Brita Hub Instant Powerful Countertop Water Filter System, Reduces 70+ Contaminants, 12 Cup Water Reservoir, Includes 6 Month Carbon Block Filter, White, 87340

Great value for a great product.
Update: How did I survive tap water without this! This filter system is wonderful. I love that I know how much water I am drinking each time and each day. The odor is gone and the taste is better than bottled water and I am not putting more plastic into the environment. Win for me, win for ecology. Can I do 10 stars?Have used it for 24 hours only but love this. I was concerned that Amazon indicated that this was frequently returned for refund, but ordered it knowing that I could return it if necessary. Most poor ratings noted leakage. I think they didn’t set the filter in properly personally.I prefer to drink tap water rather than paying for bottled water, much of it is just filtered tap water anyhow. But the community I just moved to over-chlorinates the water and the smell and taste are awful. This filtering system works amazing at filtering out the chlorine! Hopefully it is filtering out contaminants also as promised.I love the ability to use the preset dispensing amounts or to just push and release for cups/glasses that hold less water. Quick to set up. Easy to use. The reservoir holds a sufficient amount of water for my daily use. And the price was right.

Brita Hub Instant Water Filter is not worth the money. The green light turns to red before it should
I purchased this Brita Hub Instant Powerful Countertop Water Filter on 9-18-2024 for $153.00. We have changed water filter 6-times and my water light went from green to orange after the first year. Second year it went to red which means I need a new filter.This is not a good product to spend this kind of money on. Very disapponting.

Best water filter from Brita
Update 8/8/23: The hub is stil working as expected. The filter lasts 60-75 days for family of 4. I think it under delivered. I think it is a 4 star product considering this one issue. However I am still sold on overall capability and ready access to clean water.Original Review: Water filter pitchers and faucet filters are great portable water purification devices – first because they are much more affordable than the under sink gadgetry and second, it is easily transportable. Because of the low capital cost, they do not need serious thought about buying.However, they have two SERIOUS problems:1.) the filter needs frequent replacement and every time it take a lot of time to do the initial rinse2.) the water is not available immediately- as you might have noticed; the better the filter quality, the more it takes to filter the waterThis brilliant design from Brita takes care of both issues.1.) the filter is designed to last much longer – six months at the least – even with clouded muddy water2.) best part – the filtration is immediateAs you can see in the picture it can easily fit a tall 20 oz bottle as well as 12 oz small tumblerFurther, I compared this with a regular RO filter. Though, there are many benefits of RO that I wouldn’t list here , let me list a few things in favor of Brita.1.) it doesn’t filter all minerals – I felt this water tastier than the regular tap water or RO.2.) it is cheaper than most brand RO systems3.) it is portable ( STILL)4.) it is ONE filter unit ( compared to 2 or 3 for most ROs)5.) it is easy to use – my 6 year old can easily get her water by pressing a button. It is much harder to tilt the smallest Brita pitcher6.) the filter is 3rd party certified and removes most of the bad stuff ( like chlorine)7.) personally, I do not like the idea of sanitizing the water to the extent of distilled water and I hate the idea of adding *certain minerals after distilling the water8.) I don’t have to throw away residue water like RO systems – it is ultimately a waste of water.9.) it is much faster than RO and I don’t need a separate large reservoir. The Brita task can fill 4 20z bottles completely and then some more.I think, this product would be a good fit for most households with family.
