It passed the wife test.
Update: We have been using this machine for about a week and we could not be happier. We get consistent results processing around 2-3 gallons per day, and the water always tastes clean and crisp. We also did a blind tasting, among the members of the family, using Fiji bottled water and 3 out of 4 people had hard time to tell the difference or which one they prefer. I personally preferred the taste of Fiji water, but the difference is almost nonexistent. Fiji is rich in silica and that may have been what was the small difference in taste was, but again it was near to nothing. Original review: We live in Manhattan and we have soft water coming out from our tap, it normally tastes as tap water. For years we were using a caraffe and filter (Invigorated Water) and we were happy with the quality of that water, although we were also ordering a lot of Poland Spring 1-gallon bottles, probably well more than 500$ a year. Also, the caraffe filters were costing 200$ a year or more since they do not last longer than 3-4 weeks. With this system we can stop ordering water bottles all together, the resulting water is that good. I would say the resulting water is as good as the expensive bottled water like Voss or Fiji. Water was very good with zero bitterness from the get-go even without using the remineralizer cartridge. With the remineralizer it tastes a little different, but it was hard to discern. Anyway, since the re-mineralizing cartridges are only 30$ a year we will use them. It was well packaged, instructions are clear, and it looks very good on the counter, it has a reminiscence of Apple design. Our unit came with the re-mineralizing cartridge included as well. Anyway, so far, we are supper happy, it takes only 3 minutes and 20 sec for processing a full caraffe, and a full tank of water is enough to process water for filling 2 caraffe, which are 2.4 liters in total. It is quiet on operation and was very easy to set up. Read more
