Product review (5 stars): Outstanding Value through Amazon!
Once again the water filter indicator on my Samsung fridge was glowing violet. A major retailer less than 5 minutes from here sells the replacement for $40 or so, but I kept feeling as if I wasn't getting my $$ worth out of that purchase. We drink a lot of water at home so it was important to us that "taste" or rather "lack of taste" not change. I began a search for replacement filters online and I came across this Made in the US filter by Water Sentinel. I read the reviews and I must admit, I was highly skeptical of a filter costing half as much as the name brand replacement with the added bonus of being made here. (A huge plus IMHO) I have used the filter since it arrived and nobody has noticed the "plastic" taste that many other reviewers mentioned. Perhaps there was a bad lot? We are very pleased so far and feel this product worthy of all 5 stars. I will update this review to include a longevity comparison when the time comes to replace this filter.
Well it is now nearly Christmas and six months later my water filter indicator is telling me it's time to replace. This filter actually outlasted the OEM filter! We never had a problem with bad tasting water and at half the price will absolutely continue to purchase this filter. Thanks for reading.
