Product review (3 stars): ignoring the bad reviews and assuming they must be doing something wrong
I too thought that I would try the cheaper filter over the overpriced LG ones, ignoring the bad reviews and assuming they must be doing something wrong.
No matter how many gallons of water we wasted running through this filter we could not get it to not have a funny taste.
We finally just accepted defeat and bought OEM filter.

3 stars just because we were able to return the filter and get money back, otherwise I would have left 1 star
