"I like it!"
What's with all the negativity in the reviews? I own my chrome Pur faucet mount for over 3 month now and totally happy with it. It looks good, works well and the water's taste is to every one's satisfaction. As to bad reviews - there is always a chance of the flaws even with the best products, i just believe that happy customers are too busy enjoying their lives to write reviews! I was looking for something else on Amazon and came to this page by chance - decided to say something about the water filter i own to give other people another perspective.

"Buy a different filter"
I've owned other PUR filters and they've worked well. This one is not one of them. The company redesigned the faucet mount in this version which dumps the water out the bottom and then back along the horizontal faucet mount. So after spending money to get filtered water, you now need to wash the faucet mount to keep the water clean since the hole that the water comes out of no longer has the penny's worth of plastic to keep it from running back along the housing. This one is in our office and I regret buying it. Buy the one that has the slider instead of the one with the fancy indicator light and you'll avoid this problem.

"Satisfied"
I am surprised at the negative reviews as my filter has worked excellently from the time I put it into service two years ago. I especially like the feature that indicates when the filter cartridge needs to be replaced. The PUR unit definitely improves the taste of the water, removing the chlorine taste and leaving a freshness not only to drinking water but also to water used in cooking. Pasta, especially, tastes much better made with filtered water. If removal of heavy metals, such as chromium, is not an issue in your area (the PUR filter does not remove these substances) then this is a less expensive by far alternative to a reverse osmosis filter and produces water as clean and clear as 99% of bottled drinking water and will save you lots of money.

"Look elsewhere"
After 3 months the filter starts to leak water from every seam (not at the gasket where the front screws off but the seams where it is put together). The manufacturer, Procter & Gamble, is evidently aware that this is a problem because when I called in last year (after owning it for 3 months) they replaced the unit as soon as I described the problem. After using the replacement for about 3 1/2 months, it started exhibiting the same problem and the leaking gets worse each month. I have owned much cheaper Brita filters that never had such problems and I now wish I had never given PUR a chance.

"dont buy"
before the very first filter ever even finished, it started to crack all over... cheap product
