2 leaks + 1 broken pitcher + 1 broken counter =  4 PROBLEMS.

This "worked" for less than two weeks before the actual pitcher broke. Was planning to return anyways because upon watching the water filter, I noticed two leaks - one on each side the the filter. How does this product not have a seal built in around where the filter is inserted? Adjusting the filter many times in various ways did not fix the leaks. Additionally, my counter started on 16 days...it wasn't until I came on here to write this review that I found out I was cheated re: that. Quality control problem. Don't waste your $ on this alkalizer unless you want to drink partial faucet water and deal with broken plastic. Zero stars.

I've been through at least three Pur filter units in the past few years, the most recent being the FM-3700B. It's a total disaster, worse than the previous units. Supposedly its merit was that it attached to the faucet via a click-on system, but that is its chief defect. It leaks and sprays water all over the place, even with the replacement adapters the company sent me after I complained on the Internet. The present unit also leaks/drips water from other places, which makes me wonder whether these added drops are filtered or unfiltered. I have no way of avoiding them. Bottom line #1: whoever designed this unit should be sent back to the asylum  permanently. Bottom line #2: whoever is manufacturing these units should be sent back to building manure spreaders. Bottom line #3: DON'T BUY THESE THINGS until the company cleans up the design and the manufacturing quality control.

Note: I bought this pitcher ($39+) and 3 replacement filters at Target. That said, this is absolutely THE WORST pitcher of any kind that I have ever experienced! DO NOT BUY THIS! I'd return it and get my ~$50 back had the charge slip not been thrown out.  It leaks Unfiltered water over the counter, table, floor, laps....when you're trying to pour UNLESS there is absolutely NO water in the "pour tray" (place where Unfiltered water goes--it's colored blue in the illustration on the page). And the filter that came with it quit working (no matter how hard it was shaken, PUR's directions for a sluggish filter) in the first week -- so I used a new replacement filter and now that's (less than a month later) not working. I wish my old PUR pitcher hadn't broken!!!  This version is just plain AWFUL!!!!

Arrived with both spigots broken and after contacting Amazon about this issue, I still haven't received a response. Today, we finally got some rain, but to our disappointment, the rain barrel was leaking water from multiple spots along the right seam.... so frustrated and disappointed with this purchase. I was trying to conserve water and save energy only to blow my hard-earned money on a piece of crap!

I was unfortunate to get one where the filter doesn't properly get in and hence you get water leaking through the sides. Had that not been the case, getting 18 cups without having to replace the pitcher would have been nice :)

The product is a good concept, and for some reason I believed the Bissell brand would indicate that it was a well-designed product.

However it has been less than a year and we have had two units of these break in our house in the same way. Both times the wet applicator stops work, thereby removing the mop functionality. The first time this happened we exchanged it, now we are working to return the second one that broke in the same manner.

Customer service has been very very mixed. On one occasion a customer service rep told us it was a piece of crap product and hung up, on another occasion a customer service rep gave us an address of a shop to replace it that was 500+ miles from our house, another customer sevice rep forced us to buy an $18 part to "fix" our second broken unit which of course solved nothing as the unit didn't suddenly work when we put in the new part. Sometimes we reach someone who is helpful from their customer service, then we have to ruin a weekend going to some service provider and waiting for them to tell us it's broken and give us a new one. If it didn't cost so much we would've probably stopped dealing with this hassle.

Terrible product, terrible customer service (mostly), will never buy Bissell again. STAY AWAY

There's a rubber gasket around the mesh screen filter where this unit connects to your faucet; it's either poorly made, poorly secured, or both, because it's prone to warp during even normal use, causing water to leak out of the device and dribble down the sides. The first unit we got began leaking within a week or so of its initial use. To their credit, Brita replaced it free of charge, with no hassle, when we called them about it. But the second unit lasted maybe a few months before it, too, began to leak. When I attempted to remove and refasten the unit, hoping that would solve the problem, the leaks just got worse and worse, until water was leaping in jets from the area around the faucet every time we turned it on, and unfiltered water was dribbling into the stream of filtered water whenever we tried to use it. We ended up just throwing the entire thing in the trash; we barely got through one, maybe one and a half filter cartridges between both units. I salute Brita's excellent customer service, but I wish their build quality were equally impressive.

Expensive and difficult to program. I have had this for six months and it worked perfectly for 4 months. But it has too many issues and which contradicts one of the reason of getting an aqua controller.  This unit is supposed to make life easier and it doesn't.

1. The digital screen has gone out.
2. The manual buttons no longer work
3. The units outlets no longer respond to Internet commands even though it is connected to the Internet.
4. Several outlets have stopped working entirely.
5. The automatic feeder had stopped working completely
6. Automatic feeder never Feed at the correct times.
7. Automatic feeder for physically get jammed and stop working.

At first it worked great but after calling for days I cannot reach anyone from customer service all I get is emails. If your looking just to get emails then yes there is excellent customer service because that's all your going to get. No one will explain to you what's going on other then copy and pasted emails. Going to file a complaint with the better business Bureau.

Update 8/31/15
I shipped the unit out for repair and apex is claiming water damage for a unit that never got wet. There requesting $40 to repair the unit. I keep this unit screwed onto a wall away from the tank.

I bought this pitcher at Costco. It has some problem areas. Because of the slanted top, unfiltered water can spill into filtered water. Also the lid falls off easily ... so pouring water out needs to wait until the unfiltered water has all drained into the pitcher. I have learned to secure the filter so it doesn't fall out, but you almost have to hold the lid in place. My biggest complaint about this pitcher is the seam around the wide part of the pitcher: algae grows there and it is impossible to remove. Consequently, an algae bloom will also occur in the bottom of the pitcher. That's yucky.

The first one I got had a bad temperature sensor and only showed the blue color. The second one is leaking internally. You also need a special plumber adapter if you live in the U.S. and have 1/2" water connections like I do. But, the hardware supply only had compression adapters which are too small for the 3/8" hose connections from this faucet. So, I found the right plumber adapter here one Amazon. Then, you have to drill a hole behind your sink to put in a screw to hang the battery pack, because the wires from the faucet are so short. Try screwing in a screw behind your basin. It is a nightmare. Then, I had to grind my center sink hole because this thing needs a larger hold and I had to grind back my new cover plate too, to accommodate it. And this thing is really loud. After all the investment that I have in this thing, time and money, hopefully the third one will work properly. I definitely wouldn't recommend this item. I'll update if the third one is defective too. I must have installed the first one right, because it didn't leak anywhere, but the temperature sensor was obviously defective. I've also installed glass shower doors and a waterfall shower. So, I am no amateur installer, and from my installation description, you can see that I know what I am doing. Nothing that I've installed have I had such a nightmare as this color changing waterfall sink. My bathroom is a mess, for two weeks now, and now I have to wait for a third one to clean it up. You have to use plumbers tape for any installation of this type. You also need plumbers putty so that water won't run under your sink from the holes in case you get water on your basin. This thing is an absolute nightmare.

Update: The third one seems to work and it doesn't appear to be leaking internally, although my bathroom was a mess for over a month. You can also reduce the water level at the mains to reduce the faucet noise.

Very disappointed.  Have three of these. Supply lines and pop up valves are faulty and leak on two of them.  Water all over a new vanity.  Not happy.

I have had this item for two years and let me echo what others have said: the drainage system on this rack is a disaster! Additionally, the metal spout fell off after less than six months.  I glued the spout back on, but the area where it was glued now traps gunk and is difficult to clean.  The real design failure on this product is the plastic channel that all the water drains into.  Its bottom is glued in place creating an enclosed area providing a easily seen breeding ground that *cannot* be effectively cleaned.  And both these problems could have been easily solved by making the spout out of the same plastic as the rest of the bottom and making the whole channel bottom so that it can be removed.  I hate it when a product is *almost* perfect, but an oversight  that could have easily been addressed ruins it.

We have had this less than 6 months and it already has a huge crack in the base of it, and leaks when we tried to use it.  The return window closed in September.  We thought ordering from the Vitamin company it would be some form of warranty, I guess not!&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Vitamix-64-Ounce-Container/dp/B001949IRM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Vitamix 64 Ounce Container</a>

They should rename this a disposable water hose filter  because it only runs good for a month before the water barely leaks out of the drinking opening. Even when I changed the internal filter, water would still drip rathern then flow. The problem is the faulty engineering, its NOT durable enough to maintain the constant water pressure the sink pipe puts out so its  internal canals gradually degrade and will not give you a big volume of water flow through the  drinking opening. The same goes for the Brita unit which also works good about 2-3 weeks until the water barely drips out. These faucet units are very sensative to water pressure and any pressure deviation will screw it up permanantley. Stay away from them and get a proven counter top or undersink reverse osmosis unit. BTW i'd give 0 stars if i could. Its completely worthless and should be taken off the shelves. Surprised consumer affairs hasn't filed suit against the makers of these faucet attachments

Last December I bought the BCO-130T machine.  I thoroughly enjoyed it - the coffee it made and the very good espresso and cappuccino.  It worked fine for awhile.  About June/July it started leaking water from the bottom of the machine.  I called the suggested repair facility in Virginia.  As soon as I started to explain the problem to the owner, he told me the problem and that it was common and the machine would be replaced.  I sent it in for repairs.  Well that process took about 8 weeks, an absolutely ridiculous amount of time.

I finally get a replacement and now a couple/few months later this new machine is also leaking.  So now I am two for two of machines that are defective and do not work.  Although I have "had" the machine for about 11 months I have not been able to use it but about 8+months.

I have no confidence whatsoever in going through the process again not to mention that I will again have to pay shipping and be without a coffee maker for weeks.  To spend ANY more money on this inferior product would be throwing good money after bad.

We had our shower remodeled to specifically accommodate this shower panel. It's great for a couple of weeks before the problems start. The FIRST one leaked at the handle where you turn on the water and had some light rusting. We called Amazon and they sent us a replacement. 4 months after installing the SECOND panel, the same exact issue with water leaking from handle and even more rusting where the waterfall feature is. The silicon/rubber nubs for the rain shower also spray crooked. I am extremely disappointed and upset because this is an expensive problem for us.

I was really excited when I found this countertop water filter system. It was pretty easy to set up and I waited with expectation as it ran through two cycles

 My excitement turned to irritation when it started leaking between the holding tank and the water that was already filtered. There is no kind of rubber seal between the two tanks. You can only fill the bottom tank halfway up before it will stop filtering through from the top.  If you still have water in the top it will start leaking because it has nowhere to go but out. This seems to be a common problem for similar models as this one. If someone could design one that has a rubber seal between the two tanks that would be wonderful! This one boasts  4 gallons  but in all honesty it may be holds only a gallon and a half on the bottom before it starts to leak.  Very disappointed! Please do not spend your money on this. And yes I did get it full refund.
