User Review: Katadyn Mini

Katadyn Mini
Above: The current Mini, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 2 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $165

Pass on this one! Slow, extremely high pumping effort and clogs easily. Water that does come dribbling out, after all that effort and time does taste good though. Pass on this one, even though the lack of bulk and weight seems tempting! I paid $165 for this in 1994.

By the time it would take to get 1 cup of filtered water out of this thing, my Kat Guide would have filtered and filled a minimum of 5 Litres of water, with way less effort.
