This item could not have come to meet at a better time. I moved in my house about two years ago and got a brand new fridge which does not fit in my kitchen so it is downstairs. Sometimes I don’t feel like walking downstairs to get ￼filtered water, so we installed a filter in our sink, but it does not taste the same as we are on well water this, Brita sits conveniently on my counter. We use it ALOT!
