Product review (5 stars): Excellent alternative
This was my first replacement since purchasing the refrigerator, and I suffered some sticker shock when seeing the price for the Samsung branded filter. I decided to try this one out since the reviews were good.

Installation was quick and easy! I did turn the water supply off, per the directions from the manual, and removing and replacing was an easy task. Where I was most impressed was the amount of water needed for flushing the system. When I first purchased the refrigerator it took a lot of water to get it going, and before the water ran clear; whereas this was only took around the suggested gallon of water to clear the line.

I've had it installed for a few weeks now, and so far I'm noticing a good amount of flow (if not better than previously) and the water/ice is clean as a whistle. Going forward I will definitely continue purchasing these for my Samsung refrigerator.
