Product review (2 stars): I don't like having to buy the Kenmore filters at Sears
I don't like having to buy the Kenmore filters at Sears. It is really out of my way to go shopping at Sears. I do have a Kenmore fridge and I love it, but it is a pain in the butt to go and buy them, so I was trying to find an alternative online. So, I bought the Swift Green filter.

The weird thing about these as that you need to soak them in water for 20 minutes. After soaking them, put it in the fridge and flush out about a gallon of water. This takes a long time. I understand you need to flush a filter, but the water comes out almost black and looks disgusting. It makes me question if I should really be drinking the water after the filter is flushed out...

Speaking of which, the water quality is OK after it is flushed, but I feel like I don't get as much life out of these filters as I do the name brand, so what's the point? Sure, it is easier to buy these, but the quality isn't nearly as good. I am going back to the Kenmore filters.
