Product review (3 stars): Lower Cost, but for me, lower quality - not worth the $$ saved for me over purchasing the name brand original
I have been buying the name brand filters for several years.  To save cost, I bought this 4 pack generic brand instead. They fit fine, installation was no problem.  But I noticed 2 things:  1 - the water flow was a LOT greater with these filters versus the name brand.  Meaning the name brand filters would fill my glass or pitcher slowly - almost frustratingly so.  These filters seem to not slow down the water pressure or flow at all - allowing for fast fill coming out of my fridge.  2 - The water taste was noticeably NOT AS GOOD as when using the name brand filter.  So now I realize that the name brand filters slowing down the water flow is likely a GOOD thing, so as to give "some" time to filter the water as it goes through the filter.
  My overall opinion:  You get what you pay for.  I always felt a PINCH when buying the name brand filters but even my stickler taste buds could find no fault with the name brand filters.  These filters are noticeably worse.  Now to be fair, I have so far only installed the very FIRST filter of the 4 pack, so it is possible that the next one will be better, and have a cleaner taste.  But if that is the case, it means they wouldn't be consistent quality.
  Bottom line for me:  I won't buy them again, I'll bite the bullet and buy the name brand only, trying to find the best price, or 2 pack to save $$, etc.
