Product review (2 stars): Easy In, Not so easy OUT
As a water filter, this worked great and it lasted as long as an OEM filter, a good six months. There were no odors to speak of and the water tasted great. But my issue with the filter begins at it's end of life.  When I went to replace it with a new filter, the tip of the filter popped off, getting stuck inside the connector. If you've ever seen how a Samsung filter is installed, there is no easy way to reach the inside to extract the tip. And, since this made the fridge think the filter was in place, water continued to seep in, even with the household water turned off. Eventually, I was able to fit something tightly inside the tip and turn so it popped out.
