Product review (3 stars): works okay
I have installed many Samsung brand filters for my fridge. So, I immediately noticed a difference in the heft of this product. It feels lighter and something inside it shakes a little. I followed the Samsung directions for installation because this filter was not shrink packaged and did not contain its own instructions. After the requisite flushing, I went ahead and flushed a couple more gallons just to be sure. I tasted the water and it was not as filtered as expected. The Samsung brand leaves no after taste and definitely gets rid of the algae bloom by products. This one not so much. It is better than the straight tap but not as good as it can be. Thus the rating.
