Product review (4 stars): A little noisier than the original OEM part...
A little noisier than the original OEM part, but the water tastes just as good... Rather, it tastes like water. Which IS good. As long as the fridge door is closed, it's really not noticeably louder; only when the door is open can you really hear it screeching as it filters out whatever it filters... though since it cost less than half of what an OEM filter would have cost, I can live with that. Installation was a snap - literally - I'd never changed a fridge filter before, but after locating mine, I just pulled out the old and clicked in the new one within seconds. Important - be sure to filter out a gallon of water before using it to drink the first time! This clears out any loose carbon in the filter, so it doesn't get into your cup!
