Is the actual unit shipped the same as the one shown in the picture with the metal fitttings or has the design been changed as some reviews suggest?

Yes it is. Everything you see in the picture is what is shipped to you at your door. It comes with the metal fittings too which I did not need. It also comes with a micron filter too. Its ready to go right out of the box. Hope this helps

Yes it looks just like the one pictured. Its not pretty and its not ugly either but it works well to take out Chlorine and most contaminants.

almost but not quite the same. the guy who installed it said it was different but not that hard for him to make it fit the space. The old one worked for many years and I felt lucky to find such a close match in the replacement.

Yes it is. But the picture looks a lot better than what it really is. It's nice but the picture does not do it justice. And the place that shipped it got the order wrong three times. Just saying.

Yes, it is the unit I have. There is an inch left on both sides and a few inches in the back n front. It's perfect as is, for me!

I am on my second order and you are right, the design changed but I have not seen any change in the product. It is identical in every way.

No, it is not. They claim it is, so I ordered one. It DOES NOT FIT. It's not the same size, nor the same shape, and the electrical connectors don't line up.

Its all about the screws you use. Normally the screws they include are not metal screws. But if you exchange them with metal screws I can't it being a problem. The unit itself has holes for screws.

Hello Robert, I am not the seller. I have purchased one of this before and the picture looks to be correct. Rick A.

I had my old one in hand and just looked at the picture, it looked like it was the same so I took a chance. Turned out it was shorter than the old one but the mounting base was the same. The new one works great.

The original as shown was chromed solid brass. The piece you will get is metal but much lighter construction and do not look like as shown. My piece was defective.

the one I ordered did, had a bit lighter heat sink, but the metal was different, read that it was newer technology

Sorry for the long response time, I just looked at it and it seems to be the same "metal" as the old one. I ordered this for my daughter before xmas but managed to find a loose screw in the HDD when I opened it up. It's still working right now so the parts I ordered are kinda just in "limbo" for now. I will update how the install went once I do it. Hope this helps!

The unit we received is exactly as pictured. The side has a black trim running through the middle and the back has a black plastic cover running through the middle as well.
