Product review (5 stars): As a Replacement Filter, This One Works for Me
UPDATED:  It is one thing to pay to have a nice refrigerator, but then, to learn that for the life of it, you're going to have to buy replacement filters for the water line at $40+ every six months or so, or $1,200.00 over the 15 year life of a refrigerator, that's a little like them taking advantage of your good nature too much. When I first bought my Samsung refrigerator 4 years ago, the filter ran around $20.00.  This is too much.

This replacement fit my Samsung French Door RFG29BAAPN refrigerator just like the original, and the water tastes nice and with a neutral taste right off.  Testing water from it showed the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) reading of the filtered water was 112.  Tap was 130.  Distilled water was 000.  I have tried another replacement filter from a national big box hardware store that was selling replacement filters for this refrigerator at 2 for $40.00, and the TDS with it dropped only to 128, from 130, and in less than a week, the water didn't taste that much different from the tap water.  Several weeks after installation, the water still tastes fine, cold or at room temperature.  I'll update this review if there are any drops in its performance within its six-months life, but right now, I cannot complain about a filter that works like this one and costs just under $12.00. UPDATE:  After 11 weeks, the water is still tasting good.  The two replacement filters I bought from the big box hardware store at 2 for $40.00 didn't last 4 weeks.  I'll update this review if there are any changes.
