“The reason I gave the Berkey 4 stars not five is due to the very basic engineering of the unit. It doesn't empty without tilting, the bottom chamber creates a vacuum and the water doesn't flow properly without manually breaking the seal by lifting the top unit a bit and my original, very expensive sight glass spigot leaked all over the floor. The replacement one is perfectly fine. All these things would be fine in a cheap unit but this is not a cheap unit and therefore expectations a rightly higher.”
“Size of travel model is ideal for a small kitchen countertop. Very happy at the idea that I am reducing my toxic chemical intake from tap water, but it's a real bonus,too, that the water tastes a whole lot better using the filter. Although not complicated to prime the filters, I am not great with written instructions and found it a bit tricky, but the vendors were extremely amenable in talking me through it over the phone and dealing with me calling back a couple of times to ask more questions. Superb customer service! Thank you.”

“Buying a Berkey filter had been on my shopping list for a long time. From my extensive research I had concluded that it is the best available filter. I was hesitant buying it due to cost and benchtop space issues but I finally decided that my health is far too important and purchased the filter.
As a single user, the Travel Berkey suits me very well. The initial setup and assembly takes a bit of time but once it is done you get good, pure drinking water. I have been drinking Berkey water now for more than a month and I am glad I purchased it.

“Nice clean tasting water with big carbon filters doing a great job.But i don't use the fluoride filters because it releases alumina bidding with fluoride in the drinking water so it get rid of one evil and replaces it with other evil.”
