Product review (5 stars): These replacements function as well as the Samsung OEM filters and are much less expensive!
Samsung's OEM water filters are almost prohibitively expensive. These 'generic' filters work great, don't leak and are a fraction of the cost of the OEM filters. The major external difference between Samsung brand filters and these appears to be these have a single external O-ring at the mouth while Samsung's have a double O-ring. I was a bit concerned that these might leak given that difference. These have been installed in my Samsung frig for 2+ months with no leaks. The water tastes and smells as pleasant and unremarkable with these filters as it did with the OEM Samsung filter. Bottom line ... for the price these are excellent value and seem to function as well as the much more expensive versions.
