I've always had Britta filters for my water and after getting this just reinforces why i would never change to anyone else. This stylish filter looks very sleak, and wouldn't look ugly on any work surface. The quality of the water it produces is excellent. You can really taste the cleanliness of the water and it seems to remove almost all impurities. You can definately taste the difference between brita filtered water and any other water, especially tap water as it is just so much smoother. The capacitly of this filter is also a very good size, having it any larger would make it too heavy when full. The filters are very easy to replace and can be found at most supermarkets and domestic shops across the country. They are too very good value although depending on use, the filter may have to be replaced quite regularly. Overall though, this filter is worth paying a little bit extra for, a Star buy!
