Product review (1 stars): The filter does its job. Let's see how long it lasts.
So far this water filter seems to be doing its job. It was a snap to install in my Samsung refrigerator. Why am I giving it 3 stars? Two reasons (1) the filter is pricey and (2) let's see how long the filter lasts before the red "needs replacement" LED lights up on the fridge panel. If the filter lasts a long time I will upgrade my rating to 4 or even 5 stars. If the filter doesn't last more than say a few months, then my rating will remain as is or possibly get lowered. I expect a $30 filter to last at least a year.

I brought lowered the ranking from 3 starts to 2 stars because it hasn't been a month since I bought this filter and the red light on my fridge is starting to glow indicating that I might need to replace this filter soon. A $30 filter should last more than a month.

Latest Update: The product just doesn't last. If I consider all the ice cubes and water we used that went through this filter, I don't think it amounts to a 5 gallon jug of water. This product is very, very expensive if you consider the time it lasts. Maybe the product (or the Samsung fridge) is designed to deliberately fail after a short period of time so the customer can keep repurchasing the product. this is called planned obsolescence. Needless to say we bought a generic 2-pack filter this time around.
