We're loving this filtration unit. I used to practically never drink plain water. But, I love the clean water we get from our AquaTru & mostly drink water now. Even our coffee and tea taste better.
My experience with the Carafe model has been excellent so far. It does exactly what it says it does. I don't have scienmagific equipment that can tell you how well the remineralization filter works but the water tastes pretty good to me. I have seen people say it doesn't have a long life span, breaking after a year or two, but I would really like to know if they've been following the maintenance instructions. The Carafe comes with very clear maintenance instructions and I could see the machine malfunctioning if someone is too lazy to do them. You could definitely do a lot worse than this for a water purifier.
