    First time buying non-OEM cartridge but I have no regrets. Zero issue with install and I noticed no difference in water compared to OEM.

    Fits perfectly and works well with my Samsung refrigerator. However, the Samsung Refrigerator keeps sending me alerts to get the actual samsung filter. So. we'll have to try to get the Samsung filter next time.

    Works just as good as the Samsung brand for almost half the price! I’ve seen on past review people say their filter light stays on after replacing. Just remember to press the filter button after replacing and you’re good to go!

    Great value for these 2 water filters, no they’re not Samsung filters, however there insignia filters that fit Samsung refrigerator, approximately 50 dollars for the pair, if I got Samsung it would of been 50 dollars for 1 , so yes great value, would and will buy again.
