Product review (4 stars): Great product for a great price
I think this is a great alternative to the higher-priced items that are more "Name branded."  I used this to replace the old filter in my LG refrigerator.

The installation was simple and the packaging provided some instructions to help get you started.  The box contains month labels that you can affix to the filter once replaced so that you can measure when you need to replace it (6 Months).

The directions require that you run water through the filter using the fridge for three minutes prior to normal use.  This is a *MUST* because you will notice that your first few cups of water (I'd say about 6 cups or so...I used a pitcher so I'm guesstimating) will be black.  It looked eerily similar to grape Kool-Aid when I was purging the system.  After about two minutes, the water was clear again and taste was not affected.

So far it is working as intended!
