I just installed one of these filters. The push-in connectors worked great. The only thing I needed was an adapter to connect the compression fitting to the flanged cut-off valve. The water flow is better than I expected. I now have filtered cold water from the kitchen faucet. Replacing the filter is simple and inexpensive. I wish I had changed to this new Filtrete filter sooner. I hated the job of replacing filters in my other water filter. In the past, I always delayed filter replacement because of the effort required. On this new unit, 1/4 turn removes the filter, and the water flow is cut off. Grab the replacement filter, 1/4 turn and water is ready for use.
Highly recommended!

I just installed this unit and it works great. Glad to be rid of my PUR faucet-mount filter. The flow rate is much improved with this unit. Installation was easy, except for an extra trip to the hardware store for a 1/2" adapter. The installation video on the 3M website was very useful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware... May not work as advertised, August 30, 2010

This review is from: 3M Filtrete 3US-AS01 Under-Sink Standard Water Filtration System (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this product after seeing the positive reviews it received. Unfortunately my purchase would not be one of them.

The filter is not difficult to setup at all (they even have a step-by-step instructional video on their web site if you need), it only took about 30 mins at the most. The issue came when turning the water on and losing water pressure after installation. The water line was cut so there was no excessive tubing to restrict water flow, so that wasn't the issue. 3M Filtrete touted their product as one that would not lose water pressure, but yet this was the exact issue I had.

I went to their web site for support... no support to be found on their web site. So I sent an email explaining my situation... to this day (more than 4 weeks later) I have yet to receive a reply regarding my issue. I considered returning the item to Amazon, but allowed myself to become content with the pressure until I decide to buy a replacement.

So if you are able to install the filter with no issues, then sure it's worth the purchase for the positive effects it can have on your water. But be advised, it may not work as advertised, so be prepared to send it back if you are not satisfied.
