PROS:
- It fills quickly. Snap it onto the spigot, turn on the tap, and water is ready to drink in well under a minute. Given the sizable capacity, this is pretty impressive performance.
- The water tastes great. My first reaction after tasting water from this the first time was a sense of digust...wondering what I'd been drinking all this time any time I slurped something straight from the tap. The water tastes very similar to premium bottled waters, although I'll agree with other reveiwers that it does not taste like Brita/PUR product, which probably lets a higher degree of minerals through the gate.
- Big capacity: I hadn't checked just how much larger it is, but it is incontrovertible that this is bigger than your standard Brita/PUR pitcher. The website boasts 50% larger; I could believe that, as we go quite a bit longer between refills.
- A real filter meter. I was always aggravated by the simple timer that came on Brita filters; how would it know how decayed the filter had been? The Clear2O appears to have some sort of actual meter that tells you when the filter needs replacement due to wear, not simple passage of time. That will save money and guesswork on the life of the filter.
CONS:
- Special equipment needed. We have a kitchen faucet that's got a removable spray head.
It took me a little snooping online to find out definitively, so here it is: yes, you need to attach something to a standard faucet in order for this to work. Fortunately, we had a bathroom we don't use, and attached the spigot to that faucet, and we fill the pitcher in the bathroom (a minor inconvenience). That said, the hose attached to the pitcher was too short to work with a sink you can't fit the entire pitcher in, height-wise. If that's your problem, ensure you buy the Clear2o CWX100A Hose Extender.
- This thing is loud! It's bizarre to think of a water pitcher being noisy, but here we are. Hitch the pitcher up to the thing, turn on the water, and there's a noise that can best be described as grinding that emanates from the hose and filter working. Like I said, it's for less than a minute, but it's still noisy.
- Minor leak: as noted by other reviewers, I note small rivulets of water running down the side of the empty pitcher while filling, where the filter assembly meetings the spout. If you hold the pitcher directly upright, the problem is minimized, but...
All in all, I'm extremely satisfied with the product. The filters are cheap, far cheaper than buying water at Costco. It's convenient, and gives you peace of mind that the water you're drinking is indeed clean.
