I own this unit for a month. It works great, and I live in the desert with hard to believe amounts of calcium in the water (TDS 1350). Using the filtered water from this unit, my electric water pot bottom still has a mirror finish after a month, and it always has water sitting in it. Prior to buying this unit, it would be caked all over with white calcium. My espresso machine would need constant decalcifying too. No more.
This unit also holds 1.33 gallon in the main tank, and you get a gallon of pure water from that. Very little waste water, and twice the capacity of other popular countertop units. The two replacement filters, which are supposed to last 1 (PPC filter$30) and 2 years (RO filter $40) are cheaper than most. I use it everyday. It's totally automatic. Take off pitcher (comes with 2) and it stops. Main tank empty, it stops. Replace pitcher with refilled main tank, it starts again. Dispenses water too, in a glass or my coffee pot in the morning. I have a water carbonator too, and this machine is the first step before chilling and carbonation. Very cool appliance that has served my needs.

Seems like a lot of work- is this standard for filters like this?
Did you check the Amazon product photos as I suggested?
They want you to unplug, wait 5 minutes, remove the filters, wrap the filters in cling wrap, place them in the fridge. then upon return, re assemble, fill to max line. and dump 3 pitchers worth of water down the drain to purge the system.
They are obviously being meticulous, because you would be asking "What about mold and mildew if I go away and leave it full of warm, stagnant water? Wouldn't the filters get moldy inside? How about that Mr. Fung?!"
Good god man, I hope your 13,000 posts aren't all like this! You show your interest in a product by complaining about the very responsibly outlined procedure if one does not use it? A very simple, practical procedure at that! Talk about first world problems, LOL!

But I know you're just making false accusations because that's who you are.
Ask me a silly question, just to further your post count, and I'll reply to you in the same way I did sarcasmogratis. I'm an adult, and I'm not here to suffer fools. My tone is harsh now because the guy actually pm'd me. He said I was pedantic because I looked for a photo when he told me to, and then pointed out to him that it was a video, explaining my inability to find it the first time. That pm was inappropriate in my view. It's plain weird. Who does that? I pegged him right.
I am grateful I came across a link to a deal here, after a dozen years of inactive membership, and was able to purchase a refurbished AC unit at a great price. I posted 3 deals to pay it forward. One was hardly a deal at all, and I took my lumps. My overall view of social media however, is the same as Wednesday Addams: "I find social media to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation".

This childish "You work for the company" accusation (always made with zero evidence) never gets old for small people who have nothing to say, and are looking only for meaningless affirmation online. You're nothing but a dime a dozen internet troll, lol.
