Time with product: 6 Months
Strengths: The filters make a big difference in cleaning the water. We have a well and the water is much cleaner and better tasting with these filters
Weaknesses: The only weakness is that it does not filter very fast. If you fill a pitcher or something and use that it is not so bad, but a glass each time you want one is time consuming.
Summary: I highly recommend these filters if you have any questions with your water. I also installed a whole house filter and it is amazing what was in the water we were drinking before (mainly sediments). I am sure that it was fine, but the water is much cleaner and better tasting now:)

Strengths: Great tasting water; easy to replace filters; faucet mounts are attractive (chrome or white).
Weaknesses: Carbon residue in the drinking glass; bulky PUR mount; messy spray when turned on unless you are careful (not good with kids).
Summary: I have both a PUR filter on the kitchen faucet and a Brita pitcher for the refrigerator. This double filtration results in incredibly clean tasting water. It is very helpful in the desert climate, where the water supply can contain a lot of calcium, lime and other minerals. The PUR mount is bulky on the faucet and you need to switch it off when using hot water. I have found that it sprays a fast stream and is rather messy when using. Water gets all over the counter, so be careful not to turn the cold water handle too fast. The filters themselves are about $8 each, if you purchase in bulk. This is more expensive than the Brita pitcher filters, which cost about $5 each. Both filters do leave carbon residue behind, but the Brita leaves the residue in the pitcher and not in your drinking glass. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Brita pitcher alone. Also, I have tried an under-the-sink filtration for the tap water and I prefer this to the PUR mount.

Strengths: 1) Affordable2) Easy to Install3) Long Lasting4) Clean and Great tasting water
Weaknesses: 1) The Filter housing takes up some space at the faucet2) Pours kind of slow initially, which gets better with use
Summary: The city water run through this filter tastes great. I feel the water quality is fine, and have not had any problems with minute particles in the water. The filter is easy to install, but pours kind of slow initially, which gets better with use. For my kind of usage, the filter should last about 3-4 months, which is a great deal. The filter housing does take up some space at the kitchen faucet, and takes some time to get used to it. NEVER run hot water through the filter.

Time with product: 4 Years
Strengths: Long lasting. Easy to install. Relatively cheap price.
Weaknesses: They don't seem as efficient as previous generation PUR faucet filters. Sometimes find debris in water.
Summary: First the Pros: 1. These filters last pretty long: I use it pretty regularly (consuming on average about a gallon of water a day), and one filter usually lasts about 2-3 months. I usually refill water bottles and that saves big time on the cost of bottled water. 2. The filters are so easy to change out that a child could do it. Just follow the pictures on the box/package. 3. The best place I have found them for sale is at Amazon. A box of six is an incredible deal at about $50 with free S&H. Now the Cons: 1. I have used the previous generation water filters that had a charcoal filtration system that I thought was much more efficient. Of course, the filters didn't last quite as long, but I felt more confident about the water I was drinking. These new filters use a carbon & mineral filtration system which doesn't seem to filter out the smallest particles. 2. Often I'll see some black debris in my water that may have come from the carbon filter breaking up and seeping through the "natural minerals". 3. Also, when you first install the filter, you better let it run for 5 minutes as instructed because the water has a very "soapy" feel and look to it. That's kind of scary. Makes me wonder exactly what's in the filter. Conclusion: the faucet filter works nicely and doesn't get in the way. It is easy to turn on and have nice filtered water. Debris is rare, but occasionally it happens. But in the end, I feel better about the water and it tastes much fresher and crisper than regular faucet water, so I will continue to use this product in the years to come.
