CONCLUSION
Using the bewinch R9 Pro day‑to‑day, the positives show up fast, RO water quality is excellent, the filters pop out without any fuss, and the ability to dispense both cold (semi-cold if we’re being completely accurate) and near‑boiling water makes it feel more like a multi‑purpose appliance than a purifier. Its size also works in its favor, it’s compact enough to shift around the counter or even relocate entirely. But living with it also reveals a few quirks. The 5.5L tank isn’t truly 5.5L in practice since once reject water loops back, you’re effectively working with about 3.5L before needing a refill (a direct water inlet for people who'd like to have it in a fixed location would make a fine addition). The dispenser height is also limiting, so filling a tall bottle or thermos is out of the question (I prefer filling up large bottles so I can place them in the fridge so the addition of a retractable tube which one may use for that purpose would make sense – yes, I know I’m asking for a lot but one can dream). Performance‑wise, the bewinch R9 Pro is quick (about 3.5 minutes to purify a liter of water) but not inaudible, sitting at just over 43dBA from a meter away means it’s quite noticeable in a quiet room. And while cold mode sips power at around 80W, hot mode at 98°C is a heavy hitter at roughly 2150W. In short, the bewinch R9 Pro nails water quality and convenience, but you’ll notice its noise, its power draw when heating (although understandable so not really a con), and its limited reservoir capacity.
As I type this review the bewinch R9 Pro countertop reverse osmosis water purifier by JIMMY retails for USD499 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 499Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de 20% discount using code DB3N2IXO, Jimmy.eu 70Euros discount using code NIKK70) and although for many this will no doubt seem expensive, it’s actually among the lowest cost models that share the same set of features. Still there are far too many health concerns surrounding tap water all over the world and at least for me reverse osmosis water purifiers should take priority. At the end of the day the bewinch R9 Pro delivers as advertised, yes, it’s not quite perfect but you’re getting clean water (semi-cold or hot) from a device you can easily use and place virtually anywhere and so the Golden award is in order.
