I'll have to wait a while to see if this one holds up. The one that came with the device cracked after less than 2 months' use. I hope this one lasts longer!
We love this filter. It is so easy to use and doesn't take up a ton of counter space. I love the option of taking it with us when we travel. We have had this for about 60 days and so far it has exceeded our expectations. I would definitely buy again and recommend to friends.
The whole unit was poorly manufactured. The water reservoir does not fit correctly into the unit and consequently the top doesn't close properly. I have to put a weight on the lid to make the unit work. The vibration of the machine causes the carafe to edge out of position and the unit stops working. I have to place a weight against the handle to keep it in place.
“Glass” is not real glass. The system wastes a ton of water - like a quart of waste for every two quarts of RO water. And the pitcher is not a closed unit so storage in the fridge is like putting a glass of water in the fridge. I really regret this purchase.
The filter works well, but the water storage container is too small. It should come with two containers so it’s more convenient—one could stay in the refrigerator while the other remains on the filter. This would make it much easier to always have cold, filtered water available.
We have had great experiences with AquaTru in our home and the homes of family members, but the unit we bought for our son does not have a secure fit between the unfiltered water tank and the base. The tank is skewed to one side, preventing the lid from closing over the tank. With several tries, it can eventually be moved into place to allow the lid to close. This inconvenience has put a damper on our enthusiasm for a great product.
