I bought this product almost a year ago. Although the quality of the filtered water is top-notch, the spigot is very hard to deal with. First of all, the bottom is very hard , so you better build up thumb muscle to push it in , and secondly , the flow of water coming from it is almost non-existent, therefore to fill a small saucepan, takes forever, not to mention a large on in case you want to cook some pasta.
