After moving, and losing my RO system of 10 years, I missed having filtered water at the ready. I also noticed that my pets weren't drinking as much water as they used to either. I purchased this unit in June, and I've been thrilled with it. It's slim profile fits in the fridge perfectly, it doesn't drip, it filters pretty fast, and the filters aren't that costly to replace. It definitely passed the pet test...they love water again!!
