Product review (2 stars): Disappointed
I'm aware that using "generic" water filters is kind of hit or miss.  I've tried other brands and had issues with lowered water flow, which impacted water flow from the water dispenser and ice production from the upper ice maker.  After paying for the high priced Samsung brand the last couple of filters, I had high hopes based on the relatively good ratings from the majority of raters for this brand that these might work well.  Unfortunately, I have not had a positive experience.  First, this filter seemed to be much more difficult to install than the Samsung brand (i.e., required a great deal of pressure to push it in and turn it).  Once installed the first time, the water dispenser spurted water out inconsistently, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled again after cleaning up the water that had leaked into the refrigerator.  As I ran water through the water dispenser to fill a gallon jug, the water flow was very slow compared with the old Samsung filter I was replacing.  In addition, the water line and pipes began to make loud noises.  These noises have continued as the water line comes on when the ice maker is working.  I read a couple of other reviews that mentioned these loud noises going away after a couple of days.  I don't have much hope that this will be the case, but will update my review if things improve.  The water quality is fine--it tastes as good as our filtered water has always tasted, but water flow is the main issue.  I guess I'll start searching for a sale on the name-brand filter.
