So far so good. I have not been able to test the water but it does taste great. I had no issue with the predrilled holes as they aligned just fine. I followed the instructions and had no leaks with the spigot either. I actually received two spigots too... I can see what people mean about the last inch of water being unobtainable but honestly you can just lift and pour into a glass/pitcher. It's not that much of an inconvenience. My complaints are the inner tub being plastic so that you can pull the filter through tight enough to form a seal. They could have done an inner glass with rubber gasket ring but obviously that would make it heavier, cost more, and more accident prone. The logo that is printed is also off centered and crooked. It's not right above the spigot and it's also angled off. It does not bother me but it may bother some with OCD. Overall, this filter gives me peace of mind. Especially with hurricane season approaching. I could see it being nice for a camper too if you are careful with the glass.
