Product review (1 stars): Whirlpool needs to reconsider bringing back the PUR filters--they are MUCH better than EveryDrop!
Wow! The packaging and advertising note that these new EveryDrop filters are the newest and best side-by-side filters out there.  But then why do so many people, including my entire family say that the water tastes worse?

UNBOXING:
The EveryDrop 2-pack comes in a non-locking plastic clamshell with cardboard overlay.  It's a nice design, easy to open, and professional looking.

REVIEW:
The EveryDrop 2-pack is a great value!  2 filters for approximately $60 that will last the next 12 months--that's $5 a month for unlimited filtered water refills.  However, that's where the goodness stops.  I'm not sure what happened when Whirlpool upgraded from the PUR filters to the EveryDrop versions.  They do NOT make good-tasting water.  I've run over 5 gallons (instructions say to flush at least 4 gallons prior to use) through the filter only to take a sip from a tall glass of cold water to note that it tastes like plastic/metal/contaminant.  Perhaps this is better than water from an old filter, but my tap water from the sink tastes cleaner than what comes out of the filter.  My kids will NOT drink from the fridge anymore.

OVERALL:
If you're looking for a filter that screens up to 66 contaminants, and is relatively inexpensive (compared to the old PUR filters), then these are what you're looking for.  If not, and taste/drinkability is important to you, I seriously ask that you reconsider buying the EveryDrop filters.  PUR filters are still out there, but have been discontinued and will probably disappear soon.  I recommend you skip these and get the PUR versions!
