Nice to look at. Hopefully better water taste.

I had two considerations for this one - it really nice to see how water boils in it - and hopefully water should taste better in glass, rather than in steel.
I really see it fits both my criteria.
However I should note - it is somehow impractical in form. It is really difficult to pour water from it into the teapot / mug, because of the kettle form - you have to tilt it almostly upside down.
Either there would always be some water left out or you risk to spill boiling water...
So four stars from me. ;)

I got this as a Christmas gift. I like this design more than others because there is no straw to get moldy. I am hoping that the shape of the cylinder and mouth piece will lend themselves to easy cleaning. The drinking part is a bit odd at first; not easy to figure out if the water is going to flow one way or another.

Been using this a couple weeks now and it seems to do a great job filtering. My main concern was fluoride chlorine and Lead the water taste way better than out the Tap! They definitely could use a redesign on the bottle but overall mine works good and the top on mine seals tight.

They are decent oem replacement for the more expensive GE filters. But the filtration quality is lacking. Leave the water tasting better than tap buy has a weird aftertaste.

Nice looking , working well. Hopefully it will last well.

the wide mouth is a little hard while walking sometimes. makes the water taste a little plasticy also. works well enough though.

The water doesn't taste as fresh as I like it.  Which may be from the cheap plastic tubing that comes with the filter itself, but I'm not sure the system is getting out much more than the stuff that will poison or choke me.  But I'm grateful for that.  I make a lot of tea and coffee with it, and it always seems fine.  I may need to change it more often than twice a year.  It is easy to install and reinstall.

Arrived today, as promised, 30 minutes had it set up, spigots installed and mostly filled with tap water.  No leaks, looks nice, now its performance remains to be seen.  Filter screen seems small.  The rain barrels that I have made in the past were designed with a deep opening for the downfall so that there is no "splash" problem.  I would prefer the 1/2 turn, 3/4" ball valve spigots.  I suspect that , at some point I will be modifying this one.  The fine screen should stop anything, even annoying grit from the roof but I suspect that it will take frequent cleaning. We'll see...

This is mostly what I was looking for, specifically trying to get away from so much plastic, which tend to add a bad taste. This Kanteen type is meant to fit in the normal bike cage bottle holder, but I could tell that it was going to get scratched up pretty quick using the aluminum tube-type of bottle holder. So I switched out my bottle holder with a plastic type (looks more like a cup holder), which works better with this 18 oz. Kanteen bottle.

Lastly, the rubber cap I hope will lose it's smell. There's that characteristic rubber tire smell in the little valve and while it doesn't taint the taste of the water necessarily, you can smell it as you drink so it's kind of the same thing. If you remove the top and taste the water, the water is fine. So maybe, over a short period of time, the top (rubber valve), will become scent free.

Takes a while to fill it up, but so far we are enjoying it. There is a big difference (for the better) in the taste of our water and i find my self drinking more because it is fresh and cold.

Got about a week's worth of tasty water. Now water tastes like butt. Not great.

Well i bought these filters and installed them. They initally left a slightly black sediment at the bottom of the filtered water side containment. I flushed that down the drain as well as the 2nd round of the initial use. After that the water tasted great and I was very excited to not need to purchase any bottled water. However just a few days later my wife mentioned a metallic taste to the water. I initially thought it was the storage container we are using but it was coming directly out of the filters. Going to see if they can be refunded or replaced with a new set and hope that i have better luck. I have no idea why the taste has changed.

Just got it and looks good and taste well so far. I can not give it a five stars as yet.

Good product so far, as I just replaced the filters. Really don't know yet but the filters did not look top quality

So far, so good! We just changed our filter yesterday, but it seems to be working well and the water tastes great! :)

12 Aug 2016 - Wanted to do an updated review for this...We've now had this filter installed for a little more than 6 months...When I first changed it out, my wife noticed a difference in the taste of the water and she started getting headaches...we didn't want to blame it on the water, so we pressed on...my wife actually began drinking bottled water and the issues mostly went away, (she only drank the refrigerator filtered water occasionally) but it did seem to bother her less as the months went by...fast forward to 6 months later, and it's time to replace the filter...I replaced the filter with the second of three filters I purchased, I didn't tell my wife when I changed the filter out...the very next day, she immediately noticed the difference...she said the water tasted "icky" and that it had a chlorine taste to it...she also came down with a headache after drinking the water.  Long story short, I cannot stand by this particular water filter and I, of course won't buy it again.  I just ordered some new ones and they can't get here fast enough as far as I'm concerned.  I personally can't taste much of a difference.  I hope this next filter doesn't cause the water to have a bad taste or my wife to have headaches...we are once again buying bottled drinking water at least until I install the new filter.

original review:
the end with the grommet is just a tad small.  When I insert it into the place that holds the filter, it is not as tight as it should be.  It stays in place, but not very tight.  Every other filter I've used stayed snug in place, this one wiggles a bit.  Hopefully that does not affect filtration too much.  It's almost time to replace and I hope the 2nd of the three fits tighter than the first!  I'll likely find a different source for these filters.

The water wasn't as clear as i'd like it when it arrived ! Other than that . . .. . . as advertised.
