    I think the Best Buy essentials water filter is a good replacement for the Best Buy Insignia brand water filter. I believe the Insignia brand is rebranded to BB essentials and it certainly is more cost efficient than the Samsung brand for my refrigerator, and believe me, I've done my homework for this filter.

    It Fits, It Works

    It fits, it works, and it is a lot less money. Sadly, there isn't a compatibility chart for these, maybe there are just so darn many Samsung models this fits. It looks exactly like the Samsung filter. This is the style that sits horizontally. There is a round convex area with a bar in it (sort of like a gas grill control) for removing and inserting the cartridge. Probably the best way to be certain this is the correct cartridge is to buy it, carefully remove it from the box but don't remove the plastic wrap; remove the old one from the refrigerator, and compare the two. If they match, awesome. If they don't, replace the old cartridge into the fridge and return the wrong size. The only difference I can see, Samsung includes a set of twelve month stickers (a reminder for when to change the cartridge). For almost double the price, I'll make my own sticker.

    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.

    This water filter is a great replacement for the original Samsung water filter because it is way cheaper and it works as effectively as the Samsung original filter. I've had this filter for about 2 months and it works great, water tastes great! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to save money without sacrificing quality.
