Product review (5 stars): Manufacturer recommended product - This is the one to order
I bought a Samsung refrigerator one year ago, which I am very happy with. So far I have only had to change the filter once before. At that time, because I was leery about a few reviews online about the water filters, I bought the filter from Sears (where I originally bought the fridge). This time I decided to take the chance and bought it through Amazon. Very nice!

I ordered the Samsung DA29-00003G Aqua-Pure Plus Refrigerator Water Filter in a 2-pack, so I wouldn't have to order again for a year. I received it right on time, and in great condition.

Why buy through here? First, my philosophy is that one should sometimes go with the main brand, just to ensure what you are getting. In this case it was the right thing to do. I didn't want to take a chance on getting a knock-off brand filter that may not do the job properly, or may clog up the system somehow. However, when purchasing the Samsung DA29-00003G Aqua-Pure Plus at the retail store, it is over $80. for the 2-pack. On Amazon it was $20. Well worth buying it here, spending less, and still getting the assurance of the name brand. The filter I ordered from Amazon this time around installed flawlessly (unlike the exact same model I bought at Sears before), and performs perfectly.

My suggestion: Go with the name brand... spend a bit more for the assurances... but buy it on Amazon to spend less than retail. It's worth it.
