    I’ve been buying these for a few years and I really think it’s just like buying the name brand just a lot cheaper. I have only had 1 problem. This last time the box was in a bag but the box was ripped in the bag. The cover was still on the actual filter so I went ahead and used it still. But if you want people to buy stuff mail order you shouldn’t send them ripped boxes. It’s the only time Best Buy sent me something like that so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Love Best Buy and their products still.

    Been using Best Buy filters for a while and they always do well. Water tastes great and they last a while. Great price compared to the $55 LG brand too!

    What can I say? It turns my poor tasting tap water into something drinkable. $20 off in store compared to online.

    Watwr came out a little gray right after I switched the filter but once I let out all the debris, it works great. I'm probably not going back to name brand

    This BestBuy brand fridge water filter is a very good alternative to the LG brand filter. The water tastes the same and at a $20 savings. I recommend it.

    As far as water taste is concern it does the job, water taste great, but I see more things floating around in water compare to old filter, and that is after I have run many gallons of water.

    For some reason, this water filter unit improved our ice making substantially in our old LG Refrigerator. Yes, very pleased and the ice quality, taste, shape etc. has improved. Just my wife and me, but change out filter every 6 months( June & January)
