Pros

Lightweight
- the small size (it doesn't take up much space in the pack), weight and relative ease of use are the MIOX's chief advantages
Maintenance
- last longer with batteries and salt
- sometimes takes 2 or 3 attempts to get the right salt solution
Good filtration
- it does leave a slight chlorine aftertaste in the water, but this dissipates over time
- it's often easier to just double to dose and forget about the test strips
- it does kill everything
Easy to use
- it's easy to use (I never bother with the strips) and it's great for treating large volumes of water for big groups
- food grade rock salt works best (though, any salt works, even that stuff you put on your driveway, or just those restaurant packets, if you're not so daring)
Added bonuses
- it is a good hand sanitizer, especially if you splash the water on your hands when rinsing the water bottle threads
- serves replacement for washing that water bottle
