I installed one of these about a month ago.  After running a few gallons of water through the filter, the water was clear and tasted fine.  I have read other reviews where there were plastic particle in the water and it tasted bad.  So I checked on the water every few days by comparing the filtered water with tap water.  I would leave the water sit in clear glasses on the counter for a few hours to let the water settle.  The filtered water was as clear as the tap water and tasted better.  I did have a small problem when inserting the filter but it went in after a few minutes of trying.  I have not experienced any leaks.
