First, If you happen to check some of my recent reviews you may see a bunch of 5 star reviews. Believe me I'm hyper critical of items I buy, BUT "I research these items to death" and luckily most of the time I get the best one...at least for me. So now to the review.
I have been using Pur Filter Pitchers for years. Water always tasted great from Pur, BUT they ALWAYS clogged BADLY after minimal use. My latest Pur Pitcher after about 5 weeks of use would take almost 3 hours for the water to finally fully filter thru..that's nuts! This time I checked Consumer Reports..and found this Clear2o rated #2 by a point or 2 next to a $100-ish pitcher. Pur and Brita were at least 30-40 points DOWN from THIS Clear2o. Turns out Consumer Reports seems to have gotten this one right. WOW, after about 60 seconds..you have great tasting water totally filtered and ready to use, I think NINE cups!. As the Clear2o uses pressure from your faucet..even at the end of the filter's life span you can still expect a full pitcher of filtered water in 60 seconds or less. Compare THAT to 3 or more hours on a Pur. The filter has an indicator of green, orange, and red, so you will KNOW when it's time to change the filer, no more guessing!
Consumer reports also says the Clear2o filters yearly cost are about 1/2 of Pur...not sure about Brita. The Clear2o most importantly supposedly is a BETTER filter than Pur and Brita as to what it will filter out. So you get super fast filtering that is superior to Brita and Pur and it will never slow down till you replace the filter.
My only criticism is the tube that attaches to he faucet is a bit short and not so soft as others mentioned. My first time attaching it, the pitcher tipped over, actually twice. But after a couple tries you get used to how to connect the tube...and I have to say it's actually fun to fill this thing! :) One other thing that you may or may not like..the spout on the Clear2o is rather wide..so water comes out FAST. Once you know this, it's fine..but you have to be a little more careful when pouring from this pitcher if you don't want to overfill your glass..etc.
All in all I am REALLY impressed with this Filtering system. Worst part is trying to FIND it in stores. I finally found mine in a Walmart..was about $11 on sale..a 3 pac of filters were $25 there.
This company Applica? Seems to be involved with some huge companies such as Black and Decker so I feel rather confident they will be around a long time, and hopefully the filters, pitchers, will be easier to find locally..even on Amazon.
I think you are going to LOVE this thing!!Get more detail about Clear2O Water Filtration Pitcher.
