Product review (5 stars): Always dependable and priced right but those days are over.....
So far I am happy with this filter and the savings I got.  It didn't install any harder than the filters I have been buying.  The design of the LG water filter receptacle is absolutely painful to work with when installing the filter.  It seems to be working ok and I will watch to see how much time I get from it.

I would like to add a further review.  When I went to reorder, I placed an order with another filter.  That filter leaked immediately and made a mess of my refrigerator.  I went back in my order history and replaced an order with this filter.  What a relief to discover that the leak went away after installing this filter.  I will never stray again, you get what you pay for.

Update: My 3rd purchase resulted in the first unit leaking profusely, I gave it several days and re-positioned it a couple of times, still no luck.  So I tried to insert the second unit and couldn't get it in place.  Finally I gave up and put the by-pass in.  LG couldn't had designed a worse place to put this filter.  I am sorry that this didn't work out, I had no complaints on my first two orders.  Something has changed.  In the meantime I am drinking unfiltered water and it isn't that bad.

Update: Third review, this last shipment was a nightmare.  The first unit
