It does what it promises and has a long usage duration. Especially in water with a lot of chlorine, you can taste the difference. It showed an indicator at 10 months of use with moderately hard water. I didn't encounter any problems even with water that has a lot of minerals (hard). Its price is affordable and reasonable, so I won't go for something imitation or similar for the espresso machine I have.

It does what it says.
It filters the water and you can tell every time you change it.
Overall, I am satisfied.

The product is backed by the Philips brand warranty, beyond that, the rest are details. I have had the machine for a little over a year and it is the first time I am changing it. (I expected the machine itself to indicate when to change it.) I believe the filter lasted so long due to using filtered water!! The installation is an easy task and the packaging came with instructions in Greek!

It's OK. With its use, there is no need for descaling the machine. The previous one lasted 8 months, a sufficient period for the machine's use.

It helps in the better functioning of the coffee machine (by preventing the accumulation of salts in the system). But also in the taste of the coffee itself, especially in areas with very hard water. It lasts accordingly for 6 to 10 months of use.

If you use bottled water, you don't need to buy this, but if you use tap water, it is necessary.

It does exactly what it says. And as for the duration, it probably depends on how many coffees you make, the hardness of the water, and not that it has a time limit. It indicated to me to change the filter after about 9 months and a few days...

In the manual it says to change every 1 to 2 months, but in my 1.5 years it gave me a change indication. The coffee maker makes 3-4 coffees every day. I only used filtered water, maybe that played a role too!

It does exactly what it says. And as for a comment I read about the duration, it probably matters how many coffees you make and not that it has a time limit. It indicated for me to change after 9 months.

It does a very good job but it requires attention to the type in order to get the right one. Read the machine's instructions to find the type of filter

Everything is perfect.

It does the job.
No matter what you do with the water hardness settings from the machine's menu, every 4 months it gives a message to change.
