Then I would recommend it. Just be realistic about what type of system it is. It is cheap. The basics of an RO/DI unit (the tubing, housing, plastics) all cost about the same, so the way these units are so cheap are probably because they skimp on the filters. You will probably not get much life out the membrane and other filters, but to the best of my knowledge, most RO/DI units have standard sized membranes and filter cartridges, so if you do get a cheap unit, you can get a quality membrane later.

EDIT: Also, don't worry about all the extra junk. All you really need is the unit and wasting the money on a tank and whatever else they're offering kind of negates the point of buying a cheap unit. Check out their site for just RO/DI units.
