Product review (5 stars): Perfect Fit
The filter fits perfect in our Samsung refrigerator. I don't have the grip strength I used to, so I use a pliers to grab onto the old filter then twist and pull. I've never had any leaks or drips. Installing the new filter is just as easy with the pliers to push and turn the new filter in the socket.

To save a little money, look under all buying choices for box damaged items. The filter is fine - who cares what the box looks like?
