    Works perfect. Doesn't make sense to get the brand name as it is so much more expensive and does the exact samething. I signed up for the subscription as well, to make my life easier.

    My refrigerator said it was time to replace. Now we do drink allot of water but the official lg one would give me at least six months, with that being said this was significantly cheaper so it probably balances out.

    Most people don't realize the original LG filter has two certificates 42 and 53. One is just for chlorine, the other is for the really bad stuff. Thr cheaper filters remove chlorine taste, But this one removes them all at a great price. Water taste is great too! Will buy again. Fitment was not a problem for pur LG fridge.

    They work well. I had some difficulty getting it to fit the first time, but if you rotate it 90° and try again it will fit and lock. They are harder to install than the LG brand, but they did eventually fit. Water quality is the same, as the same standard tests were conducted. These were roughly half the price of name brand! I did try some comparable water drop filters from Amazon, and those didn't fit. The LG filter has a 360° groove where it connects; the water drop had none and this one has 180° groove.
