Product review (3 stars): Direct Replacement, but not the same standard
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUYING BEFORE YOU ORDER

I bought this as a replacement for my new Samsung RF34H9950S4.  I went to Lowes and found out the direct replacement filter costs roughly $50.

Searching Amazon, I came across these at quite a reduce price.  I read some of the reviews mostly positive so I bought.

Shipping and delivery was as expected from Amazon and arrived in two days.  Changing out the old wasn't a problem, no leak, done in 10 minutes tops.

Unfortunately, I didn't do enough homework before hand.  As I soon discovered, these filters don't filter to the same standard as the OEM.  Yes they are a replacement and fit properly, but these filters are NSF42 while to original is NSF 53.  There's quite a bit of difference in the effectiveness between the two.  NSF42 is pretty much only for looks and taste while NSF53 actually removed 99%+ of a lot of bad things.

Had I known at the time, I would not have purchased.  I'm looking for a filter that is as good if not better than the original to filter out the bad stuff.

Now I have 3 new used filters that I need to decide to use or not when it comes time to replace again in a few months.

That said, it is the first description for the product on Amazon so it is disclosed right up front.

Would not buy again, will look for NSF53 next time.
