| If we want filtered water in our new kitchen, are we better off getting something that would work with our sink or a fridge with a water dispenser? |

| I honestly think you should do both. We only have a filter in the fridge and really want to get a whole house filter or filter installed under the sink. It takes forever to fill up a water bottle from the fridge! |

Agree with this. We use a Soda Stream, which I like, but the bottles don't fit in the fridge opening. Filling up anything larger than a glass is a pain and makes a mess. |

| The under the counter water filtration systems may be $$ up front but will last longer then a fridge one will |

| There are some under counter systems that can do both the fridge and the sink. The main rig goes under your sink, and there's a T connector with a hose that runs under the cabinet toe kicks to your fridge. |

Depends on what you're filtering...for normal city water a whole house cartridge filter works well to eliminate solids and chlorine taste. If you're on well water you probably need something heftier.
Otherwise I would do a sink filter - I hate the look of fridge water dispensers, and it seems like they always go bad. |

| OP here - I just need filtered water for drinking water - sounds like maybe a sink filter could do the job? |
