What to know about Bluevua RO100ROPOT-UV

A popular 6-stage countertop RO with UV, remineralization and a 1.7 L borosilicate glass carafe. Bob Vila named it Best Overall, and TechGearLab gave the RO100ROPOT a Top Pick after it removed PFAS, lead and fluoride in testing. Its PFAS evidence is manufacturer-commissioned SGS testing; the WQA Gold Seal covers TDS/chromium III reduction and materials, not PFAS.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Bob Vila named it Best Overall in its roundup, and TechGearLab gave it a Top Pick after its test found PFAS, lead and fluoride removed. It is the only pick that combines UV, remineralization and a borosilicate glass carafe, which is fridge and dishwasher safe.

What to know

Skip it if you want certified PFAS reduction or low running costs. Bluevua's SGS PFOA/PFOS reports are maker-commissioned, and its WQA Gold Seal covers TDS and chromium III only.
Performance

Score breakdown

PFAS reduction evidence

Strength of proof that the system cuts PFAS: a current NSF/ANSI 53/58 PFOA/PFOS or total-PFAS certification (NSF, WQA or IAPMO) and/or independent lab results (TechGearLab/Tap Score, Quality Water Lab). Certified plus lab-verified scores highest; marketing-only claims score lowest.

5.5
Maker SGS reports plus TechGearLab's qualitative PFAS removal; no certification.
Other contaminant coverage

Certified or lab-verified reduction of lead, chlorine/chloramine, VOCs, pharmaceuticals (NSF 401), microplastics, and for RO, TDS, fluoride, nitrate and arsenic.

7.0
WQA for TDS/chromium III; TechGearLab found 100% lead and fluoride removal, while WaterFilterGuru measured 83% fluoride reduction.
Value

Upfront price plus annual filter cost per gallon, judged against the protection delivered.

5.5
$409 plus about $150 a year with no PFAS certification.
Installation & cabinet fit

DIY difficulty, whether it needs a drilled faucet hole, a drain saddle or an electrical outlet, renter-friendliness, and under-sink footprint (tank vs tankless).

8.0
Plug-in and compact.
Flow & daily convenience

Flow rate or production speed, filter-change ease, and filter-life reminders.

6.0
2 L batch; some testers noticed a slight plastic taste.
Health, materials & sustainability

Lead-free component certification (NSF 372), BPA disclosures, wastewater ratio, energy use, effects on pH and minerals, and any media leaching found in lab tests.

7.0
Borosilicate glass and NSF 372, but the highest wastewater in BOS's top seven.
Reliability & support

Leak reports, warranty length, availability of replacement parts and filters.

5.5
Owner complaints of malfunctions (BOS Water).
