Product review (3 stars): Replacement Model is Higher Price with Shorter Life
Nice filters for the frig, but this new filter model costs twice as much as the discontinued one, and it does not filter anything more than the old one; plus the directions indicate that it has a shorter life span. Took off one star for Whirlpool doubling the price, and another star for designing the filter to last nearly half as long. I'll probably still use the filter until the frig's end-of-life indicator goes off, instead of the taking Whirlpool's recommendation. I still wouldn't want to go with a generic filter model, unless I find one that appears to be equal quality of the OEM.
