Product review (5 stars): These seem to be as good as the original name-brand filters but for a third of the price
I have found no difference in the performance of these filters versus the "OEM" filters for my LG refrigerator -- except that these are one third the price per unit! They install the same and the filtered water, at least based on taste and clarity, is equal to what I got from the LG filter. I was a little concerned by the review that mentioned "particles of plastic" floating in the water, so I was careful to run and discard about a half gallon of water through the new filter before drinking. I didn't see any particulate matter but I would advise this regardless, as there is sometimes a little charcoal that may come through any filter at first.

Overall, not problems so far and I like the idea of paying about $10 for a filter instead of $30!
