Customers have good things to say about the price and water quality of this NSF 53 Water Filter Replacement. Many also found it easy to install and noted that it fits their Samsung refrigerators perfectly, resulting in good performance. Positive feedback frequently mentioned ease of use. While some experienced leakage, the majority reported no such issues.
I find this to be a pretty decent quality Water Filter. Initially there was this taste to it, but its no longer there. Water looks clean and also doesn't have any smell to it. I don't see any difference in water quality when using the OEM filter. The reason I'm giving this 4 start is I think BestBuy can do better with the price, and somewhat easy to open packaging.

We have had our Samsung fridge for probably 5-7 years and were never even given the option of Samsung filters at purchase and BB doesn’t seem to carry them. We replaced diligently and on time or early. Right after warranty expired, we started getting a jackhammering noise when filling water from dispenser. Then it happened with the ice maker. I tried replacing the filter early. No help. Eventually the jackhammering stopped and the fridge no longer dispensed water or made ice. We didn’t want to pay to fix it, so we just turned off the water valve to it. A few years later and we’ve decided the Brita tank is just not cutting it. We had Samsung’s local authorized repair service come out and he turned on the water line, and it worked a little. Then he took out the filter and it worked perfectly! But that first glass of water without a filter had a lot of nasty black stuff floating in it (not just carbon dust). He said it’s not because he has Samsung on his shirt, but offbrand water filters just destroy and clog these refrigerators. It’s their biggest service call on them. The carbon in them gets pulverized in shipping and leaves carbon dust buildup in the little pipes and areas the water goes through. The heads on them also don’t have a proper fit and carve out tiny pieces of plastic on the refrigerator that you can’t see, wearing down that seal area. He suggested either using actual Samsung DA29-00020B filters or the more cost efficient route is an inline water filter between the water line and fridge (they cost a touch more up front but last 3 or 5 years depending on the model). They are not made by Samsung either, it’s just his recommendation. If using an inline filter, you just leave the filter opening empty in the fridge. Learned a lot for my service call charge today...returning these ASAP! Save yourself and either buy Samsung for a little more or get an online water filter. Either way you go is less expensive than the cost for a service visit. ;)

This morning, we opened the fridge and had a tsunami pour out. Our entire kitchen flooded. We always use the Samsung brand filters. I talked my husband into purchasing the Insignia brand filter this time and told him, "It's just a filter. It'll work fine!" Boy, was I wrong. The first filter worked but the second filter is cracked top to bottom and caused the flooding.
