    I do wish it was cheaper because it doesn't last very long and there are only two people who live at this house. But it does put out a good clean taste.

    These are too expensive and no matter how much you use them, the warning light will appear based on the time instead of filter quality. I am forced to buy these expensive ones because the cheap ones could potentially damage my refrigerator which was upwards of $2000. Samsung are just overcharging because they know they can get away with it.

    very disappointed. Tried to return this item because I accidentally ordered the wrong filter. When my son went to install it he realized it was the wrong filter. Was not used & put it back in the package it came in, sent it back and then you sent it back to me. $50 some down the drain & can't do anything with the filter. RIP OFF!!!

    Works okay. Refrigerator tell you when to change it which is often. Need to turn off the house water and use a wrench to undo the filter. Understand reducing the water pressure by turning off the water but shouldn't need a wrench to get the filter out.

      Hello Sheline,

      Thank you for reaching out. We will take note of your feedback as this helps us improve more especially on the quality of the products we offer.
      About the water filter in your Samsung Refrigerator.
      Replacing the water filter in your fridge helps keep your water tasting fresh and helps to prevent odors. Your Family Hub panel will notify you when it’s time to change it, which is about every 6 months. First make sure you purchase a genuine Samsung filter made specifically for your fridge model. You can find replacements on Samsung.com. When you’re ready to replace it, turn off the water line to the fridge, drain the waterline by running the dispenser, and then turn the old filter counterclockwise to pull it out. After you insert the new filter, turn it clockwise to lock it in place, and then turn your water valve back on. All that’s left is to run the water for a few minutes to flush it and reset the replace filter alert on your fridge.
