Product review (3 stars): Give it time
At first I was very disappointed as the water was quite dirty looking.  After running about 2 gallons through the water looked clear, but I could still taste something off.  After about three days of normal use, the water looks and tastes good.

This filter is much louder than the OEM (Kenmore) filter, however.  When the ice machine is filling up, it is now very loud.  Doesn't seem as loud when dispensing water, but it dispenses water louder than the OEM filter did.

I can put up with those shortfalls for the price difference versus the OEM filter.
