Summary: Short lifespan
Comment: I had this product a few months and it developed cracks in the main cylinder. Eventually it started spraying water all over. I recommend STAYING AWAY from this product.

Summary: Works great... for a few months
Comment: I got one of these as my unfiltered water is totally undrinkable. None of the many washers it came with fitted my sink so I bought one that would (then noticed that if you call them they will sort that for you). It installed no problems after that. The water tastes so much better and comes out at a decent rate. I really like the way you twist it to switch between filtered and unfiltered, very simple and unbreakable.
However, after less than 3 months I noticed a crack in the back of the housing of the fiter near the top. It gradually got bigger, then another one developed and they both started leaking. Now I get 2 big arcs of water coming out the side every time I use the filter. The connector with the tap leaks a bit too but I think that is just that it has worked loose. I would tighten it but what's the point as it's leaking more elsewhere?! I called PUR to complain and they were really nice, sent me a voucher for a replacement. Think I am going to try a chrome model, fingers crossed that won't crack as easily...

Summary: super-satisfied
Comment: i wanted to stop using bottled water containers and i felt that this filtration system might be the way to go. i have not been disappointed. the water coming thru the filter is fresh and tastes great. i've compared the filtered water with non-filtered taps in my house and you can really tell the difference.

Summary: Broke after 3 months, filters last just a few weeks
Comment: Our house has hard water, so we purchased the PUR Plus Faucet Filtration System in hopes of making our water taste better. It succeeded in that, and that alone.
The filter goes bad FAST. We bought our first new filter after about 10 weeks of use (we're just 2 people and we're rarely home).
About a week after our new filter was in place, the unit developed a leak from the indicator window. This wasn't so bad.
Then came the spraying! A near-inch long crack appeared on the front, and it sprays water in a horizontal column at the user!
Other negatives:
*As the filter reaches the end of its lifespan, water comes out of the unit slower.. and sloooweer.
*The filter completely stops working when the filter is considered "done" by the unit. I found this most ridiculous of all: it just STOPS letting you use it when it decides the filter's no good! Who says the filter is no good? An internal mechanism that knows nothing about the quality of the water going through it? This is obviously a ploy to sell more filters!
Avoid this water filter!

Summary: Faucet Mount Cracked
Comment: The Faucet Mount was purchased in early May. By mid September the Faucet Mount had severely cracked in no less then two places, water sprayed out of the sides, rendering the item completely useless. It is noted that during this time period, considerable money was saved, and an individual's environmental footprint was reduced, because bottled water was not purchased.
The Mount was properly installed, and was only used while the facet was in the position for cold water use. During the 3-4 months of use, the Faucet Mount worked well, and one could clearly tell the difference between the filtered and unfiltered water. The replaceable filter, did have a life of about two months (which was stated by the manufacturer). Individual replaceable filters are about half the cost of the Faucet Mount Filter.
However, the short life of the housing unit of the Faucet Mount, which is plastic, reveals that the overall craftsmanship is shoddy, and long-term durability was not a factor in design.
This item gets a low rating mainly because of the lack of long-term durability.
