Product review (5 stars): Great price for really good tasting water!
The product price is still very competitive compared to LG branded equivalent filters.

These filters come in 3 grades. We had used the standard grade before (which is even cheaper - less than $10) and we had seen no significant difference between that one (standard) and the LG branded filters.

This time we decided to try the Deluxe grade because is is designed to filter even more chemicals and contaminants (which is kind of important these days after the horror stories you hear with water contamination).

Installation was really easy but that is the case for any of the compatible filters.

After installation, the first few gallons of water coming out of the water dispenser are clouded because of the carbon dust that needs to be rinsed out, but after that, we found that our fridge water was tasting really good, better than with the standard grade or the LG branded filters.

Instead of the "month and year" stickers that sometimes come with the filters and that you stick on the filter to indicate the month you will need to replace it, this one came with a "timer" strip you activate before sticking it to the filter.

The timer strip gives a general indication of how much time you have before the filter needs to be replaced. When the entire strip turns red - see photo - (which is supposed to take 6 months), then you know it's time to change the filter. We'll see how accurate that timer is, but in any case our fridge also has a timer feature which lets us know when the filter needs to be changed.

Overall a great product.
