(More customer reviews)To quickly answer the question most people will want to know about, the flavoring option is a mixed bag.Personally, I think it tastes great but I am used to the flavor of "diet" tasting drinks so if you can stand drinks like Crystal Light, Fresca soda, or similar you will probably like this as well.This was a present for my mother, however, and she doesn't like the taste.Adding flavor is completely optional.It's simply a small plastic container that is attached to the front of the purifier and it squirts a small amount of sucralose flavoring into the water dispensed from the separate tap.
I'm also pleased to note that this matches a chrome faucet perfectly and I didn't need separate (included) adapters during installation.My only complaint is you never feel like it is installed securely enough.While only finger tightening was enough to use without leaks, it still moves around sideways a lot.I'm not sure if that was the intent, but I would have preferred something that locks solidly into place.Installation of the filter is idiot-proof as you are literally placing a square peg into a round hole.Screw the cap on the front into place, installing the flavor cartridge if you desire, and you're ready to go.
The filters are rated to purify 100 gallons before needing replacement.A small electronic light blinks green, yellow, or red when you switch to purified water as an indicator.Most importantly, the water tastes great and I find myself drinking a lot more of it in place of soda or other drinks.That certainly can't be a bad thing.Recommended.
Update (May, 2008):I feel I should update this review.While my purifier worked, I was disheartened to read so many reviews saying these were defective.After about six months of use I started to see symptoms of problems others were complaining about such as leakage from the mount and decreased water pressure (likely due to a loose seal).P&G, the makers of Pur, were nice enough to send me a coupon for a replacement faucet but unfortunately the replacement leaked everywhere.I now question the quality and reliability of these devices, but cannot change my original rating.While the idea is great, these do seem to be cheap junk and I would not recommend them now.I guess I was lucky the first time.
