The base is very nice and won't scratch my beautiful counter tops! I bought the Berkey for a small household and it's perfect!
Actually can really tell the difference between city water out of the tap and the taste of filtered Berkey filtered.
The Berkey was very easy to set-up and we love the taste of the water! All around great product - we also bought the stand from Amazon and that was a huge help with keeping our countertop organized.
Love the taste of the water! Have stopped using bottled water. Use it for ice, coffee & tea.
Easy to assemble and supplies the best tasting water EVER.
YouTube now has lots of contradicting opinions of the best gravity filter. Sadly, I initially ordered an inferior brand, but eventually got all Berkey
I love my new Berkey water filter!
It was easy to set up, although the instructions that came with it weren't very clear and I relied on YouTube to help me out. It is very easy to use - just pour tap water into the top compartment and the filter does its thing! Doesn't need electricity, doesn't need to be plumbed in, and I only need to refill it every other day. The water tastes great and even the ice cubes are almost completely clear!
Where I live the tap water is terrible, so I had been having to boil it every day, sometimes twice a day, since I moved in 4.5 years ago. The process was tedious - first boiling the water and then waiting for it to cool down before I could use it. Plus we have gas stoves here, so every day this process was pumping methane into the air - not at all good for the environment!
Now that I have the Berkey, I have clean, fresh water literally on tap, every day. I am thrilled with it!
We LOVE our Berkey water filter so much that I bought each of my daughter’s family one. I can’t believe how great the water taste especially when compared to the horrible water that comes out of the faucets in our home!
Product did not disappoint. Stainless steel is the best! Love the water freshness and knowing that we are eliminating so many contaminants in the water we drink using the filters. Spigot makes it easy to know when the water is low before it is completely emptied. Still adapting to the Travel Berkey and wonder whether there could be some way an indicator could be placed on the system to know when to change the filters besides keeping track of the gallons being used, etc.
Easy to set up and worked perfectly right away. Filtered water looks and tastes great, way better than from the tap
I had been drinking from a Berkey at my brother’s for the past 5 years. But always balked at the price. But this year when Milton hit I was without power and fresh water. I knew it was time to buy a Berkey. I should have done it sooner. The water taste great.
Easy to assemble, initial priming is a challenge the first time. Filtered water tastes great. So much better than filtering individual pitchers throughout the day.
Stand under the Berkey is helpful and stainless spigot with glass level is worth it.
The stainless spigot is great. I feel it’s cleaner than the plastic. But you have to really tighten it so that it doesn’t leak. Love my Berkey. Best water ever!
I bought the Big Berkey for my RV and use it at home when we’re not traveling
We were disappointed that it took weeks to receive our Berkey.
We love the berkey for clean fresh water and reducing the purchase of bottled water
Live it. Had to watch a YouTube video to put it together correctly
First time owning a Berkey and find it to be easy to use and tastes great! I have tried other water filters in the past but nothing compares to Berkey... the best tasting water!!!
Thank you for your Great company and great service! We Love our 1.5
Gallon Berkey. It’s the perfect size for the two of us. Easy to set up.
We found lots of videos on YouTube.
Most of All … Thank you for the crystal clear, pure clean water. It’s So important to eat healthy, but
equally important to drink healthy
water. We fill it up every day and Love, Love, Love our Berkey water !!
I was cautiously hopeful that it would meet at least half of my expectations, after reading countless comments, recommendations, reviews and articles written on this product.
After using it daily for more than a month, I can honestly say it exceeds my most hopeful expectations.
I do not mind the few maintenance steps as I value the quality of the water way more.
Now, if we can get the black filters situation resolved so we can buy them as needed without being on a wait list forever. Rooting for Berkey, as EPA interference is lacking every bit of common sense.
Shipping was backlogged, waited more than 3 months for my order. I have to call twice to keep up to date on status. No tracking number or shipping confirmation was ever sent.
A discount was offered but communication would have been even better than a $40 savings. It would offer piece of mind which is far more valuable.
Pro: Love the taste of the water
Con: it needs a visible gauge so that when top gets filled, it doesn’t cause leaks at midpoint. If base is full, and water is poured in, it leaks at seam.
It is great to be able to view the filtered water level in the berkey. Helps keep you from having an overflow problem or a not enough filtered water problem. In my opinion the berkey should not be sold without one.
I replaced my Big Berkey with this Travel Berkey. I like this size much better since it’s just myself and my dog using it. With the bigger chamber the water was sitting longer, now with the smaller I have a constant exchange of water and therefore the filters are used steadily and not drying out. Besides this size is so much easier to clean / handle Also I am still able to use the additional fluoride filters.
Needles to say, since I bought the second one, that I love the taste of the water. I gave the bigger one away and they love it as well.
Thank you Berkey. ❤️
