Bought this product about a year ago. After 12 months it developed a crack in the plastic body and started spraying water all over the place. Since the product came with a 5 year warranty I thought I would be covered. Ha... After an hour of discussion on the phone with customer service in India, I was told it was only a 1 year warranty. Insisting I know the difference between the number 1 and 5 didn''t help much. I ended up getting a 10$ voucher towards buying.... you guessed it.... another inferior Pur product.

Go for Brita at least they stand behind their products

Buy PUR FM-3800 Water Filtration System Now

I have owned this type of water filter for years. The first one lasted several years before finally breaking, requiring my buying a new one (fortunately, I bought it at Costco). This new plastic version is very cheap. Yes, it''s easier to attach to the faucet, but at the price of constantly falling off. Within a month, the attachment is stripped. Because I bought it at Costco, though, I was able to return it. I have now returned this stupid water filter THREE TIMES and need to return it again.

So don''t waste your money. Get another kind of filter. I''m still looking for one.

Installed OK and seemed to work fine for a couple of weeks. I now believe the filter use indicator is not working. This filter replaced another Pur filter that started squirting water from a crack near the filter indicator window (so I know how the filter indicator is supposed to work). I must say the replaced white plastic filter did last 8 years or so. A working filter use indicator would really be nice.

Also, 3-4 weeks into use, the bottom plastic chrome cover just popped off. I knew this would be "plastic" chrome, but it would look better with the faucet than white. Anyway, I should not have gone this cheap. It''s been disappointing. It would probably be better, if you like this kind of filter, to spring for the stainless steel version.

I''m quite dissatisfied with the quality of the tap water where I currently live. It has a bad smell and a significant aftertaste. Therefore, I used to buy gallon-size bottled water to prepare tea or to get fine drinking water.

The PUR FM-3800 cleans the tap water *really* nicely. No bad smell, no aftertaste. In my opinion, the quality of the filtered tap water competes with that of the locally sold bottled water and since putting a glass/bottle under the tap is way much more convenient than messing with purchasing, storing and pouring bottled water, I can highly recommend this product.

As for the design, this filter is a little bulky. However, its chrome finish makes it fit perfectly into my kitchen scene. The flip-to-use mechanism also renders it easy and convenient to use.

Again, I''d be more than happy to buy this product again (or a replacement filter).

I recently purchased the PUR FM-3800B water filter and installed it onto my brand new Kohler kitchen faucet. The plastic adapter screwed into the faucet just fine, but it leaks profusely with water streaming down into the sink, and this happens regardless of the position of the filter switch. After I wrote the manufacturer, in 2 weeks they sent me a set of adapters that were identical to the adapters that were in the original package. I tried a different adapter, with the same results. I returned the entire package to the vendor and got a replacement, with the same leaky results. After complaining to the manufacturer, their only response was that the filter system only fits 90% of the faucets out there, sorry, I must have one it doesn''t fit. Pretty lousy customer service. They certainly don''t stand behind their product.
