Product review (4 stars): Works just fine - UPDATE
UPDATE on November 5, 2016: This filter hasn't been in my fridge for five full months, and the red "replace" filter light has already come on. I'd expected it to last at least six months; the original filters did. I've ordered a replacement. I'm still leery of lower priced off-brand versions of this filter so despite the cost I'm sticking with this name brand filter. I like my fridge and don't want to risk messing it up. A friend of mine, with a similar fridge, ignored the filter red light for a couple of years (!!) and finally had a big flooded mess and repair bill as a result. I keep telling myself that the cost of a couple of filters a year is still a savings over what one repair call would cost.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'd stocked up on the "old" original filters for my fridge, so that only lately did I need to re-order. And found that this is the new version. I read reviews here, and worried that it might not work as well as the old ones.

I installed this filter the other day, and ran five gallons through it immediately after installation. I then ran a glass of water through the filter and tasted it. No problems. No funny taste. I'm happy with it. I wasn't thrilled with the price I had to pay, and will keep an eye out for a bargain price in the future.
