Product review (1 stars): Not impressed and way too expensive
I resisted getting the off brands but these are so expensive. I ran a few gallons through at first and the water still tastes strange. Not a fan of Kenmore products and when this refrigerator goes I won't deal with them or Sears again in general. It also was in a box that looked like it had been soaked then dried out and fallen off a truck. The orange protective cap was also loose in the box. For all I know it could have been used. Next time I will try the off brands, I can't see how they could be much worse.
UPDATE: Something was definitely wrong with this filter. I had put some ice in a pitcher last night and this morning it smells like mold. I am not saying all the filters were bad because I had gotten them in the past and my only complaint was the expense but this one was definitely bad. They should have been ashamed to even sell this.
