Product review (5 stars): Same as OEM at far lower cost
I purchased this filter, because the Samsung branded filters were nearly $50 which seemed outrageously expensive. This was $20. It screwed on easily and appears to work identical to the Samsung. The water is clear, no smell and tastes fine. I honestly have no way to compare this filter to the manufacturer's without a lab analysis of the water. However, I would guess it's identical at a fraction of the cost.
