Product review (5 stars): Good Taste, Great Price! Wonderful!
I am on my second filter... bought one in Dec'11 and one in May'12 and I writing in July. I will admit I had a small issue installing the first one - it did seem to have something to do with the pressure. I was hesitant to buy the second one but it installed without any issue. I don't think it's the fridge or the filter - I am sure it is just me. The first time, I didn't think it was in right so I took it out right after I put it in. I am going to claim user error and assume I was not following the directions the first time. So, I don't think the installation was really any issue with the product and doesn't warrant any neg stars.

I can't tell any difference between this filter and the one that came with the fridge. My wife is more sensitive to taste and she agrees. I think this is the one area that will be difficult to judge since taste is very subjective and there are too many different variables that contribute to water quality in so many different areas. You will just have to try for yourself, but at $15 vs. $30 it was worth the try.
