Product review (5 stars): A Reasonably-Priced Alternative to the OEM Samsung Water Filter
Like many owners of a new refrigerator with a water-and-ice dispenser, I was shocked at the price for a replacement water filter. At $50 a pop, I seriously considered installing an in-line water filter and just foregoing a replacement water filter altogether. However, I decided to do some investigating and was pleased to learn that aftermarket water filters were available from several Amazon sellers.

The Supco WF294 I purchased was less than $20 including shipping. That is a reasonable price for a water filter.

As for installation, installing the Supco filter was a breeze. Removing the old filter and replacing the new one took less than a minute. The Supco unit actually fit better that the original Samsung unit that it replaced. After installing the Supco filter, I ran about a gallon of water from the water dispenser to make sure all of the air was out of the line. The filter has worked perfectly since installation.

If you're worried about how the Supco water filter will perform, let me assure you that it is a good product, does the job well, and will save you money...enough money to take the wife (or hubby) out to dinner. When the time comes that I have to replace the water filter, I'm going to go with the Supco water filter once again.
