Product review (4 stars): Wrong shape, but correct fit.
I was at first confused by the filter when I opened it. It didn't look like my other filter, no the picture on the website. I thought I had received the wrong product. See picture of a brand new filter that I currently use, and the one I received. It was missing what looks like a cap that is supposed to go on the top of the filter. However, when I examined the tops of the 2 filters, the connecting piece was the same shape and design. So this filter was just designed a little differently, but still fits. I've confirmed that it still fits in my fridge. It's an easy twist and replace filter, so the swap went easy and quickly. I just had to run water into this and dispose of the first batch of water from the line. Water tastes the same (guess it doesn't really matter since I have a reverse osmosis that goes prior to this filter, so I'm getting 2x the filter action) and there is no smell in the water. My fridge filter isn't working as hard since it is getting the cleaned up water prior to getting to this filter, but I still change it regularly to ensure my family gets the cleanest water possible.
