RO100ROPOT-Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter

I've been using this for about 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The water produced is absolutely high quality and the filtering is very effective. My apartment must have been using a water softener or something because it introduced a silty briny taste that a standard drip filter couldn't filter out, but luckily this machine does the job very well. It produces clean pure water, but what usually makes water taste good is the minerals so with this having the filter in the canister to add minerals it brings back most of the good taste you typically find in spring or other bottled water but maybe like 80-90% equivalent. Other reviews mentioned issues with leaking, but I didn't experience that at all. It does produce a few drops of water as you remove the water tank from the machine though. Besides that the machine does not stop itself from over-filling the water jug so if you don't have either an empty jug or do the half-fill mode when it's at or less than half fill the jug will overfill and leak. But with proper usage it does not. I've loved this over buying water bottles not only for the cost savings but also to significantly reduce plastic waste and to also not have to carry massive water jugs or packs of water. I was debating on this smaller unit or their slightly larger capacity one, while I found this lite model to be very compact and usable for a small number of people (2-4 i'd say, with maybe 1-2 that drink less water) I will say that you do have to drain and fill the tank quite a bit throughout the day for regular consumption. Each refill produces 3 full usable jugs (about 1 is left as waste water in the tank), and I refill the water at least 3-4 times per day typically for a household of one heavy water drinker and 2 lighter water drinkers. Since I'm the only one that fills it typically I do get slightly annoyed, so keep that in mind when deciding between the two models, but I'm still glad I got this size and still find this to be a superior option over buying water.

I bought the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter after hours of research over a week or two. I considered many brands and decided on the Bluevua Lite (UV). Mainly because of its compact size and overall performance reviews. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter looks and feels premium and very well made. The unit is very quiet and fairly quick to filter water. The filtered water is very good. I prefer it to many premium bottled waters, I won't list names, but some are European and not cheap! I use the included remineralization filter to add beneficial minerals back into the water. I would like to add that the water without the remineralization filter taste great as well. The unit does take some time to setup initially, because of the required flushing of the filters when first using it. But it's a necessary evil that all RO systems require! I really like the all-digital touch screen display. It's very easy to use and the screen displays all the necessary info. I like the sturdy glass pitcher over plastic ones that other brands tend to use. It holds 40 oz. of filtered water. I purchased an extra glass water pitcher, so I always have fresh filtered water, cold in the fridge! I drink a lot of water throughout the day. I've been using a quality gravity filter pitcher for years. Recently the brand was bought by a large water company and even though they made improvements to their filters for longer life and made improvement to their pitchers. The filters are not compatible with the old-style pitchers, very frustrating! I looked into a new pitcher only to learn the new owners eliminated the handy pour spout on their new pitcher. A feature I loved! So, I said, the heck with them! Their filters are the most expensive on the market for a pitcher gravity filter anyway! The Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter has a filter that last a year with regular use. The filter averages $70 - $80 to replace yearly. Not the lowest priced or most expensive. Pretty average! The filter on the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter is a single unit. So, you only need to replace one because it has multiple filtration stages built into one filter! I also like the UV light purification feature as well to keep bacteria from forming in the filter and system. Many brands do not offer this feature and is a major reason I chose Bluevua! I also like the fact that this Bluevua system uses a regular electric cord and plug, instead of a power brick like so many other RO systems! Something a lot won't consider or think about till they unbox unit and discover a power brick and find out it takes up needed outlet space! The system produces about 3 gallons of purified water to 1 gallon of wastewater. Which is better than average for a countertop RO system. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with my Bluevua purchase and highly recommend it! UPDATE: A short update after owning the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter for a month. I have been testing the TDS of the water regularly. My water here in Pennsylvania is a very good 30 -34 ppm TDS straight out of the tap (most municipal water in PA have a low ppm TDS reading fortunately!). So, the RO system doesn't have a lot of total dissolved solids to remove from the start! I mostly wanted to remove the chlorine and disinfection chemicals used in all municipal water supplies in the U.S. My reading on the filtered water from the Bluevua system have been a constant 0 ppm reading on my test meter for water without using the included remineralization cartridge. Using the remineralization cartridge, I'm getting a solid 4 ppm TDS reading, which is great! The remineralization cartridge adds back into the water beneficial minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium. This enhances the taste as well. Overall, I prefer the water taste using the remineralization cartridge over not using it. Either way the water taste great! The Bluevua system continues to work flawlessly, and I use it daily! Very satisfied with my purchase decision! I highly recommend the Bluevua brand RO systems!

This is probably one of the better purchases I've made. I recently moved into a neighborhood that has gross water. It smells and tastes like chlorine. Very noticeable. I had bought a pitcher type water filter and it did okay. Better than from the tap. I didn't even let my cats drink the tap water. Since I am removing plastics, I wanted a water filter system that removed nearly all impurities. I had previously had a RO system in my other house and it was useless as drinking water because of the minerals being removed. I quickly learned not to use RO for my drinking water so I wasn't even considering RO until I came across this machine. I love it. It's a little bulky on the countertop but honestly it's not much bigger or maybe even smaller than a fancy coffee/espresso maker. It's pretty quiet. The sound of the dripping water is what you notice and even that isn't loud or annoying. It "brews" pretty quickly. I haven't timed it but it's fairly fast. The fact that it puts the minerals back in is precisely why I bought this. Love telling my friends to hold on I need to brew us up some water. One thing I noticed right away is that I am drinking more water. Like 5x more than I used to. That's a win. I also use the water from it in my nugget ice maker and it's perfect ice, clear and not cloudy. The setup instructions were clear and I had it flushing within 20 minutes of opening the box. The filtration is very good. The water has no taste. Just tastes clean if that makes sense. The reservoir seems overly large despite pretty much getting only one full pitcher and then you need to add more water or you'll get half. It doesn't bother me but it might others so it's worth noting. There is a handle on the water reservoir to make it easy to remove, clean and fill. I keep a glass pitcher in the fridge and when it gets low, I brew up another batch of perfect water. I'll be traveling to my son's house in IL for the holidays and I'll be bringing my Bluevua with me. They have horrible well water and buy cases of water by the car load. It's likely santa will put one of these under their tree this year. I have not yet had to replace the filter yet but it looks to be pretty easy and straight forward. If you are on the fence, this is a great one to get.

I was so happy to have this Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite machine and not need to go to costco and lug home heavy cases of RO water anymore I thought I had finally found a solution to getting clean water right at home. However about a day after I started drinking this water I started to have heart palpitations which continued to worsen over the next few weeks. I never once considered it was from my water as it tasted and looked clean and is supposed to have been stringently tested to be safe and clean. I was becoming concerned about my health and about to see about getting an appt with a cardiologist. I decided to do that after my daughters birthday which I had planned a 4 day trip to Seaworld. I decided to just drink bottled water at the hotel since it was only 4 days and I had enough stuff to take already and didn't want to take the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite( machine . After one day of being at the hotel and drinking bottled water my heart palpitations stopped. and they didn't come back the whole time I was at hotel drinking bottled water. When i got home I tried drinking water for a day but had removed the mineral cup in hopes that was the issue and I wouldn't have to return my beautiful machine....nope, heart palpitations started again after a day of drinking the water. There is something leaching into the water and it is very dangerous! I am healthy and have never had any issues with my heart. After doing much more research on these countertop RO systems it seems they all have issues with the filters leeching chemicals into the water and no it doesn't stop after running a certain amount of water through the filter as I had used mine for a month every day it was still making me sick. This company and the rest of them should be ashamed of what they are doing to peoples health and misleading people just for the all mighty buck! I should have sent this machine and water to be tested and brought a lawsuit against them for putting my health and well being at risk. And now to add insult to injury the machine is mysteriously and indefinitely delayed in transit via UPS and they are wanting to refund me less than what I paid so I had to put a charge back with my credit card company. I sure hope someone brings a class action law suit against these companies but unfortunately many will be sick before that happens.

I live in an area that gets it water from a limestone aquifer this makes our water extra hard. We had a 7 stage under sink system at our old place, but we recently moved into an apartment, so under sink systems are out of the question. I spent a few dehydrated weeks looking for an affordable counter top RO system. The company that made our old system has a counter top version, but it's twice the price... So this is the one I landed on. I struggled between the larger one and the smaller one but wtf am I going to do with 18 oz of water. That's like one gulp, so the small one was out of the question. Why I didn't choose the larger one: while it would be nicer to have more water at once, for me this is a temporary solution. We intend to move back into a home within a year. This will move to my work office when that happens and we will go back to an under counter system. With that knowledge I couldn't justify the extra money for the larger system, and the 3 replacement filters when it comes time. Plus it's only my husband and I so this is more than enough. I chose this one because I didn't want to wait for the water to filter and I didn't want plastic, so the glass carafe is nice, there are some models that store water in an internal reservoir, but you can't clean it. So glass carafe won. Things I wanted to know but no one said anything yet. 1) Flow Speed - Speed is identical to a standard drip coffee maker. After you get it set up it takes about 4-5 min to fill one carafe. 2) Capacity - the carafe is a little more than a a liter. Around 35oz... You can expect to refill your reservoir after filtering 2 full carafes (70 oz/2 liters). You will dump out about a liter of water. So 2:1. 3) Carafe Durability - I read some of the comments talking about the durability of the carafe. I would say treat this like a coffee maker carafe. It is just as thin, so even slight temperature changes can be problematic. I just bought 4 thicker glass carafes with lids, filled them with the filtered water and put them in the fridge. This solves 2 issues... I don't have to wait for cold, filtered water, and I don't have to worry about the carafe breaking because it just lives in the machine. 4) Taste: water taste great, not like nothing, but crisp and clean. I chose to not use the mineral filter, you can leave it out without impacting operations, which is nice. I kind of just feel like it's an additional cost that has to be replaced every 6 months. 5) Noise: this is essentially a Kurig. Instead of pumping water through a heater and coffee, it pumps water through an RO filter. So that's the same speed and noise of this machine. Honestly this is the best comparison. My concerns: 1) UV LEDs are ushualy effective for 10k hours and most people recommend changing them every year. There is currently no way to replace the uv filter/light. 2) The glass carafe is thin and pretty unique, so I would debate this if I had kids. 3) I like the one filter but idk how long it's going to last. Surprises in the manual/box: 1) Descale - your machine can slow down and may need to be descale every few month like a kurig. 2) It came with a infusion filter made of the same glass as the carafe. Maybe someone would get use out of it, but for me that just means I have to clean the carafe after using it. 3) It comes with some tools to clean, I haven't figured out how to use them.

Really great filter system. We have been using it for six months now, and it runs reliably without any issues. The water tastes clean and fresh. A huge advantage is the remineralization stage—drinking pure RO water without added minerals isn't ideal, so having balanced, remineralized water straight from the pitcher is a big plus. There are two small drawbacks worth noting. First, the tap water feed tank is on the smaller side for a large family, so we find ourselves refilling it multiple times throughout the day. Second, there is no overflow sensor. The dispensing presets are just "full carafe" or "half carafe," meaning the pitcher basically needs to be completely empty or half empty before you press the button, otherwise you risk underfilling or an overflow (a built-in weight sensor would have been a great touch here). That said, you get used to the routine quickly, and it hasn't been a dealbreaker. Overall, very satisfied with the performance and water quality.

I absolutely love this water filtration machine! After using the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite, I can’t imagine going back to standard pitchers or bottled water. The Reverse Osmosis quality is top-tier, and you can truly taste the difference in every glass. Why I highly recommend it: Convenience: As a countertop system, there is zero installation or plumbing required. You just plug it in and go. Compact Design: The "Lite" model has a sleek footprint that doesn't take up too much precious counter space. Speed & Taste: It processes water quickly, and the final result is crisp, clean, and refreshing. If you are looking for a high-quality, efficient, and user-friendly RO system, this is definitely the one to get. It’s been a total game-changer for our home!

I had the original Bluevua RO Pot before this one, and while it worked well, I always thought it felt a little bulky with the four separate filters. When I saw this version on sale during Prime Day, I decided to give it a try, and I’m honestly really glad I did. The biggest difference for me is the single all-in-one filter. I wasn’t sure it would make that much of a difference, but it’s so much simpler. I like not having to think about multiple filters anymore. It also feels more compact and just easier to live with day to day. It takes up a little less space on my counter, and refilling it and pouring water somehow feels smoother than my old one. The water tastes just as good, so I don’t feel like I sacrificed anything by upgrading. If you already have the older RO Pot, I don’t think you need to replace it if it’s still working, but if you’re buying one for the first time or you’re due for an upgrade. I personally think this version is the better choice. I’m really happy I made the switch.

I’ve had the Blueva since march 2026 and works excellent and the water tastes great. I had a question about how product works and customer service was also excellent. Works very fast as well.

Nice machine good value. Works well have had it about 4 months and enjoy it versus tap water.

Always provides perfect water, a very good alternative to water bottles without micro plastics. Worth the price.

Très simple à utiliser et excellente machine à filtration d’eau

I bought the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite(UV) Reverse Osmosis system, and after only 18 months of stationary use on my kitchen counter (moved fewer than 10 times total), it suddenly started leaking directly from the bottom/base—not even from the water tank. When I contacted customer support, they told me it was out of warranty and refused to do anything to help. For a countertop RO system at this price point, lasting only 18 months before failing and leaking water all over the counter is unacceptable. Their support was completely unhelpful. Definitely do not recommend this product or brand.
