    I have this on auto delivery so I get a replacement every six months, frequency recommended by manufacturer. I've been using this replacement part for approximately 3 years, and it always installs easily and works properly.

    This water filter works great! Awesome alternative to the OEM. I’ve used other off brands and you don’t get the taste or water flow that you get with the Best Buy brand. Not to mention way cheaper. Definitely will buy again.
