5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome product., February 11, 2009

I'm quite surprised with what some reviewers are saying. I have own this about 2 months now and I absolutly love it. I haven't had any problems with the cartridges yet. I will admit that it doesn't give 75 drinks per cartridge as it advertises, but that fact that I got about 45-50 12oz servings out of it makes it well worth the price. So far I have tried the grape and raspberry and love them both. I think they taste exactly similar to the $1.25 per bottle water made my dasani and aquafina.

Plus the plain old water is really fresh and clear tastin.

1.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to like these, but...., September 13, 2007

By	Spinner's End (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

the cartridges do not last long enough for the price, even when they function properly. I am on my third cartridge. The first one worked well enough, but it only lasted a few days for my family of three. The second cartridge didn't work at all. The third cartridge dispenses about half of the time the button is pressed.

A few warnings:

---be prepared to push the flavor button several times to get any flavor at all
---the claim on the package that each cartridge can flavor up to 75 servings is absurdly optimistic
---the cartridge easily becomes dislodged from its resting place during use
---the pitcher must be refilled incessantly, as its filtered water compartment is quite small
---if you try to pour water while there is any water in the unfiltered reservoir, the lid will fall off

The good news is that the taste of the flavor additive is pretty nice, if you're accustomed to diet beverages.

I was hoping to keep a few water bottles out of the recyling bin or landfill and perhaps save a bit of money while doing so. I'm returning this product. I'll probably buy something similar in the future if a more reliable model is developed. Great idea, PUR, but poor execution....

3.0 out of 5 stars It's aiight..., September 8, 2007

By	C. Clement "SuperMom of 2 Sets" (VA Beach, VA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great flavor, kids like the taste. They especially loved the raspberry. However, I was disappointed with: 1) how many pumps it takes sufficiently flavor in the water (3-4 pumps/8 oz. cup), hence, 2) how often cartriges need replacement (about every 1-2 weeks in my house of 6). It says it's good for 75 uses... My kids are opposed to drinking plain water constantly and I purchased this as an alternative. Looks like I'll need more than 2 cartridges to keep the sanity around here. Although at this price... it might be worth it.
