The filter replacement has been in about 3 weeks and it seems to be working fine.  Water quality is about the same as the previous LG filter which is $48 at Frys.  It says it needs replacing every 6 months.  At approximately $10 each, it is hard to believe it will be as good.  I'm a 'get what you pay for guy' in general.  We have a water cooler in the house so we don't use the refrigerator water for drinking, only ice making and coffee in the morning.  My past LG filters have lasted years with this use, probably 4 or 5.  It will be a while before we'll know the longevity of this filter, bit it gets 5 stars for now because of price and quality.
