    Better than the one that came with my fridge

    Truthfully, I was using the LG filter that came with my refrigerator and it was painfully slow. It became a running joke with my family. When it was time to change the filter after 6 months, I opted for this one to save an extra $20 off the LG filter that came with the fridge. To my absolute delight, the pressure was significantly increased. This filter performs better than the name brand filter included at a 30% reduction in price. Extremely recommended.

    Fits perfectly in my LG refrigerator. Works just as good as the LG brand filter, but at a better price. I have these on Easy Replenish and they conveniently show up when my change filter light comes on, and I even get a discount.

    I am using this in my LG refrigerator. This is an exact replacement for the LG brand filter and costs much less than the LG filter. It is easy to install and works perfectly. After about 6 months it needs to be replaced and water dispensing will slow down a bit, as expected. I use autoship to make sure that the new filter is available when its time to replace.

    First time buying the Best Buy brand. Normally buy the LG brand so was a bit uneasy at first. This product fits and works like a charm. The price was right wish they had 2 on the shelf we would have picked them up.

    Works and functions like the Samsung branded filters, these are little more difficult to remove and require a little more prep before use to make completely functional, not sure if it applies to all refrigerators but mine is a bit more noisy making ice and serving water when using the Essentials filters
