Product review (2 stars): Tap water flavor, filtered water price...
MMMM Tap Water!.. If you love that unfiltered flavor of tap water, but like spending money on water filters for your refrigerator, than look no further TIER1 is here. These clearly do not filter as well as OEM filters, like not even close. I feel like I totally wasted my money on these and will not repurchase again. Have not even used the second one, will replace the first and try second to see if it is a dud, then I will order the real deal. Very disappointed. I must say that it seemed to work better at first, like for a month.

UPDATE: Several months later, and after switching back to an oem filter. We have also been using the water from the fridge a lot more. At this point I am thoroughly convinced that though the OEM filters cost more per unit, the superior filtering and longevity of better flavor makes them a tremendous value. I am as cheap as the next guy, but I expect what I buy to perform. Still have 2 of these paper wights taking up cupboard space, can't wait to give them away to someone....
