Product review (3 stars): Price gouging!
Price jumped over $18 since I last purchased this filter 6 months ago. I've been buying this filter for the past 3 years and it works perfectly. It is the original Samsung brand filter. But why the price gouging when Samsung has been having so many quality issues affecting their image. Phones, washing machines, and ice makers all defective and they aren't very responsive to their customers. So unless you want to take a chance on off-brand filters, bite the bullet and accept being gouged.  When we buy our next home in a few years, we won't be installing anything from Samsung.
