Product review (2 stars): Recently put in this new filter. Water has chemical ...
(Part 1) Recently put in an Everydrop filter. Flushed out as directed in same way as always, but even after a couple weeks of using it, the water still had a soapy chemical taste, which means this feature of the Whirlpool refrigerator has become useless. Miss the former version of their water filters. Looks like many reviewers have had the same experience as ours, but others have had a good experience. Perhaps these are manufactured in multiple locations, some with better quality control than others.

(Part 2) We decided to try another one, and this one is not nearly as bad. If Whirlpool's quality control is inconsistent, I expect that this could happen every six months, but we'll see. I raised my rating to 2 stars but with mixed feelings. Also, the newer one is a minuscule wider than the Pur,  so we had to hold the push button in AS we pushed the filter in as that was the only way the push button would pop back out. If anyone else has had that problem, I hope this solution is useful to you.
