Product review (3 stars): my husband poured a glass of water and it straight up tasted like mildew. I went over and smelled the pitcher ...
The concept is neat and it's not too pricey, but honestly, ours started to grow mildew on the blue part of the filter, so we started to leave the top off hoping that would help, but it didn't. Usually we just use the water for our dogs bowl, to boil water, for the coffee machine, etc. BUT the other night, my husband poured a glass of water and it straight up tasted like mildew. I went over and smelled the pitcher and the whole thing smells disgusting...I don't know if it's worth it for that reason alone. We are throwing ours out.
