Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I felt the need to switch from 2 five gallon jugs with the cold/hot dispenser to the PUR 18 cup dispenser, because: 1) I got really tired of lugging/schlepping/dragging 2 of those to the machine at least twice a month 2) Call me crazy but I did not trust the keeper of the machines to properly care for the machines, at least with the PUR dispenser I know I will care for it and change the filter 3) I would at times run out of water in those jugs and then be forced to use bottled water (which I only have in the house as backup) and then be running out after dark to have those jugs refilled, and that probably wasn't the best idea when it comes to safety. One thing I will miss about the jugs and the dispenser, is that it had hot water along with cold, but the amount of times I would use the hot water does not make me regret making the switch to the PUR Dispenser. I have notices that it lasts a good while in my fridge, and filters A LOT quicker than I expected. The taste is very good and a total change from my Long Beach, CA spigot water. It takes up virtually no room up in my fridge, which is nice, and is very easy to fill. The handle feels very sturdy and even has some quick snap back, so be careful but it will flip up very quickly! I would say that if you are looking for a new solution to clean, fresh water, and you drink a good amount of water, or use a good amount for cooking, look no further because this is the product for you. I have told a few friends about this product and they are interested and I know one is going to end up getting it. Even if you do not drink that much water, this is much better than the water pitchers (7 cups for the pitcher compared to 18 for the dispenser) because the pitcher you will have to be filling up twice as much. The dispenser is only $10 more on Amazon, so why not just save yourself some time and get the bigger one. The space it takes up in the fridge is hardly noticeable, and I will post a few pictures to show you. This dispenser is a win and seems as though it will hold up for a good while, because it feels as though it is built with quality.
