PUR FM-9400 Faucet Filter

If you buy this, save the packaging to return it because it will leak...it is only a matter of time. If you are extremely gentle with how you handle the unit, it will last a bit longer before leaking (that… is, don't push on the unit to reposition faucet). The price is too high for the lack of quality. Get an under-sink unit and save yourself the hassle. I find that the unit gets in the way of filling large pots and pitchers in the sink and the bumping around contributes to the unit leaking. The filtered water is good and dispenses faster than I thought it would with our low water pressure.

I've been using these PUR water filter units for several years. I like the convenience and the quality of the water,but I'm getting very tired of the problems with the hardware itself. This turns out to… be quite an expensive unit because the faucet mount has never lasted more than three filters for me. Another issue is that the filters really don't last very long. In just a short time the "green" led will start to flash yellow and then red. I usually keep it on red for as long as possible to get as much out of it as I can. But the water flow will progressively lessen over time until a filter change is essential. I've had leaky units that needed replacement. I've had units break right off the faucet because of a blast of water pressure when the faucet is first turned on. And my last unit had such a problem unscrewing the cap for filter replacement that I broke the unit off the faucet when trying to twist it. Another $40 down the drain. Even with all of the replacements, it is probably still cheaper than bottled water, but not by much and I'm sure getting tired of having to buy another unit every 4-6 months. Usually the unit doesn't last much longer than the two filters included in the mount kits I buy. Overall, I would give this product two stars (instead of one) because the water does seem purified through the 3 stage filter.

I was hesitant to buy this product after reading the bad reviews. However, I didn't have any problems with the hardware: it didn't crack, break or anything. Also, I was concerned when I read that the amount… of water that comes out when you use the PUR filter would be little, but mine works fine. Water tastes good, I'm very happy with PUR. Maybe I was lucky, but based on what I got, I would highly recommend it to friends.
