We have the water filter now for almost 2 months in operation. Every day it is used by our 4 person family. And nobody wants to miss it today more. To clearly is the taste difference between "filtered" and "unfiltered" water. We could never have imagined that tap water may taste as "good". Coffee and tea also taste much better with filtered water. Only if we need large amounts of water, eg for cooking, unfortunately we do not (yet) in filtered water. Because to filter larger quantities these handy devices are suitable -Of course structurally bedingt- very limited or designed. From the filtered water, we are so thrilled that we are now seriously consider a home water filtration system that can be connected directly to the house water connection. As long as this plan is not yet but reality, the "small" PearlCo will continue doing his service. His handling we perceive as easy, thoughtful, functional, without unnecessary electronic gadgets. The value for money we found excellent. Truly a well-deserved and unlimited purchase recommendation.
