Product review (3 stars): Good value but mediocre performance.
On the one hand, these are slightly cheaper than other non-original alternatives and much cheaper than the original filter. However, what's the point of paying less if it doesn't perform it's most basic function very well?!?!  I've tried a variety of different brands and I'm giving these a 3 rating based on the fact they're not the worst and not the best. They do reduce the chlorine taste and smell BUT they don't eliminate it. If a reduction is good enough then these may be a good deal for you. But, if you find the taste/smell of chlorine nauseating or you just want to eliminate ingesting chemicals as much as reasonably possible then there are better filters available.
