guess I'll check out an under sink model...this is nonsense.Customer Review: Attractive and easy to install

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I already have a filtration system installed for my kitchen sink, and was looking for something less expensive we could use in a second, infrenquently used bathroom sink, so I wasn't too concerned about reviews that said it didn't stand up to conventional, daily wear and tear.
So far, so good, where the PUR 3-Stage Verticle Faucet Mount is concerned. Although it admittedly feels a bit flimsy compared to the older models (what doesn't these days?), it was literally a snap to install (it comes with various faucet adapters) and looks good. The water flow from the filter isn't as strong as I'd like, but we don't exactly have the best water pressure in our house to begin with. We also like the fact that it easily swings out of the way (or can easily detach altogether) when you need to use the sink for something else.
Of course, the taste is the real test and the filtered water tastes terrific. The unit filters out all the unpleasant stuff while leaving in the fluoride, which isn't always the case with these products.
