In a Nutshell
- Effective filter functionality but the built in heater lets the product down
- The heater keeps water significantly colder than the set point, even under the ideal conditions
- If additional heaters are added the water temperature stabilizes
Quick Verdict
The filter component is praised, but the heater functionality leaves much to be desired.
