Portable Water Purifier – 5-Stage Filter

So, me and my girl decided to give this water purifier a whirl right around Memorial Day weekend. It showed up all nicely packed and setting it up was pretty straightforward. The instructions? Clear as day, super easy to follow. We've got well water that's been softened, but honestly, it wasn't something you'd want to drink straight up—had a TDS reading of 490. But after running the water through the new filter a bunch of times like the booklet said, the TDS on the purifier's readout started showing mostly between 10-40, and then it kind of settled in the sweet spot of 15-25 after a bit more filtering. That's smack dab in the efficiency range they promised, so thumbs up there. Yeah, you get a bit of waste water, but honestly, it wasn't as much as I was bracing for. This thing doesn't drag its feet and it's quiet, too. Really simple to use, doesn't hog space, and you can pause the filtering whenever. We've got a bunch of Mason jars—32 and 64 ounces—that we fill up and stash in the fridge or leave out. Even the big 64-ouncer fits right where the carafe goes. I was digging the taste right from the get-go, but my girlfriend wanted a bit more oomph to it. We found that dropping like 4-5 drops of this concentrated mineral stuff into a full carafe (we're talking 40 ounces) did the trick for her. Oh, and our older cat? She's all about it now, drinks it more than the tap water. Pros: It's a solid piece of kit, cranks out clean water like nobody's business, and it's exactly as they describe it. Cons: Can't say there's much. Just heads up, it might drip a few drops of water here and there during the backflush thing, and when you pull the tank off to fill it up, might get a bit of water on the ledge. But it's minor stuff, nothing a little towel can't handle. I'm really liking that it's just one filter in this bad boy. Hoping it'll last the 9-12 months they say it will. It's perfect for just the two of us, especially since we're both retired. Pretty sturdy build and the blue color's a hit.

Been using this thing for a few months now, ever since I spotted algae in my old filter pitcher—gross, right? Wasn't exactly thrilled about dropping a bunch of cash on a single device, but looking back, totally worth it. It's a bit pricier than getting a full-on reverse-osmosis system installed, but living in an apartment, I needed something portable, something that doesn't mess with the plumbing. The water tastes incredible, honestly the best I've had. My mom visited soon after I got it set up, and we couldn't stop talking about how good the water was. Plus, I feel way more confident about its cleanliness, no more algae worries for me. There's this tiny issue where water can splash out from the tank's little holes if I'm moving it around, but that's about it for complaints. It's just me and my cat here, and filling up once a day has been enough. Would definitely recommend it to anyone in a similar boat, worried about water quality. Seems like it's going to last a while, and I haven't even had to think about changing the filter yet. Just a heads up, it does make some noise occasionally, but it's a small price to pay for top-notch water.

Now that we've had it for a couple of months, we're really happy with it. Yes, it requires a bit of maintenance, but it's so worth it. The water tastes great, and it's saved us a ton compared to water delivery services.

Moved to NC and quickly realized the tap water wasn't cutting it. This system's been a game changer—clear water and the digital TDS readings offer peace of mind. No more bottled water for us, and it's coming camping, too.

Ideal for anyone with bad tap water who drinks a lot of water. It's lightweight yet feels sturdy. The carafe is well-made and the water taste is unmatched. Set up was easy, and it's efficient for both coffee lovers and those aiming to reduce plastic waste.

It's both a functional and stylish addition to the countertop.

It's been amazing seeing the difference in water quality. No more plastic bottles for us. It whips up a full pitcher in just 5 minutes. The glass pitcher is sleek, though it feels like it could be fragile. Excited to try making flavored waters next.

Wanted to fall head over heels for this filter, and I'm not quite there. Water taste could be better, but adding a pinch of salt does the trick.

Decided it was time to ditch the plastics.

Having distilled water for years, this is a huge time saver and much less of a hassle. Simple to use and set up, giving two full carafes of pure water per tank. The TDS display during filtering is a nice touch, showing just how effective it is. Highly impressed and would definitely recommend.

After hunting for a suitable water filter for apartment living, this RO system hit the mark. It's been fantastic for the past 5 months. Water tastes great, but I do wish the tap water tank was a bit bigger and it had a drain hose option. Minor inconveniences, though.

Alright, so this just landed on our doorstep yesterday. Right out of the gate, it seems to be doing what it's supposed to. Big win that the carafe is glass instead of plastic, fits right into our fridge door like it was meant to be there. The controls? Couldn't be more user-friendly. And they tossed in a QR code for a free extra carafe, which we jumped on today—let's see how that plays out. We're dealing with municipal water that's not terrible, but not great either—38 TDS, with a hardness of 7, according to the last report we checked. After giving the system its initial flush and running a few carafes through it, this machine was pulling down TDS readings of just 01. That's a noticeable drop in the mineral taste, and assuming those readings are on the money, it's stripping out a decent chunk of whatever's left in our tap water. I get the feeling it can't legally show a reading below 01, but who knows, maybe it's actually getting it down even lower. Now, couple of gripes: First off, the tank at the back's on the small side, so you're back and forth refilling it more than you might like. I get it, bigger tank means a bigger unit, so you're trading off with space. But maybe they could sweeten the deal by including an extra tank in the box. Second thing is, even though this model's more water-efficient than some others out there, you're still looking at a fair bit of waste water. If you try to game it by not topping up the tank, hoping to cut down on the waste, the TDS creeps up to 02—not the end of the world, still drinkable, but it shows even a fresh filter's got its limits. You need a decent amount of clean water to kick things off. Waste water's part and parcel with RO systems, but worth mentioning since we're all trying to be more mindful about water use. If you're new to RO, just know you won't be using every drop you pour in—some's gonna get tossed. Overall, though, feeling good about this purchase, even if it did hit the wallet a bit harder than we were expecting.

This has been a lifesaver, no more lugging water bottles from the store every week. I think everyone could benefit from one.

Just brought this sink top water filter into my life, and let me tell you, I'm over the moon with it. Checks every box for me and has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen setup. Here's the rundown on why it's getting a glowing five-star review from me. First off, the size and fit are just perfect. It tucks in next to my sink without monopolizing space, leaving plenty of elbow room for everything else I need to do. And it doesn't just blend in—it's got a style that actually enhances my kitchen's look, adding a dash of elegance. Now, let's talk bang for your buck. This water filter's price point is spot-on for the quality you're getting. When you stack it up against other options out there, it feels like a steal. I'm all about getting my money's worth, and this filter delivers. One of the big selling points for me was how user-friendly it is. It's a hit with the whole family—kids included. No complicated maintenance or tricky operations. Wrapping it up, I can't recommend this sink top water filter enough. If you're in the market for an affordable, effective, and hassle-free way to get your hands on clean drinking water, this is it. Its size, price, and ease of use are a winning combo for us. Totally satisfied with this purchase, and it's going to be a staple in our kitchen for the long haul.

Decided against a built-in system and couldn't be happier with this choice. It's been keeping up with our high water intake perfectly. Love the simplicity of having just one filter to worry about. Hoping it stands the test of time.

Totally in love with this system. It's stylish and the water tastes phenomenal—like something out of a high-end restaurant. It was a bit of a splurge, but absolutely worth it. We do add minerals back into the water to make sure we're not missing out on anything essential.

Just wish the reservoir was a bit larger, but it does the job well, and the water tastes great!

Using it for my humidifiers and plants has been a revelation. No more dealing with the white dust from my softened/chlorinated water!

Loving this system. The convenience compared to hauling water bottles up to my condo is a game-changer. Used to dread those trips and finding storage space was always a hassle.

Unboxing to first use was smooth sailing. Made about 10 gallons so far and it's been great. Noticed some say it's slow, but as a party of one filling gallon jugs, it's been speedy enough for me.

Swapped out an old model for this since I couldn't find filters. Setup was a breeze and the water's top-notch. The glass carafe's a tad smaller than my last one, but it filters fast. I just filter a few carafes back to back and transfer to glass jugs for all my drinking and cooking needs.

Grabbed this to cut down on water costs. We've got PFAS issues here, but this setup deals with it, no sweat. The water ends up distilled, which took some getting used to, but now I'm all about it.

Been on my reverse osmosis wishlist for ages. Opted for the smaller size and it's just right. It's sizable, but can't imagine how the larger one fits on a counter. This thing's made me up my hydration game. Can't shout its praises enough.

Spent ages digging through reviews to find the ultimate water filter and landed on reverse osmosis as the gold standard. Being in a rental, a fixed system was a no-go. This countertop unit was the perfect compromise. Doesn't hog the counter, simple to use, and it's got some serious style points. Refilling the tank is a bit of a routine, though.

Setup's a breeze and the water looks and tastes pure. The glass carafe is pretty but feels a bit delicate.

Our old countertop RO system from another brand finally gave up the ghost. Went hunting for something that was easier to clean and maintain, and this one ticked all the boxes. We're both working from home, and with two big dogs, we're constantly needing clean water. It's easy to use, a breeze to clean, and the water? Fantastic. We're loving it.

Not gonna drag this out too long. The toughest part of getting an RO system was choosing from the hundreds out there. Ended up going with this one. It's the right size, delivers great results

Absolutely smitten with this portable, easy setup, chic, and user-friendly water purifier. It's like it was made for hassle-free living.

This countertop reverse osmosis rig is the real deal. Sleek looks, but more importantly, it delivers on performance. We grabbed the version that's sized for two people, and it fills up a carafe in around four minutes flat. Only reason it's not getting a full five stars from me is the waste water situation. Wasn't fully up on how reverse osmosis works—turns out, it needs water to push the junk into, meaning you're not using about half of what's in the tank. There's a line you're not supposed to filter below, but the machine's not stopping on its own; you've gotta keep an eye on it. That aside, the water coming out of this thing is top-notch, and the machine itself couldn't be easier to use. I've definitely upped my water intake since we got it. Highly recommend, despite the waste water hiccup.
