Product review (5 stars): Better than Samsung branded filter.
Found this to be a better filter than the Samsung branded filters, with this one made in USA, as noted by others. Price is less, with addition of gasket grease a nice touch (although not really needed, a slight touch of the grease to one's finger and lightly applied to the two o-rings makes for an easier installation).  On the USA front, it is a plus, and while I have no proof, at least my conscience feels better believing US products may be subject to better QC standards.  Recommend this one, having tried several OEM filters over the years.
