Product review (5 stars): Ain't nothin like the real thing baby
I bought a 3 pack of Pureline replacement filters for my Samsung side by side a year ago for about the same price as this one original Samsung filter.  I thought I was a pretty smart shopper when the first 2 worked fine and lasted the full 6 months.  I realized maybe I wasn't as smart as I thought when the 3rd Pureline leaked all over my fridge and kitchen.  I understand that even with one dud I got 12 months of filtering with Pureline for the price of 6 months of Samsung filtering but God only knows how effective these cheap Chinese knock offs were at filtering.  Needless to say I bought the original Samsung and it works like a champ, never again with the Chinese knock-offs for me.
