Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the NSF 42/53 Water Filter Replacement for Select Samsung Refrigerators (2-pack), especially regarding its affordable price, overall performance, ease of installation, and the improved water quality it provides. Many customers also appreciate the filter's perfect fit and compatibility with their refrigerators. While some users have reported issues with leakage and the filter light remaining on, these concerns appear to be less prevalent overall.

    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!

    The Best Buy refrigerator water filter successfully replaced the Samsung brand. I applied a thin film of silicone grease to the o-ring seals and it fit in with no struggle. Of course I had no way to test the filtration effectiveness.

    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.
