Customer reviews of Orinko

I ordered bamboo activated charcoal and it is not very strong, almost 60% of it crumbled in 2 weeks, but in the end it is my responsibility because I should have bought what I usually use. solid Bishotan charcoal

Order received quickly and carefully.

hollow charcoal sticks, some broken, others too big to fit in the water bottles

After some delivery problems, the package arrived with the post office, recurring problems with DPD,

Correct. Product conforms to the description.

I am amazed and very satisfied with the quality of the Orinko site, the fast delivery and especially the ceramic beads which are really effective. The purified water has a completely different taste!

I am disappointed, it is not sticks but a stone not easy to place in a carafe and some small pieces. At my first order I was very satisfied.

I had a little problem with delivery but everything finally arrived safely, after Christmas. The product is exactly what I was looking for.

I was surprised to hear that my order had to be completed. I wrote to the customer service who answered me, except that in the meantime my order was completed by itself. For the rest no problem

Hello, I put only 4 stars because I have difficulty to evaluate the benefits of the charcoal. Besides, a small problem, given its lightness, it tends to rise in the carafe, so it is partially immersed ... is there a way to keep it deeper?

Completely satisfied with the products I ordered

The water tastes like tap water and yet I took the grey and pink beads. Maybe I should take activated carbon in addition to the pearls. For the moment I don't drink the water directly but I use it to make herbal teas or to cook.

nothing to complain about....

Quality products quickly delivered

Fast.

I hadn't seen the size of the coals. For the price I thought I was getting a deal. In fact I have 6 that are the size of 3. In the end it's not worth it. I don't recommend it.

The charcoal sticks I ordered float in the carafe even after 1 night of soaking and 2 water changes. I had to boil them for 10', to try to change their density, and they broke. I miss the Japanese binchotan; not happy with these purifying activated carbons.

Very fast delivery. Well packaged, remains to be tested in the long run if effective and will replace the use of plastic bottles. From the beginning, I noticed a softened water compared to hard tap water.

Quick delivery and deposit in the mailbox

The products are great but there was a broken pink ceramic bead in the package.

seems effective, but too expensive

not at all convinced of the effectiveness

Very good product

quick

The use is simple although my son had trouble and it is slightly scratched but not serious.

Water carafe

It's a pity that the operating instructions are not very precise

Conforming and nice item, but fragile

I am very happy. Indeed, the water does not have any more the bad taste which it has when one drinks the water of the tap. I am in a particularly calcareous region and the water does not have a really great taste.easy use: we boil each stick during about fifteen minutes and they are ready to be used. The best is to have 2 carafes (with each one their binchotan) when we have people.However, there remains a zone of shade: the harmlessness of the activated carbon was not shown. In 10 or 20 years, we will perhaps realize that it was not so good as that.Also, I wonder if it remains well the minerals in water. The price is not given even if theoretically each stick has a lifespan of 6 months. (We have therefore for 2 years and half normally).

more precision for the sticks for the carafes which are bigger than the other small ones I hope that it will go anyway

I often use activated charcoals to put in my gourd but I am very disappointed because what I received would be more like half charcoals, there is even one that is around 5cm which is much too small for me next time I will go see elsewhere

Easy to use

The product looks good. See how effective it is over time.

need to pierce the inside of the carbon tubes otherwise impossible to use them properly, they overflow and water can not enter the tubes

Prevents limescale build-up in the water carafe

Eliminates some of the limescale. Water is more pleasant to the taste.

Very practical!

I saw this product that I did not know at friends and I doubted its effectiveness but when I tasted the water that had been treated with a stick of charcoal I was very surprised: no more smell and perfectly neutral taste. So I bought the same thing and I am not disappointed, it is practical, ecological and simple to use. The only drawback is that some sticks are large and do not fit in closable carafes, otherwise it's great

Efficient and ecological

The item arrived 3 days late despite a bonus order. One of the oriculis was damaged at the level of the colored pearls. As for the quality, we have to give it time. However I find it expensive for small pieces of bamboo
