Product review (1 stars): It was fine for about a week
Yuck!! That is how the water out of this filter smells and tastes.  It was fine for about a week, after spewing out 3 gallons of black water initially.  But after that nobody could stand smelling or drinking it.  It was like toilet water!  We bought two of them, so I was hoping the first one was just messed up, but nope, the second one did the same thing.  I went back to the LG and immediately the water tasted great with no smell.
I am done with cheap replacements after this one!  Back to $35 every 6 months, but great tasting water we can actually drink!!!
