Frigidaire FBA_ULTRAWF Filter inches White Reviews Summary

Filter Quality

Pros:

• "The water tastes clean and takes out the impurities in the water. I feel good knowing my water is clean coming from my fridge."
• "This is exactly what you want and would expect in a filter."
• "After initially flushing a few quarts (as directed), it worked perfectly."
• "Great for improving tap water flavor, extremely easy to install and good value for money."
• "The water is clear, odorless and tasteless."
• "Since using this filter, the water and ice from my refrigerator have never tasted better."
• "This filter makes my water and ice taste like clean glacier water."

Cons:

• "The last one I got produced ice that had a horrible chemical taste they took at least 5 tubfuls of ice to clear out."
• "When the filtered water is boiled, the water is cloudy and tastes bad."
• "Every time I install a new one of these filters in my Frigidaire it takes almost 10 gallons of water to clear the white particle film that dispenses with every glass."
• "Recently the water and ice began to taste like plastic and chemicals (the tap water tastes fine)."
• "For whatever reason they seem to have changed this filter. It does more water softening now than actual filtration and my water is coming out tasting like baking soda."
• "Every since I bought this filter it’s had a funny taste no matter how much water I rent through it it still has a funny taste."
• "Like most others recently these filters aren't worth a damn anymore. Slowed to unusable flow after a month."

Filter Installation

Pros:

• "Easy to install, pop the old one out and the new one in."
• "Easy snap out/in done in about 30 seconds."
• "It came a day early and it looks like the one that I took out. Fits great and easy to installed."
• "Easy to install, just takes a few seconds."
• "Our light came on that our filter in our Fridgedaire needed replaced and its so easy to install just press your old one in, it clicks then you slide it out, take off protective clip of new one and slide it in until it clicks ...easy peazy!!"
• "Works great! Easy to install and has worked for a long time (just realized 11 months)."
• "These filters are really easy to install and remove."

Cons:

• "Did not fit. Ordered directly from Frigidaire the same part as our old filters. Everything the same, except the two insert tabs on new ones (reviewed here) were smaller than the old ones by a fraction so they won't fit the fridge."
• "Was hard to install unlike the factory one.. cracked all along the seam and drained all in my fridge."
• "The filter that I received had one of the prongs broken off, so I was not able to use it."
• "Great product, however if you install it once it can’t be put back in once taken out, even if by mistake."
• "It arrived broken due to poor packaging."
• "The filter did not fit right in the fridge, because the water coming out of the door kept squirting as if the pressure was incorrect."
• "Could not get the filter to lock in place. Had to remove the catch from the previous filter and install on the new one, then it could be locked in properly."

Filter Cost

Pros:

• "Have to buy these things Hate the price of them but the cost on Amazon was better than at Lowes or directly through Frigidaire."
• "This was much cheaper than buying from Frigidaire."
• "Definitely worth every penny considering the price of the oem equipment."
• "I buy this brand for my Fridge. If I buy straight from Frigidaire, it cost a lot more. This is the best one for the money."
• "For about 20$ less than the big blue home improvement store. Will order again for sure."
• "I buy this filter every 6 months and they have not failed me yet."
• "I checked on line to other places and this was the least inexpensive for the actual name brand not after market. Seems to work."
