Product review (4 stars): A decent filter for the money, but.....
I've used these filters for three years. Each one has lasted approximately one year before they were replaced. I consider this performance to be quite acceptable. The price of this filter is substantially less than the 'recommended' O.E.M. Maytag filter that costs between twenty and fifty dollars (depending on where and how you buy it). The main reason I didn't give this filter five stars is that the supplier provides relatively little information regarding what it's capable of filtering and to what degree. The O.E.M. filter is supplied with a very detailed listing of its filtering performance capabilities (which are rather comprehensive). This comparison leaves me with the assumption that the Aqualutio filter doesn't offer filtering performance comparable to the O.E.M. filter. The takeaway for me is that, as usual, you get what you pay for.
