We bought it, $450+ dollars. The filters take out everything except salt. The water is terrible, ok for cooking, still can’t drink it, still buying water.
Wife looks after it, but the filters seem to last a while between cleaning. Takes about 2 hours to filter a tank full of water.
All in all, for our purposes, it’s junk.

I have the complete opposite experience I wouldn't trade my Berkey for anything.
Filters are easy to clean, scrub with the pad provided and repurge.
My 6 gallon unit with 2 filters takes about 4 hours to filter a full reservoir.
You can add up to 6 more filters each wil increase filter speed.
Spigots flow depends on how full the reservoir is, takes 30 seconds to fill a two litre jug until nearly empty.
Buy the stand and the santevia alkaline mineral stones.
Best money I EVER spent.
Best water I have ever consumed.period.
