Product review (3 stars): MADE IN CHINA
So far after 3 days with this filter installed I haven't had an issue with yet, only to mean that unlike some other reviewers it hasn't leaked water into my fridge. What I do have some concern with is that despite some responses to a question posted on this product asking where it is made, they other user stated it was made in the USA. This is not the case as it is clearly marked as MADE IN CHINA. I don't think I would have purchased this filter had I known that. I am not sure i want my kids drinking water filtered through carbon that was sourced and packed in CHINA, the country that is notorious for putting lead, mercury..(insert the heavy metal poison of your choice) in paint that is applied to kids toys, cups, plates etc.
Also as others have stated once you look at the details of the items it becomes apparent that this does not provide the same level of filtration as the Kenmore brand filter which I do believe is apparent in the taste. I think I will be replacing this long before its six months is up.
