Midea Water Filter Jug

Its OK, but I won’t be continuing with it – This came with another Midea purchase (mini dishwasher) and I had just left it in its box until this morning. The jug and filter are of a completely different design to others I’m familiar with, though superficially appear the same. I followed the instructions for preparation to the letter, and found that I needed to waste something like 12L of… Read more

tap water before the filter was ready for use (that is, when no black water still comes out). The process is somewhat more complicated and lengthy than others, but I needed to give it a trial Overall, it took more than an hour to get to the point where there was water ready to drink.

Good points. 1. Great seal around the filter so water does not drop directly into the jug (this is mitigated in Brita and other jugs by having a small collector under the filter and this is why you cant use brita filters instead) 2. Nice electronic timer in the lid 3. Water fill hole has a pop-down lid

Bad points 1. Length of time taken to prepare the filter 2. Replacement required every 8 weeks 3. Cannot find a source of filters to buy, in any case. 4. Water tastes clean, but not much better than my own tap water.

Sadly, I think this will be going to recycling
