Boroux vs. Rorra vs. Culligan: Water Filters, Tested Head to Head
In a world of plasticky water filter pitchers, I tested three new-generation stainless steel filter systems.
Since March, the author has been testing new-generation gravity-fed water filter systems that promise to eliminate plastic contact points. Three systems were examined: Boroux Legacy ($419), Culligan MaxClear Gravity ($199) and Rorra Countertop ($549). The Boroux system caught the author's attention due to its stainless steel construction, ease of setup, microplastic filtration certification, and impressive filtration performance against chlorine, PFAS and lead, including in chloramine-treated water systems.
The system also boasts a long filter lifespan (up to a year), and sleek design. The Culligan system, though cheaper, had slow filtration and expensive filter replacements. The Rorra system stood out for its smart features, yet was more expensive and slower in filtering. After thorough assessments, the Boroux filter was deemed the best overall choice for most users, with the Culligan system as the runner-up.
