This device works as advertised and was very easy to hook up. It comes with a couple of different faucet adapters so whether the threads of your current faucet are inside or outside, there should be an adapter to handle it. The green light to indicate that the filter is still good is especially nice. My only complaint is that the flow if decreased by about 60-70% when using the filter so it takes a while to fill up anything larger than a drinking glass. Other than that, great product.

...and it's just now time to change it out for a new one. I LOVE this filter! The water is crisp and clean right out of the faucet. And since it's disposable, I don't have to switch out a new $20 filter every few months! This thing works like a dream - never leaked once, and you can move the filter around when you need to rinse the sink out! I highly recommend this fabulous product!

I bought one 5 months ago and it fit right on my kitchen faucet. I did not need to use the rings/rubber supplements that come with it as my kitchen faucet had rings on the outside and the filter was easily screwed over it. It works just fine as far as the filtration of water is concerned. The water tastes better than most other kinds of filters we have used and the green indicator light works fine, even the toggle between filtered and non filtered water is good. The only and the worst drawback is that the part that screws over the faucet is made of plastic and its rings become flat overtime and mine broke a month ago and I had to buy a new one. The new one seems to be working fine for now but I know that its plastic is wearing out and will break. I might try other kinds of filters this time.
UPDATE ON THE ABOVE EXPERIENCE
I bought another of these filters, was able to screw it over the faucet and it worked alright for about three months but then the indicator light turned red (keeps blinking), thus warranting replacement. I have not been able to talk to BRITA customer service yet. I will not make the same mistake twice, er thrice.

Having been spoiled on bottled water, the change was a little difficult. However, after hearing all of the negs about bottles and the environment, we decided to try this thing out. The good news is, it does what it says and so far we've had no problems. The installation was extremely easy and the green light is a nice touch. The only problem that I have with it is how bulky it is. Depending on the size and shape of your sink, it can get in the way of doing dishes and what not. However, overall, we are very satisfied with the product.

It took me 3 minutes to install the filter. It looks ok and it works as advertised. Very easy to use even for my 4 y/o. I have used the filter for 2 months already with no problems. Can't wait to find out if it really lasts for one year.

I've used this product for 2 years and am now ordering my third Filter. Each unit lasted a full year for me. I've tried many similar products and this one is easy to install and the unfiltered output is a normal force. The filtered water does take awhile to fill up a pan but, when I had a RO system it's all ready filtered water also had a small sized faucet for output.

I'm extremely disappointed that this product has been discontinued. The newest Brita is gimmicky and I don't want to pay for the gimmick (it shows you the particles taken out of the water).

I bought three of these filters because I reasoned that it was less wasteful to thrown out one complete filter system a year than to throw out three to five regular filters that the other systems used. I hooked up the first one and it worked okay except that as others have said the flow is greatly decreased and it takes a while to fill a glass. This I could live with thinking I was being less wasteful. Unfortunately, the system gave out after only three months. According to the instructions this system is supposed to handle 300 gallons of water. My wife and I live alone and we certainly did not use the 300 gallons of filtered water in three months. In fact, we probably use less than a half gallon a day. That means the filter should have lasted six hundred days. Not even close.

The Brita Disposable Faucet Filtration System is an excellent product. It is easy to install and easy to use. After 19 months of use, my first one is just now indicating that it needs to be discarded. I cannot buy the disposable model locally, and, rather than buy the type that requires a person change filters every few months, I have ordered the disposable system.

I live in a very old house with old, dirty pipes. When I don't filter my water, I get a disgusting film on the top of my tea.

When I use a pitcher filter (with a NEW filter), there's NO film. In fact, I know it's time to change the filter when the film comes back.

The first time I used this filter, right out of the box: lots of film. I've given it a week, and it's just as bad as ever. I'm taking it back today and getting another pitcher. (Which makes me mad, because I'd tossed the only one thinking this would be easier).

This filter simply doesn't work. People who say it works probably have decent water to begin with.

It lasted one month before the ring at the top where it connects to the faucet broke. Can't fix it. I'm out the money...never buy one again.
