Verdict

Scores 8.75/10, tied for 10th of the 18 gravity filters we track. At $199.99 it costs less than the category median of $249. Its cartridge cost of about $35 a year is less than half the $168-a-year median of the 13 gravity filters with a stated cartridge cost. Its 1-year warranty is shorter than the 3-year category median.
