KFLOW Reverse Osmosis System, Countertop RO Water Filter, Tankless Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System with 4-Stage Filtration Tech, Filter Life Monitor, Zero Installation (KFL-ROPOT-180 Plus)

I was a bit skeptical of the water filtration system at first as I had wanted to buy a filtration system that attached directly to the sink. But due to issues that presented itself with conversion issues, I decided to take the leap of faith and buy.The initial setup was quick and easy when it arrived and we were easily able to find a place to put the machine without having that much clutter. The machine is also relatively straightforward and easy to use although there may be some minor issues that may cause the water to not dispense such as water levels, waste water not being replaced, etc.In terms of the actual system itself and the filtration of water, let's just say we live in an area that used to be a huge manufacturing plant for Northrop and them dumping huge amounts of toxic wastes in the soil that seaped through to our water. After using a TDS meter and first tatsing, I'd have to say I'm ver pleasantly surprised and satisfied. Not only does it have solid filtration but the water tastes great and it's very simple to use. In terms of service, our machine ran into issues with when the pump promptly stopped working. I emailed the provider and after walking through the steps on proof we were able to recieve a brand new machine free of charge and shipping!

I was excited to purchase this RO machine. I like the design especially that the clean water goes in a glass pitcher.However, I requested a replacement for the item which came very fast. It seemed that they sent me someone's KfLOW machine. No instructions in the second box and it was packaged terribly.It was an absolute waste of water!!! I had done 25 flushes in order to get to at least 40 On the TDS. Never happened. The water stayed at 239. No customer service to reach out and get help. I followed the instructions to the T...and they are very limited!Returning the machine and will buy a different brand. For $399 no customer service, limited instructions if any and not sure if this machine works as it is promised in the description.

Update: I've been using KFLOW for about 6 months now with no problems. I went back to my name brand water from a plastic bottle for a day & I never realized how there is a strong plastic taste to the water from plastic bottles. With the water from KFLOW there is no taste which is wonderful! After 6 months of use, none of the 4 filters need to be replaced yet.My husband & I previously had to buy & store at least 6 one liter water bottles per day for drinking & cooking. This took up a lot of space not to mention the toll on our backs. In addition, we are hopefully saving the environment by not using all of those plastic bottles. There was no installation required except for plugging it into an outlet & filling it with water. The water out of our faucet tastes horrible, but this water purifier removes that taste. We use it daily for drinking & cooking. Love it so far!

I love this filter. I’ve had it for about seven months and use it daily. My apartment has terrible water, but this cleans it right up. It is the only absolutely essential item in my kitchen.7 month update:I moved to a place with worse quality water, and have been using the filter 1-2x every day.It works as well as it did when new, and hasn’t had any issues.*concerns*I think there are three design flaws, but they haven’t been an issue so far.1. The custom filters - hopefully some are available when I need to order new ones in a few months.2. The plastic water bin with its plastic handle - the handle is held in place with plastic inserts in the bin. I think this is the most likely part to break. Water is heavy, and plastic gets brittle over time. I don’t see replacements online, and it would be a pain to refill without the handle.3. (mild annoyance) there is a shutoff valve where the water pours out that is only opened by inserting the caraf. If the caraf breaks you are out of luck on using the filter ... unless you tape the valve open so you can use any container, which is what I did.*Would I buy it again?*It depends, it’s been a life saver, especially living in a tiny apartment without a true kitchen. I always have clean water on tap.If I had a kitchen sink though, I’d probably look for an under sink unit with standard filters.

I'll start by saying, I know that RO portable filters have water wastage.There is nothing wrong with the filter, works great, water tastes good and looks good. Those are the pros. Good job.Now for the issues:1. The jug is hardly 1.5 l, so if your are thirsty, be ready to be thirsty for a while. If you had friends, well, it's safer to have bottled water.2. Though the desc mentions, you can try and reuse the water in tank by adding water to it, you have to trick the system to do that. You pick the tank up, put it back and refill. So ideally, it's not a feature, it's a hack.3. The jug has a special top, which hits the top and let's the filtered water to pour. So ideally, if the jug breaks, you HAVE to get a replacement, can't use your vessel/cup to fill.4. Cleaning the tank is super painful.Update: Aug 2020Please note that the filter level on the display is wrong. It showed 2 points and our water stopped. We wasted 2 weeks trying to extract as much as we can and for rest we ordered out. Later filter order took almost a week, but it came faster than mentioned (points for them). And as soon as we change, the water came back. No warning, wrong display, gave us unnecessary trouble. So lesson learned, if water level drops, change filter. Filter came from Dec to July, 7 months.Update oct 2020:The filter change also stopped working after a few days. Now its a $400 loss of space.

U have to dump water all the time after it’s being filtered. First u put water to filter, after u dump left over water. And over again. It’s annoying. More work for little amount of water. Find something else.
