Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount Gray FM-9100B
Customer Review: Pretty Designs that Don't Last
Summary: 1 Stars
First we bought the PUR 3-stage vertical faucet filter system. It lasted about 2 months before the black plastic casing cracked and we had to throw it away. And since we had left over PUR filter units, we thought we'd give PUR another try and we got the stainless steel horizontal faucet filter system, figured that it was stainless steel so it couldn't crack any more. But guess what, after 3 months of use, the joined edges of the parts went loose and now water are spitting out all over the places when we try to use the filter. That was another $50 into the trash. Honestly, what kind of QC inspection are they running in production? Their faucet product qualities are just terrible. PUR is going on our blacklist now.Customer Review: water does not taste good, flimsy, leaking
Summary: 1 Stars
Water tastes weird. No chlorine taste which is good, but there is no other taste. It is as if you are drinking totally tasteless substance.
I've got a "stainless steel version, hoping that it would be more sturdy... but it is made from the same crappy plasstic that other colors... So if you are going to get this - don't pay more for stainless steel version.
It started leaking a little where it mounts to the faucet after a couple of month of ocassional use
I don't like the taste and tend not to use the filter often. Will probably throw away once the filter runs out.
I think I would have to stick with brita pitcher filter - water from it tastes much better.
Customer Review: Pur Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
This product is horrible. I have gone through three of the horizontal mount version and two of the vertical ones. In about 6 months the horizontal ones leak arround where they fit to the faucet. The virticals spray water out of the window over the wear indicator. They will spray water all over you and your kitchen. If you keep the box the filter came in you can call PUR within a year of purchase and give them the code on the box. They will send you a cupon for a new filter. The consumer protection site here is filled with complaints about this peice of junk.[...]
They redesigned it and now it pops off the faucet instead of just spraying water all over you.
Customer Review: Very Satisfied With Product
Summary: 3 Stars
The water tastes MUCH better, and I feel better about drinking it.
It's true that the water comes out a little slowly, but I'm used to that in a faucet filter, and I just keep a glass jug filled up, and multi-task in the kitchen while it fills.
What I don't like is that all pur filters add fluoride to your water and the reports on that are mixed.
The other thing is that Brita filters have two spray settings besides the filtered setting, and I miss the other setting for washing dishes.
Ultimately, the reason I got this filter was so I could buy replacement filters at Costco and save money long term.
Customer Review: no leaks in more recent design
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw all the negative reviews on here and noticed that many of them were from a few years ago and many of them were due to poor construction of the filter hardware. I bought my PUR about 3 months ago and just came on here to buy my first new filter -- I thought I'd mention that the unit has not leaked at all since installation. I agree with those who saw that the clearance is affected by the unit, but with a goose-neck faucet you might find the filter hardware as intrusive.
Just thought I'd chime in and let people know that the newer design works well for us!
