Product review (5 stars): YES!
I was truly skeptical of going off brand. I had to try it based on the review and the price difference. This filter works perfect! I still let the water run for a while but didn't see anything like some of the other reviews mentioned. It's been great this entire first couple months we've been using this new filter. I am so pleased that I don't need to break the bank on the Kenmore version. Thank you!
