Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42201 On Tap Filtration System, White
Customer Review: Pure Junk!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one of the best or so I thought.It will not stay attached to your faucet,if it will even fit your faucet.It dont come close to fitting my kitchen faucet,so I tried my bathroom faucet.It does fit my bathroom faucet,but will not stay on,comes flying off when you turn the water on.
The part that screws on your faucet is very cheap plastic and not nearly large(tall)enough to screw onto your faucet correctly.
Also,the parts they give you to adjust/adapt to your faucet are xtremely cheap plastic and does not work,a total waste.
Do not buy this piece of sh...crap...!!!
Whenever some company makes a quality water filter,They will have a million-billion dollar company.With a product made out of real metal.This is just another example of whats wrong with our world today.Nothing is made right.,or in the USA!
Customer Review: Cheap peice of garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
Installation was easy, just screw the thing on to your faucet and put the filter in.
The first time I used it, I turned the water on and the unit blasts off my faucet and falls into the sink, spraying water everywhere. After several tries, the unit kept ending up in the sink or spraying water all over the kitchen. I tried tightening the faucet adapter and the threads became stripped. So I took that one back. The next one did the exact same thing.
Apparently the genius engineers at Brita decided to put plastic threads on the faucet adapter. Guess what engineers? The plastic you chose is way too soft and the threads on the faucet adapter get stripped or just break away very easily.
Don't waste your money on this. Go for the PUR faucet filter instead. It has metal threads and works better than the Brita.
Customer Review: New Design Flawed
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the Brita faucet filter after my previous filter started to leak around the connector. The prior filter was over 2 years old. The replacement filter is a new design and I have to say does make it easier to select between filtered water and stream/spray. The bad news is the adapters for the faucet are now made of plastic with only a few threads. After about a week, my new unit just flew off the faucet. I reattached and a couple days later, the same thing. Frustrated, I contacted Brita about the issue. The service rep, Ashley, was extremely helpful and sent new metal adapters along with a new Brita filter which became stripped. The new adapters have more threads and provide a better connection. If they just packaged those adapters with the product, I would have rated this 5 stars.Customer Review: No adapters and no problem!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using a Brita Tap filter for over 2 years now and have never had any problems. I figured it was about time to replace the tap itself since it was getting dirty but after reading reviews I was a bit hesitant. Everyone seems to be having problems with it not staying on. Since I've never had this problem in the past, I figured the product has changed for the worse over the past few years. Not true!
My faucet has external threads and this fit perfectly! It screws on tightly and shows no sign of failing or falling. I'm glad I decided to purchase this item again. It seems that most people are having trouble with the adapters, and not the product itself. If your sink is like mine (external threads) and you do not need the adapters, then this is a great product!
Customer Review: Cheap plastic threads wear out easily
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one, the cheap plastic threads connecting to the faucet wore out. So I bought another. And the cheap plastic threads connecting it to the faucet wore out -- even quicker. I frequently go to get a drink and find that it's spraying water into my face. Brita should be using metal threads which probably would cost them about $0.01 more. After two fast failures, I'm staying away from Brita filters. I don't know what to do with the bunch of extra filters I have.
After months using a new Culligan filter, I strongly recommend the Culligan instead: $10 cheaper, AND more durable. Brita, your competition has clearly surpassed you: Culligan FM-15A Level 3 Faucet Filter
