Product review (4 stars): Good product with one exception.
It truly is the original manufacturer product, not a cheap imitation. It installed cleanly with no issues and works without leaks. I did deduct one star due to the 'off' taste that was present in the water for about the first (6) 20-oz glasses that were processed through the filter. But it had gone away by the 7th glass.
Since Samsung recommends that these filters be changed every 6 months I will definitely be purchasing this again.

P.S. by 'off' taste I mean that the water smelled like a cat's mouth. Every smelled a cat's mouth? Not pleasant. Def not something you want to put in your own mouth.
