Mr. Clean Auto Dry. How well does it filter?

I'm thinking of picking up one of these kits just for the fact that the sprayer has a water filter built into into. How well does it actually filter hard water? I'll still dry the traditional way, but I figured that this could be a good way at eliminating the possibility of hard water when washing and rinsing.
 
Um...this has been discussed in many previous threads, but not for a while. Bottom line, it's a toy, it's not worth it. If you really want to go DI, look at one of the CRSpotless units. I have a CR, but it's gotten to be too much of a hassle and I've been running a hose from the inside (soft) water. Before spring I need to get my butt in gear and re-plumb inside so I can switch between soft and hard for the outside faucet.
 
The 2 major problems with the Mr. Clean unit is that the water pressure on the filtered water setting is way too low to really be effective and replacement filter cartridges are rather expensive at around $7-8 IIRC. And from my experience, the filters don't last very long at all.
 
'I have both of the Mr.Clean (standard and Pro, they were gifts FYI). I don\'t care for them. I built my own water filter just for washing and rinsing only, less than half of what you can buy them for. It seem to be working just fine. Now to find someone to take these Mr. Clean off my hands.'
