I love this thing. Affordable, super easy to install, and works amazing. I'll pry replace every 18 months or so, despite it saying 24 (or 26,000 gal, whichever first) because the water where I live is atrocious ( boil order almost every month). Comes with everything you need too. Good flow, with no hiccups outside of the first 5 seconds of the 5 minute priming. Definitely prime for at least 5 minutes to let it really get through the filter part and "clean" the charcoal bits.

To start off, I like how long this will last. It cleans a lot of gallons of water. Easy to install and I like that it can be mounted under the sink. I noticed a change in the taste of water almost immediately.

This STOKK under sink water filter is very easy to install. It comes with everything needed to get the job done. The instructions are easy to read and follow. Even come with a template to mark/drill the mounting holes. Product and hardware are all high quality. I saved a glass of before water and compared the taste to the after install water and there is a huge improvement in the taste of water. Much better tasting and really does reduce the taste of chlorine. Good value and competitive pricing compared to other filters.

Installation is very easy. This is a water filter to improve water quality by removing harmful substances, however it does not remove minerals that are dissolved in the water. Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems can decrease minerals and TDS, which are Total Dissolved Solids. This system reduces the chlorine in our water.

Pros- 100% remove bad tastes from tap water - easy to assemble - great value

This is a decent (albeit rather basic and perhaps a bit on the cheaper end of the spectrum) single-staged water filtration system that seems to be reasonably well-built although it's entirely plastic (which I'm not a big fan of) and for the most part works just fine (for now). This has what appears to be a single-stage filter although I can't be certain if that's indeed the case; however, multi-stage filtration systems (which I have a few) all have multiple and separate filters. In any event, it does (or at least appears to) have NSF 42, 53, and 372 certifications based on what I can see from the official websites. The overall build quality is just fine although I'm not exactly a bit fan of its all-plastic construction and frankly I'm a little wary of anything plastic when it comes to food/drinks. Although it's not exactly cheap per se, it doesn't look like a million bucks either. From the ads, somehow I thought this is entirely made of some sort of metallic alloy, perhaps stainless steel but I was wrong. The greyish metallic color is just the photoshopped version of a grey plastic shell, similar to the typical and common water pipes that you've seen a thousand times. With that being said, it includes everything needed to get this installed; whoever, removal of existing setup can be tricky especially if you haven't done it before or if you have to deal with rust and/or hard water deposits. Nonetheless, it's no more difficult than most others of similar design and style to get it installed. Btw, it does come with a 3/8" to ½" adapter which I do appreciate. Btw, for those who aren't familiar with what NSF 42/53/373 certifications are; here is a short summary. * NSF/ANSI 42: reduction of inorganics such as fluoride, volatile organic chemicals, and heavy metals including lead, arsenic, copper, cadmium, mercury, chromium, and selenium etc. * NSF/ANSI 53: removal/elimination of contaminant with negative health effects, such as VOCs, bacteria, and lead being the most common * NSF/ANSI 372: this particular certification doesn't reduce or remove anything from the water but instead it focus on the components of the filtration system and it sets a upper limit (max 0.25%) on the amount of lead content from the components There are at least about a dozen or so of these NSF/ANSI standards and/or certifications when it comes to water filtration and NSF 42/53 are amongst some of the MOST common ones (as you would've guessed). Other common ones include NSF/ANSI 44 (removal of hardness minerals), NSF/ANSI 55 (UV treatment), NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis), NSF/ANSI 401 (removal of about a dozen contaminants, MOST filtration system built into the fridge has this, including the Whirlpool fridge that I have) The fact that it's NOT NSF/ANSI 401 certified is a little disconcerting for me personally and it's in comparison a step backward with what I currently have unfortunately. With that being said, it'd still be helpful if you're not using anything at the moment but I'd probably get something that provides better results (i.e. more filtration stages (≥ 5) and/or capable of filtering out finer particulars, ideally 0.01 micron or less) if you are able. So how does it perform? Well, it's not any worse comparing to what I currently have so I guess that's a good sign. I don't believe the water quality from where I'm is particularly bad with distinctive odor or discoloration that I can immediate see so I can't say for whether it actually removes or reduces what it claims to do; however, what I can say is that its performance is quite comparable to other filtration systems that I've come across with the same spec (i.e. NSF/ANSI 42/53 certified) and the water is, well, tasteless, just the way I like it. ≡ Value All things considered, this is a reasonably decent (albeit rather basic) under the sink [single-stage] water filtration system that works just fine without issues but it's entirely made of plastic of which I'm not a big fan given the circumstance. It's somewhat reasonably priced at $98 for what it provides and its overall built quality (not poor but I'd very much prefer stainless steel instead of plastic), features, usability, and performance. Your mileage might vary.

Current price point is not available at the time/date of this review. As such, my review rating is solely based on the performance, design, and build quality of this product as it stands. My recommended pricing would be a little over or a little under the $100 mark to keep it competitive. Comes in a nice design overall - not that it matters as it’ll be under your sink - but it comes in a dual leak proof design according to the seller which is always better than none (not verified.) Super easy to install with minimal effort. Even for a complete novice, with the right tools it shouldn’t take too long. Be sure to shut off your water valve and don’t proceed if you’re not comfortable or new to it without due diligence. Offers a decent filtration level which won’t strip all the nutrients out but at the same time taking out some undesirables. The impact will be felt most in rural areas where the water tends to be more contaminated and in need of filtration. While it still offers a slight impact in terms of taste and quality, it’s only a small bump up as city tap water is generally better filtered - depending on where you live. I would still definitely rather have this than not. To my surprise, using a water quality detector, the output is marginally better meaning it is still doing something, but don’t expect a HUGE leap in quality.
