However, if a licensed plumber or contractor were to do something against the code, then they are in violation and may lose their license.

I will assume a lot of city plumbing codes require it. BUT, I have also seen many homes eliminate it. We don't have one due to a porcelin sink. Don't want to risk drilling a hole. Past two homes over 11 years have had a diswasher installed w/o an air gap. The MOST important thing is to have a HIGH upside down "U-loop" in the drain line, before it connects to the garbage disposer. This loops helps prevent back flow of water into the diswasher.
I agree a high drain loop works as effectively as an air gap. It's more about local building codes and what they allow or not, as opposed to what works.
This is a great little machine I installed it myself it took some doing, but I took my time and I didn't have a great drill to make the hole so that took a bit. It works great for my family of 3, but it is a smaller machine so it needs to refill more often, but it refills fast and stores plenty of water.
I read the filter issue everyone brings up at Costco has been resolved, they have the filters in stock always and they're decently priced. People don't like paying for filters in my experience, but to me it's totally worth it having a solid drinkable water supply.
As for other machines, the apex on Amazon gets great reviews and most machines are good, just please get a decent water to waste 1:1 ratio if you can, water is a finite resource and the newer machines waste even less water, ive seen the new machines making like a 3:1 fresh water to waste ratio.
The 5 filter 7 filter UV lights all that stuff is great, but just remember more filters more maintenance. Really what the average Joe should focus on is 3 filters at least,a large tank and a water making capacity that fits your family. The tankless ones are very nice too, I'd again focus on the production that will fit me and my family.
I'ma water nerd for me ROs are a must, I also have a kangen but those are different beasts.
Enjoy!!

I've installed RO systems with airgaps and the drainage noises are too annoying for my peace of mind.

industry standard 10" or 20" filter media
is just flushing money down the toilet
and limiting their filter media choices
which may vary widely by city used.
example is philly versus new york
philly needs metals and vocs
new york needs chloromine
