Product review (2 stars): Works. OEM build.
This is a revised review on re-ordering this from Amazon to replace the earlier one. THIS FILTER IS NOW DIFFERENT:

This new replacement filter is visually different. It is no longer made in Korea, but says made in Mexico by 3M. If I do an online search on this, the results are not good. In fact there was litigation by State Farm Insurance on a filter that leaked in a home from a Samsung refrigerator from by a OEM replacement Samsung labeled filter made by 3M from what seems to be this same plant.

My problem is that this seems bait and switch. Suddenly this is a different filter. First thing you notice is that the label no longer has a serialized production number on it like the one from Korea. The label even was of less quality, thinner and was bubbled. You also notice that the filter itself has little nubs and shaved on the plastic outside housing that reveal a less than the same product finishing. If you peer down the hole, this new 3M labeled Samsung filter has a different sub-opening, it has a smaller plastic "gate" inside.

So I paid pretty much the same as last time here on Amazon, but received a different filter in actuality. They are making more money on better margins from me for this filter, but selling me a lesser built filter. I do not like that. Now I hope this doesn't leak, but it certainly from my research is at a higher risk of doing so. Moreover, I am not more concerned it can actually say as it says it can do as a filter and it's NSF rating. With this diminished quality on the outside, one has to wonder what corners were cut inside. DISAPPOINTING!

-----------------------------------Old Review Below-----------------
First time replacement on new refrigerator. Not sure what more I can add to what is a basic item; it either functions or it doesn't. However I will say that the order came in exactly as expected, shrink wrapped Samsung OEM replacement, exactly as the one installed. No problem installing. The only observation I can have is that the output is slightly less pressure than before. So no changes on my end except replacing the one that came with the fridge from the factory and this one, yet there is slightly less of a flow rate of water now. I see some people are seeing that too on these reviews, so I echo it. It's not a drastic drop, but it is a slight drop, which I hate to see from anything all brand new.
