We recently upgraded to the under the counter model. It is great! It has freed up some much needed counter space and delivers more clean water faster. It is also easier to access. Since I had a new faucet installed, I had the plumber install this at the same time. He was done so quickly I did not know he had even started. I just hope that changing the filters will be as easy as the countertop model.
Pros: Clean taste, Durable, Easy to clean, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
I live in an area where we cannot / should not drink water out of the tap. It is wonderful to be able to now have filtered water from my sink. I no longer need to carry water into my home!
I PURCHASED THIS FOR A WEEKEND PLACE WE USE IN WISCONSIN THAT HAS WELL WATER. I WANTED FILTERED WATER SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO CARRY WATER FROM HOME TO MAKE COFFEE. PRODUCT WAS EASY TO INSTALL. IT HAS VERY LOW WATER PRESSURE, TAKES OVER A 2 MINUTES TO FILL THE COFFEE POT.
Don't get the reviews of people finding installation to be dificult.It was very simple, too simple. The print on the instructions are rather small. could be more clear. Water flow is slow but good and steady. Water taste great. and the brushed nickel faucet matches perfect with the new fixtures on our remodeled kitchen.
We upgraded from the AQ-4000 undercounter unit and the AQ-5200 is a definite design improvement. The ease of filter change will be a lot easier than the AQ-4000 model. This system eliminates the chlorine chemical taste that our tap water has.
Pros: Clean taste, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
