Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita Disposable Lavatory Faucet Filtration System
Customer Review: Horrible waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
This product is cheaply made with a less than well thought out design. The piece used to attach it to the faucet is plastic and with the slightest bump to the filter it will either fall off completely or spray water all over the counter (our kitchen mount filter from Brita is the same way). The fountain seems like a novel idea, but it's borderline useless. The biggest issue with this filter, being that we dealt with all these shortcomings and still got by with using it, was that it lasted 3 and 1/2 weeks from installation. The filter was used solely for drinking maybe 2 times a day on average and there was never a time that anything but cool water was run through it.
I would not waste my money on this again, nor would I suggest Brita to anyone else. I had previously purchased a Pur water filter that attached securely and had a decent filter life and for which we had no complaints. I'll be going back to Pur.
Also, the idea of a disposable unit seems extremely wasteful to me, especially if you have to replace it every month (I bought mine form another site that didn't state they were disposable). Brita has an online campaign to up their filter sales that is disguised as a call to end the consumption of plastic bottles. This idea of having a disposable unit seems to go against their supposed concerns over the environment and the overconsumption of petroleum products (the entire unit is made of plastic and CAN'T be recycled as a plastic water bottle could).
Customer Review: Not worth the $
Summary: 1 Stars
I may be wrong, but at 16oz. a day, this filter is only good for about 45 gallons of water. I don't see that lasting a year in any normal household, do you? You're better off bringing a glass of filtered water to your night table from the kitchen like the rest of us...
p.s. What do they mean by "disposable"? That seems to be a very subjective term these days. If I weren't renting I would take the money I spend on water filters and invest it in a water filter system for the house and enjoy filtered water out of every tap, as well as the shower/bath, and laundry.

It fits fine on my sink, no leaks at all. The one problem I do have is finding where this is sold besides at BJs, where it was sold and online. My wife made me get and now I can't drink the water from my kitchen sink with out it!Customer Review: Very easy to install
Summary: 5 Stars
It took a few minutes to put in place and more important the water coming out of the tap really taste 100% better - the chlorinated taste is gone. I enjoy drinking water straight from the tap now.Customer Review: Best bathroom upgrade; great for whole family
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had mine for a number of months and it's fantastic. The drinking water spout (it shoots up just like a fountain) is fantastic for brushing teeth, quick drink, taking pills, etc. Late at night I don't have to venture out to the kitchen for a quick drink of water. Kids love it too - and you can't complain at something that gets kids excited about drinking water, let alone cleaner, filtered water.
Yes, it needs a little re-tightening here and there, but it's not a big deal. It's designed to be disposable when the filter runs out (After about a year), so I didn't expect it to be something that'd last forever. Can't imagine not having one in the bathroom anymore.
