    The thought of this being a non-Samsung water filter was iffy at first, but I took the chance to try it out and turns out it does basically the same thing compared to the official samsung filter but at a lesser price!!! Altho it does not state certain samsung filter code modules this was the exact replacement for Samsung's DA97-08006C water filter. I'll definitely buy this again once mine is due.

    This worked great. It was easy to install and help keep our water super clean. The price is awesome when compared to the name brand one. I am sure the function of the is not that much different. This is the second one I've purchased and it lasted for a while.
