    Water tastes great. It’s important to run the filter as the instructions indicate prior to enjoying the water. The instructions clearly indicate you will get micro contaminants if you don’t purge the recommended amount of water. I would buy this filter again from Best Buy. The price is competitive as well.

    Our water tastes great using this filter in a Whirlpool refrigerator. (circa 2010 model) The price is reasonable, and we have been buying this model for nearly 10 years, with no issues. Highly recommended.

    alternative to OEM

    The main thing is that it was less expensive than OEM filter. But the downside was that it took a while for some kind of chemical to wash out and finally provide non-milky water. It wasn't like opaque milky water, but there was definitely some kind of chemical - maybe to sanitize the water line. And if that's the case, I wish it had been stated: User - it will take a gallon of water flow for the water to run clear. After that was done, it does provide fresh clear and clean tasing water. This thing has to last only a little while, until the new fridge gets installed. After that it wont have water connected so it won't matter. Also, it is an exact fit for the OEM.

    Product works great for my fridge. There is not a difference in this one compared to the name brand in product quality. The cheaper price is a great reason to purchase compared to name brand. I have purchased this product many times.
