Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42622 On Tap Filtration System, White/Chrome

Customer Review: Absolutely worthless
Summary: 1 Stars

Got one at BB&B and it worked fine for about six weeks. If I wrote this review during that time, I would have given it four stars. My only complaint would have been the somewhat cumbersome switch between faucet water and the filter.

That said, after about six weeks it no longer stays attached to the faucet. No matter how carefully and securely I reattach the unit to the faucet, it POPS off when I turn the water on, spraying me in the face in the process. Even using plumbing tape hasn't helped.

I thought that maybe I just got a lousy unit, but after reading some of these reviews, there is apparently some kind of design flaw with this product. Save your money and buy a pitcher or a different brand of faucet filter that actually works.

Customer Review: I've been using mine for years without a single problem!
Summary: 5 Stars

I use my Brita faucet filter every day to filter all my drinking & cooking water. It's infinitely more convenient than the pitcher filter & much cheaper (& lighter) than carrying home bottled water from the grocer.

I'm baffled as to how the other reviewers could find this water filter complicated to use. It just screws on the faucet. When it comes time to change filters, the old one pops out & a new one pops in. It takes less than 10 seconds. The indicator light resets automatically. I've never had a problem with leaking or dripping. It truly couldn't be any simpler to use. I *love* it!


Customer Review: Good filter until it breaks in 2 months!
Summary: 1 Stars

I have owened 3 of these so far and every one has started leaking
at the junction to the faucet! The leak is caused by a crack in the
plastic part that holds the filter to the screw ring that threads onto the faucet. Since this has not been fixed in over a year I can only assume that brita doesn't care if their expensive filter breaks after only two months of use! Don't buy one it wont last! Perhaps if enough people complain they might fix it, but I have read several complaints just like mine going back a year. Like I said don't buy one it will just break on you.

Customer Review: Cheap, but you can do better.
Summary: 2 Stars

My problem with this unit is after the first filter the LED lights no longer work. Is there a battery? If yes, how do I change it? Does it hurt this filter if you run hot water through it? Easy to do by mistake, but no answer I can find. Everyone is worried about chemicals and lead, but that's kids stuff. Bacteria will make you sick! For the price they charge for these filters you will save in the long run AND get better purification with an under sink unit. I have no idea. I am going on to a under sink filter. Cheaper in the long run AND they filter bacteria.

Customer Review: FAIL DO NOT BUY
Summary: 1 Stars

I had one of these units 8 years ago. It was difficult to install but did work. The product has been redesigned and somehow made even more difficult to install. They shortened the plastic threads and they DO NOT WORK ! Like many of the reviews here say, it does not work ! You spend 5 minutes carfully screwing it on and think it is secure, then slowly turn the water on and it pops off. After the third time you give up. I used to have one 8 years ago with similar problems, but it used to stay on. Amazon, please stop this sham.
