I bought mines about six months ago and we love it!!! The water is fresh tasting and my family drinks even more than before because we put ours in the fridge to get cold. I like that i can check that filter life by using the tester and i even showed my hubby how many impurities were in our tap water.  only downfall is that it is hard for my kids to push the button in to get water themselves, but all in all we love it.
