Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR Flavor Options Faucet Mount FM-5050CCustomer Review: Looks shoddy but it does the job Summary: 3 StarsI purchased this filter at my local grocery store. It looks so much more impressive on the box and in photos then it does in real life. It's big, bulky and the fake chrome looks very fake (you can tell it's plastic from a distance).
I might have gone with a more familiar brand like BRITA, however, I was intrigued by the Flavor Options feature of this model. I'm perfectly satisfied with non-flavored water but I thought it might be fun for the kids. Unfortunately, the flavored water option is not that great. In fact - it just tastes gross. We don't use artificial sweeteners in our house so it could simply be that we don't have a taste for it. One pump/squirt of the flavoring leaves the water tasting like perfumed water and several makes it sickly fake sweet. There doesn't seem to be a happy medium.
Aside from being disappointed with the Flavor Option in general, the product itself does not appear to be built to last. The housing is plastic and it seems terribly 'flimsy'. Also, some of the parts for installing are extremely sharp and will cut you. My boyfriend sliced his thumb and forefinger up very badly while screwing in the connecting piece between our faucet and the filter (the cuts occurred while it was still fairly loose - not from over tightening it). The threads on this piece are EXTREMELY SHARP. I know because after seeing his cuts I ran my thumb along it not believing that it could have been that sharp and wound up with a good slice in mine as well (like a paper cut). I handed him some paper towels to protect his hands while he tightened it up the rest of the way.
Overall, I still give this filter three stars though because it ultimately does what I want it to - Filters Water. Even though I don't care for the Flavor Option, it is of course 'Optional' so I will continue to use this filter until the time comes for us to find a new one. One nice thing about this filter is the light indicator that tells you if the filter is working, if the filter is starting to get old and if the filter should be replaced. I'm not certain though how valid the indicator is (ie - is it really measuring the quality of the filter 'or' just the number of times water has passed through the filter). Although I will continue to use this for the time being, once it starts to break down I am going to try a different brand.
