Whirlpool - EveryDrop 3 Ice and Water Filter - White

I used to have a recurring order set up on Amazon to have these shipped to me every 6 months, however the last handful of them have only lasted 4 to 10 weeks! (with only 2 people in the house and supplementing our water consumption with a Brita pitcher and bottled water) The water on my refrigerator door would cease to work, I would turn the water line off, pop the filter out and then put it back in, and then turn the water line back on and it would sometimes fix the problem for about 2-3 drinking glasses and then stop working again. I was going crazy diagnosing the water line, water pressure, the water shut off valve, solenoid in the back of the fridge. With absolutely no help whatsoever from the Whirlpool/ KitchenAid company I figured out the problem on my own... on a suspicion I bought a new filter at BestBuy and it fixed my problem. So I called Amazon (where I purchased the water filter from, but since it was sold on Amazon by ‘EveryDropCounts by Whirlpool’ Amazon told me that I would need to contact Whirlpool for assistance. Whirlpool accused me of buying a counterfeit water filter and accused Amazon of selling me a counterfeit product, and told me that there was nothing that could be done. I put up with 2 or 3 filters only lasting about 2 months before suddenly stop working, but when my last one barely lasted a month before stopping and causing me to put 2 hours into diagnosing the problem - I had to call Whirlpool and see what they could do. BUYER BEWARE - NEVER PURCHASE A WHIRLPOOL WATER FILTER FROM WHIRLPOOL OR ‘EveryDropCounts by Whirlpool on AMAZON. ONLY BUY FROM BEST BUY - their filters work and actually last about 6 months, and if for some reason they don’t - they will take care of you and not accuse and harass you.

I love chewing ice, so I bought this filter specifically for that reason. It recommends that you drain the first four gallons of water after installing the filter. That took forever! Even after doing that, my filtered water and ice still has a bitter aftertaste. I’m unsure if it’s the frig, pipes, or the filter itself. However, the taste is the same as before I installed the filter. A plus is it is reasonably priced and usually lasts for about 55 gallons of water. I don’t think it’s really worth it though since no one wants funny-tasting water.

This is a difficult item to review since you can’t see what, if anything, it actually does. Unless you’re going to test your ice and chilled water, you don’t have much to go on. It’s completely sealed and goes into a completely sealed port in a refrigerator. It’d be nice to know (and for Best Buy to tell us) if we really need these filters because they’re outrageously priced whether at the store or by mail from the manufacturer. Another of those cash cow cottage businesses, like razor blades, you can charge 10X what they cost to make.

I went to the Lancaster, PA store and picked out a sub-woofer. I asked to here what it sounded like but the young man taking care of things said that he couldn't get it to work. Would you buy a speaker that you haven't heard? It was then suggested that I go to the Magnolia store in York because they had a bigger selection of products. I drove from Lancaster to York and found that, once again, I wasn't able to hear the speaker. Come on Best Buy. For being a hight-tech store you certainly offer low-tech services. I ultimately bought a sub-woofer because I was told I could return it if I did"t like. Bottom line.......I liked it.

This filter is the only one that fits my refrigerator. For the price it costs I wish it was better at removing particles from our water, especially lime. Also the water leaves a scaled film on not only the water dispenser lever but also all the way down the front of our black refrigerator. Since the refrigerator is shiny black the film down the front can't be scrubbed/scraped off. It's obvious if the water drippage leaves a film on the refrigerator it's not removing all the chemicals from our water and we're ingesting them. On the upside it is better than no filter at all

I always bought this items and sometimes i order 3 quantity at the same time. I purchased the refrigerator at Best buy years ago and I always purchased filters at best buy as well. Appliances and every details of my purchased can be pulled out by any of those friendly staff at best buy. The product and the service combine together is one reason i keep going back to best for anything i needed in my household

This filter works great for Kenmore refrigerators that used the old PUR Whirlpool type filters, which are hard to find and I think it’s possibke Whirlpool replaces with this model. But still a great find. Tried a few off brands from Amazon and they fit but the quality of the water was subpar. This filter is just as good as the old PUR filter for Whirlpool.

I have been buying these filters for ice and water in my Kenmore Elite, and even though there is a bit of sticker shock when you buy them, they really make a big difference in quality of the drinking water - even in the flavor of the ice. It is also comforting to know that the filter is removing lead and numerous other issues from the tap water. I can usually get a couple rounds out of filter before having to get a replacement.
