Product review (5 stars): Makes great water at a fraction of the cost.
I purchased this filter after seeing that the Samsung replacement filters had increased in cost yet again.  I just can't see paying $45 for a carbon filter.  I work at the water district that supplies our water and know the quality is good.  I just don't like the taste of our water.  Carbon filters make our water taste better.  I read the reviews for this filter and a few others that were advertised as being replacements for my Samsung refrigerator. I was a little leery of the filters that were made in China. One said that they used coconut byproducts in the filter. Not being an expert, I was a little concerned with the China based products since I know they don't go through as extensive of quality testing and that they can use products banned in the US.  I chose this filter based on the reviews and the fact that it was made in the US.  I received the filter in little time.  It came in a white box with just its name on the side.  The filter looks pretty much like the Samsung filter.  It popped in there really easily without leaks.  My water tastes exactly the same as it did with the Samsung filter - just much more cheaply.  I strongly recommend this filter to anyone with a Samsung refrigerator.
