.....and the "plastic coated chrome-look finish" water spotted almost immediately and couldn't be cleaned or polished into an appetizing appearance--big yuck. The horizontal style should be an improvement, however I found the filter much more difficult to remove than the older white vertical Pur I'd replaced. The final straw was last week, when an overwhelming stench issued from the filter--I'm assuming perhaps the indicator failed and somehow the filter became contaminated....I loved my old clunky vertical Pur, and I do believe overall Pur makes a good product, but this one is not it.
