Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42202 Ultra Faucet Filter, with Pitcher
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 4 Stars
The price might seem a bit high, especially once you factor in replacement filters, but it is worth every penny. The water tastes great and filters last long enough to justify the expense.Installation is as simple as screwing it on to the end of your faucet and installing the filter.
Other reviews have complained about the quality of the product. Personally I have experienced no problems. The plastic is very solid and it doesn't leak as long as you make sure it remains tightly attached to the faucet.
One word of advice: If you're going to order this, pick up a couple filters ahead of time. I found the price of filters in retail stores to be quite a bit higher than the prices here.
Customer Review: Worked great for 3 months then started leaking badly
Summary: 1 Stars
Same experience here. I hoped this would work out for me, and it did- for three months. After the three months of perfect use, the crack above the Brita logo started leaking. the indicator light stopped working, and i could see the water streaming out above the area where you insert the filter replacement. We tried buying another filter, but that only worked for three days before the old problem returned. This makes me think the problem is a design flaw, especially since others have experienced the same problem. I guess you get what you pay for, and I'm planning to spring for a more heavy duty water filtration system instead of using one of these [inexpensive] screw-on ones.Customer Review: Nice looking faucet filter but get ready for surprises!
Summary: 1 Stars
The first filter developed a leak after about 3 or 4 months. After a free replacement from the company (which took months), the second system decided to blink the red light after a week's use. We decided to just keep it and use the old calendar instead of relying on the electronics. Then, after about 3 months, my 6 yr old son accidentially pushed on it and it broke right off. For what you pay, a bit of abuse like that should not just break the whole thing off, making it impossible to repair. Why not use metal instead of flimsy plastic that develops inevitable leaks? I will not continue to buy any Brita products, however sleak they may look. Don't be deceived.Customer Review: brita sink filter
Summary: 3 Stars
This product was great for maybe at the most 1 year. The water was excellent, no chlorine taste and ran faster through the filter then the Pur system I had before. Now I have to reorder it though, can't find a new one in any store. The part that connects to the faucet has been leaking when the sink is on and spraying all over the sink, surroundings and me. We had to disconnect it. Since there are so few on the market I am getting Brita again, Pur drove me nuts cause it worked so slowly. I also am probally going to get the one that comes w/ the sink connection and the pitcher since it is only $... more for the sink filter alone. Go figure.Customer Review: Great product support - free replacement for broken light

I bought my Brita faucet filter at least a couple years ago. Recently, the light telling me whether it was good or to replace the filter stopped working. I went to the Brita website, emailed their customer service with the problem asking for suggestions. They emailed me back telling me how to reset it, basically removing the filter and replacing it on the unit 2-3 times in w/i 30 seconds. The email said if it didn't work to call their 800# with a reference code. It didn't work so I called and they mailed me out a brand new one for free. No hassles or anything. It was just great customer service.
