Product review (5 stars): Good replacement filter for original "blue"
I was a little hesitant in buying this after seeing the "bad reviews", but since the other older blue filters were discontinued, had to give it a try. I will agree with others the packaging is "very nice", contemporary.  I was expecting this not to fit as another reviewer had a fitment issue but it just popped right in. I have a Side-Side Kenmore Elite with "measured-fill" and it works fine. I did the recommended "4-Gallon" flush and taste testing the filtered water and it tastes just like the PUR-Whirlpool Blue-Filters. I will be buying these again in the future.

*to the other reviewers who are having a residual taste or order in the filter, I would advise probably doing a "8" gallon flush instead of a "4" that should condition the carbon in the filter.
