 very effective. August 29, 2010
mallu_mav
best fitting filter. no leaks. and operates very efficiently.
default is off. which is good. you dont want to waste filtered water while washing dishes.
Water doesnt taste as well as the Pur filters. but this fits way more reliably than the leaky Pur filters.
good product. This provides level 3 purification.
If only they had one with level 4 purification. that would have been wonderful.
Filter works well, just a bit slow August 27, 2010

The filter comes with all manner of faucet attachment adapters, thankfully they had one to work on my archaic faucet.
After running cold water through it for 10 minutes as directed, the filter works great and the water tastes...filtered...which is what you're paying for.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it runs a bit slower than the Brita models but I've had two of those wear out on me. So be aware that patience is a requirement for owning this item, but reliability is its reward.
Easily the best August 25, 2010

After our second Brita on-faucet filter broke, I decided to try another brand. After doing some research, we decided to give Culligan a try based on its Level 3 filter, compact size, and metal fittings. After a month of use, we're very satisfied.
Installation was very easy, since we'd already removed the aerator from our faucet. I feel MUCH more confident in the mounting, though, since the metal fittings sealed very nicely and seem sturdy - unlike Brita or Pur. The unit is also pretty compact, and it has a very handy auto-off function that automatically switches back to unfiltered water when the tap is turned off. Flavor is nice and clean after we let it run for the recommended 10 minutes the first time.
Two drawbacks I've noted, but neither is a deal-breaker:
1) Water flow is fairly slow, but not much slower than the Brita. I can fill a 16-ounce glass in 13 seconds, which isn't terrible, but if I'm filling a pot I usually walk away and do something else while it fills.
2) There's no indicator light to remind you when to replace the filter. I actually really liked that about the Brita, but everything else about this filter is so much better (including the price), that I'll stick with the Culligan. The filter comes with a little sticker to put on your calendar to remind you instead, which I ended up putting on my fridge.
Overall, I'll stick with Culligan from now on. Recommended!
Low cost and excelent performance! August 22, 2010

Really, this filter reduces bad odor and taste in the water and has a good price, I bought one a few days ago, and I am satisfied with it.
So Far so Good August 18, 2010

8/17/2010 Installed fairly easily. Came with adapters which I did use to install. The construction looks very durable, unlike some of the competitors like PUR(At the store the display model was already broken) and Brita. I also did research in reviews for other models, most reviews of the competition such as brita and PUR never really complained about the taste of the water, just mainly the products flimsiness and prone to breaking in a fairly short time (2 to 6 months for bad cases) average being 2 years. One recommendation for using any faucet filter after reading so many reviews don't use full pressure if you want it to last longer. I currently live in San Diego and the tap water is not the greatest. As per taste, its not bottled water but the filter makes the water just taste like nothing and there isn't much of an after taste that I can notice(both me and my roommate agree to this). That is pretty darn good for me. I wanted a faucet filter because it saves the hassle of filling jugs constantly and keeping it refrigerated. I don't like really cold water and for me tap water temperature is nice. It works nicely you turn the water on. pull on the nob tab out. Then the water flows through the filter, instead of having to push the tab back in. You can shut off the water and it will automatically go back in defaulting to the non filtering. I really like that system. I will do a follow up in 2 months as per how long the filter will perform.
