LifeStraw Home BPA-Free Studio Water Filter Dispenser, 10-Cup, Icelandic Blue

This LifeStraw filter was bought for a hunting camp so we could filter creek water - so far so good. There have been complaints about the valve leaking, but I have not had any issues. We used this to filter water for four people, sometimes five people. Replacement filters are inexpensive, so stockpiling spare filters is not an issue. The filter speed was good for the first few months, then started to slow down after around 6 months of use - but flow rate was still good. Filter has been in service at the hunting camp for a year, and there are no complaints.

Worked well for 1 month and water tasted fine, then started to leak profusely one day in the fridge. I bought this to try despite all the reviews of leaking, hoping for user error or faulty batches, but I was wrong. Really wanted to use lifestraw to upgrade from brita, but the bigger one also has many complaints of leaking and the hand pour pitcher has lots of complaints of slow filtering AND requires being filled multiple times to fill it up once. Will probably be switching to culligan or zero water whatever, hopefully life straw can update their home dispensers.

I love this little water dispenser. It’s the perfect size for small kitchens. Easy to move around unlike other dispensers that are too heavy to move when full. No problems with the spout. No leaking and easy to use. I would place on a nonslip surface as it can move as your dispensing water. Not having nonslip feet is my only complaint. It’s easy to maintain and all the parts are accessible for cleaning. The filter is by far the best filter I’ve used compared to other brands. Removes all the smells and other nasties. Tested it with tap water, ran through the filter and used in my water distiller and it left almost no residue in the distiller meaning the filter removed almost everything from the water. The best thing of all is you only have to change the filter once a year and you can clean the filter between changes unlike other brands. You don’t have to worry about bacteria or mold making your dispenser their home. Overall this product is perfect and designed well.

I really like this item but the plastic rim at the top (it is something similar to styrene) that the lid fits into is quite thin and for me broke after about a months use. I glued it and hopefully it will hold

I got this water filter for home with my mom. It's easy to set up, easy to use, and the water tastes delicious. The only teeny tiny flaw is that droplet of water that lingers and falls after getting a glass of water. So, make sure to have a small water catcher of some kind under the lip or wipe off the last drop each time you get a glass so you don't get moisture accumulation. We're very happy with our filter!

It filters the water but it started leaking in less than a month

We’ve been using a LifeStraw pitcher for years and loved it. Our family has doubled in size since then, so I liked the idea of this bigger pitcher. It worked great for a little while and then one morning I woke up to find a puddle beneath it and on the floor, and my bottom cabinets were water damaged. The bottom nozzle just gives out and leaves a steady drip that can’t be fixed. I’m returning it and just getting another pitcher.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I picked this product over others because of its strong brand presents in the marketplace. Also, because of the work they do globally to support drinkable water. However, the unit I received has a slow leak. The unit drips and so I’m not able to keep it on the countertop without something under it. I was extremely disappointed that my system was faulty. I did not return it because I would like to support this company. I will have to find a different brand to purchase when the filter life runs out. Super disappointed!

It was good until the tap fell off shortly after it was used. Failed to thrive nor function. Also the product needs to be sold with a secure stand
