Do not buy
"Do not buy this machine if you live in Hawaii. They charge you duties as if you are in another country for a simple replacement filter. After calling and emailing I am still unable to replace my filters!"

Reviews
Does the job
"I like the roommtemperature and hot water options. I wish there was an 8 oz and a 32oz option for filling containers."
Ok
"I think the system is good, has to be refilled a lot which kind of makes it a pain to refill. Piece of mind that you’re getting clean water but ambient not cold, the hot water is great for tea. I would recommend but it would be better to get a whole house filter installed."
A real legitimate review
"Overall just set up countertop reverse osmosis system and it seems to be working well. The amount of waste water is a bit ridiculous and would be better if it was just a separate tank. The directions do not tell you to leave the small area empty after you fill it after you flush the system. The reason I am saying this is because it is impossible to just pour out the waste water and not pour out whatever water is left in the regular side. overall though it filters water and from a visible and taste standpoint it is working. This is a real review and not some scripted advertisement like I read earlier."
Express water
"I love that it filters the water and you can get hot water also .very nice looking with a white tray . The Express water 5-stage water filtration . There’s a big tank in the back it’s very easy to fill"
Love this for our family!
"We love this Express Water countertop system! Our family drinks a lot of water, the kids take refillable tumblers to school and to soccer on the weekends. This system is helping us eliminate the use of plastic water bottles. I love the hot water feature for tea and hot cocoa I know the hot water feature will get lots of use during the cooler months. I love that the machine is compact and easy to fill. It was easy to set up, just plug in, fill up the jug and that’s it. Highly recommend this system!"
It's good if you can't get an under counter system
"I absolutely needed this filter. It's been missing in my life, was drinking years of Brita water living in LA, and I feel so much better drinking safe clean water. It made LA water great to drink, which is a miracle. Apartment living doesn't allow you to install under the counter ROs, and this was a perfect compromise. If you do have the option to install under the counter, I would pick that option in my own opinion. Pro Tip: Some of the reviews mention you need to refill it often. You can fill both sides of the tank with tap water, letting you make less refill trips. It will just push the tap water out of one "dirty" into the "clean side" and slowly replace it with the "brine." Super pro tip... if you are concerned about waste water, use it around the house for plant water. For two people, we probably refill it every other day, which isn't bad! The biggest plus is the hot water. I threw away my old kettle, and can enjoy a hot cup of tea whenever! All together wonderful device, if I had to pick a complaint it would be the biggest a 32 oz water bottles don't fit, so you have to do it at an angle (or remove the water tray). Second the child lock is annoying, I wish you could disable it. They also released a re-mineral version after I bought mine, I wish there was a conversion kit as the machines look identical. Last, it does take some patience if you fill over a liter of water, it will take possibly 2 minutes for it to make more water. All very minor annoyances for the benefits it gives."
First Impression 5 Stage Counter Top RO
"Was looking for something portable and I won’t have to mess around under the sink. This model is Easy to install. Easy to run. Seems decent built. Heavy with water inside. Water tastes good. With raw water TDS of 230-250 to 5-7 after filtered. Takes up a bit of space, especially vertical clearance because you have to lift water tank out and put it back in. Water tank needs to be empty of waste water and refill raw water very frequent. Every few cups and waste water tank probably full and needs emptying. Which means taking the water tank out and dump all the waste water and refill raw water in. I can see this will become tedious pretty quickly. So i drilled a small hole into the side of the waste water tank and connected a drain tube out into the sink. This way, i wont have to keep pulling out the whole water tank and dump out waste water and refill. Now i could just lift the top tank cover and pour in new raw water, which is so much less work and makes life easier."
Easy to set up and use
"I set this up very easily, and it's very attractive on my counter. Setting up the water tank took a little time but wasn't difficult at all. Once set up, it's really just a couple of button presses to dispense water, from cold to lukewarm to hot. (The ability to make hot water removes the need for an electric tea kettle which was a nice surprise.) The water definitely tastes filtered and a little better than tap water. It's definitely a useful device and one I can see plenty of uses for down the line!"
Finally! Great tasting water without plastic.
"I'm amazed at how delicious tasting this water is. My son easily installed it for me and after he tasted the water he said what a great Christmas gift this would be (hint hint). I'll see what I can do about that."

- Does the counter top unit remove nanoplastics from bottled water?
- Yes, the countertop reverse osmosis unit can effectively remove nano plastics from bottled water due to the fine filtration of the RO membrane. The membrane filters water down to 0.0001 microns, which is small enough to remove nanoplastics, as well as other contaminants like PFOAs, PFOS, and other chemicals. The system’s purification process ensures that these contaminants are rejected and flushed out, leaving behind clean, purified water. For removing PFOAs and PFAS, reverse osmosis is one of the most reliable methods, rejecting up to 95-97% of these substances, along with other harmful chemicals like fluoride, arsenic, and bacteria.
