Product review (4 stars): Be a smarter consumer !!!!!!!!!
This appears to work as well as the  "LG" branded filter selling at Home Depot for $49.95. All the stock at the store was old and dusty. That leads me to think  people must be aware by now,  that the "branded" item price is a scam by LG.  This is not an  unusual  practice. It is often done by almost every maker of consumer products today.  Just another way to generate a revenue stream.  Both the LG and Waterdrop  are made in China. Probably not an issue.  It fits exactly as it should. Has not shown any signs of leaking. The water tastes the same as before when using the factory LG filter.  Save some money and buy these.  If any issues appear, I will update my review.
