Is this too big for a small apt, and if so do they sell a smaller one?

Not sure about a smaller one, unless you buy a Berkey unit....they have various sizes. If I were in a smaller apt....I'd have no problem finding a place on the counter top for it. But it's up to personal preference, I suppose.

No, but it depends on the size of your counter- it is the size of a large platter. We love ours, but we use in Africa

That depends on the kitchen design. You should take the measurements and see if you have enough counter space for the filter. Regarding the height, you will fill the reservoir from above, so you will need enough vertical clearance to allow you to pour the water in. Some small apartments will easily accommodate the filter. Others lack adequate vertical clearance. If you are flexible, you can put the filter in a pantry or closet or on a side board where you have room. I hope you can find room for it. You will love using it.

It is fine for a small apt, if you put it on a stand and not on your countertop...it is fairly tall and would interfere with your upper cabinet doors if left on the countertop.

Hi Matt, I think you can actually go smaller than this unit for a room of 250 sguare feet. My apartment is about 400 to 450 square feet and this unit is bigger than what I need.

I think it's perfect for a beginner and it's extremely quite. You could use it in an apt without an issue.

No too small get a 6in fan and filter you need Atleast 400cfm for that square footage

Hello Jayne, go for the bigger one. You never go wrong. Small has no room to expand if you want to do bigger.I bought mine at a thrift store for 10 dollars and works fine. Enjoy.

I don't think it will be sufficient for such a large area, it's a very good unit for smaller indoor spaces

It's very easy to fold up. In terms of space - it's not that big unless you live in a small apt. I don't have measurements because my son now has the unit at his apt. He lives in a fairly good size apt and it fits in his room folded up against the wall. Good luck.

It will fit in a small apartment. However, I have an in-home gym in my basement so storage isn't an issue for me

Yes, in fact this one is too big to supply just say one bathroom. You'd want a smaller model for a smaller job.

I have a small apartment and mounting wouldn't work. It's not mounted and it's fine. Stability is not an issue, but I could use two. It only fits about 15 spice jars. If I cooked more, I'd get another.

I'm going to buy a bigger one. It's not as good as I had hoped, especially with thick walls and electrical outlets, wires, etc. nearby. I guess it depends on your layout, distrance involved and so forth.

Hi Lisa,We actually returned it. Not because we didn't like it but because it was too big for the space we intended to use it in.Sorry to not be able to help.

yes but it is expensive. over $300 with the shipping and handling. buy the bigger unit that comes with two doors if you have the space.

I bought it for a second home out of state so I can't examine it right now but I recall it being really small.

This is the compact version. My feeling for an apartment with multiple rooms is that you would eventually want two. I have three of the taller large units, and one of these. If you have good circulation I would suggest the taller double model and you might be able to run it on a slower, quieter speed.

The picture is incorrect. I bought it and was surprised that it was small, a microtower. Since I don't have a lot of room it was fine for me.

Yes, this is one of the main reasons I bought mine. It fits well in small spaces also.
