 Mostly good August 19, 2008
I purchased this as a replacement for an old horizontal one (which was a replacement for an older one that was replaced under warranty when it broke).
The vertical one seems like it might work a bit better in our situation but they all suffer from water wicking into the gap between the outer color layer (chrome on ours) and the main plastic body allowing mold to grow. It should have been sealed at manufacturing time but regular cleaning with simple chlorine bleach kills any mold and doesn't hurt the water quality.
The lid is sometimes difficult to unscrew since it's smooth and often wet, we have a sticky plastic pad for opening jars that grabs and turns the lid with no problem.
 Great System August 17, 2008

We have used the PUR Facet Mount systems for years at home and work without any difficulty. An earlier version purchased in 1982 and installed at work operates perfectly with no signs of leaks or deterioration. The unit mounts to the facet in minutes. No tools required. After cartridge installation ensure that COLD water runs through the system for 5 - 7 minutes. Never operate with hot water. A great feature of the built in filter indicator is that it will shutdown when the life of the unit is exhausted. Life span for the filters has been about 45 to 60 days. As far as replacement filters go, the best value for the money is the six pack offered by Amazon. I would highly recommend this system over others out there including the vastly overrated Brita units.
 WARNING - DO NOT BUY THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!!! August 15, 2008

This is the 3rd or 4th Pur water filter that I've had. The first few times I tried the models without the "filter-life indicator" window. All of them eventually leaked and had to be discarded. With the model that I now own, I have had exactly the same problem as described by others here - half-way through the very first filter, it started leaking from the indicator window - at first it was a slow leak but after a few weeks turned into a spray that gets all over you. In general, these Pur filters do not last very long, and this model with the clear window definitely has a design defect - I would warn anybody to avoid purchasing this item or similar Pur faucet filters. I'm going to try a Brita filter.
Water tastes clean when you finally fill your cup August 12, 2008

This filter looks good and makes the water taste good. The only problem is that after you use a new filter for a couple of days, the water is processed way to slow.
Piece of Junk August 10, 2008

Don't waste your money on this. The other 1 star reviews are very accurate. This POS will leak and/or break on you in less than 3 months.
