PCB Filter $50, change every 6 months to a year
https://www.amazon.com/Brio-Repla...0B638RQ
RO filter $150, change every 12 to 24 months
https://www.amazon.com/Brio-Membr...0B5YHK2
assuming they both last their max lifespan, that's $125 per year.

I love the iSpring except for the space it takes up under the sink and when cooking it can be easy to drain the tank faster than it can refill (although larger tanks are available). Sam eunit since 2014 is low maintenance and has never given me any trouble.
These new on-demand RO units are so much smaller footprint under the sink, and the idea of never running out of filtered water is compelling. Live TDS meter is great for knowing when you *really* need to change filters, not just when it's recommended (but you can buy a cheap TDS meter separately too). The filters seem much easier to change. But they need power to run the pump, which is an extra hassle. I wonder if pushing the water through the RO membrane might wear it out faster, plus with 4 stages combined into two filters may mean they need changing more frequently (my iSprings go for almost twice as long as recommended) and as another SDer mentioned they are a bit pricey. Strange I could not find this model on the Brio website, but it looks like they have been around at least 6 years and have a large product line (including industrial), so hopefully that means they will keep producing filters.

However, I dread changing the filters more than doing my taxes. Every single year, I know I'm in for 4 hours of cursing and misery and wetness.
I'm so tempted by a machine like this because the filters are so easy to change. What is weird is that the ispring has 3 canister filters (stages 1-3) that are very easy to change. Why on earth can't they just do 4 more canister filters? Instead, you need to thread tubes and add plumbing tape and leak test and $&@?!!!? Their customer service is very good but the product design is just horrible.
