Product review (1 stars): Buyer beware! This is not a Maytag Whirlpool filter, it is generic replacement only.
I have bought the generic filters prior to this one. the last filter I purchased was the name brand Maytag water filter based on it's ratings from customers. They stated it was more expensive, but lasted longer. I bought the Maytag OEM filter. It lasted twice as long os the generic brands. I was due to replace it and shopped Amazon for the best price on an OEM Maytag replacement and ordered this one based on description. This is just another generic water filter, not OEM replacement and at a higher price when compared to other generics. I am disappointed and should have looked closer at the picture and not the description of the product, which is misleading.
