Filter Compatibility and Installation

Pros:

  • "The filter fit our 2014 whirlpool fridge great."
  • "Ou first time to need a filter on an ice maker refrigerator... this filter is perfect."
  • "Works perfectly for my model - This brand makes the exact filter fit for my Whirlpool."
  • "This is the filter required for my fridge."
  • "The only complaint I have about this filter for my refrigerator is COST."
  • "Needed to replace my filters and got these based on the reviews."

Cons:

  • "I'm on my third one. The 1st lasted about 8 months... The second one I just got in November, it stopped working after about 3 weeks."
  • "Do not buy this brand because you will be GRUNTING to put them in ! Poor workmanship and QA."
  • "I did a side by side comparison of water from the tap vs water out of my ice maker. This filter showed a negligible difference in my water testing equipment, PH levels, etc."
  • "The filter arrived quickly. We installed it right away. It was easy to install. I signed up for it to be sent again when it should be replaced. When I did that, we got a small discount. The flavor is good. I wish it wasn’t as high priced as this is."

Water Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "The flavor of the water is great."
  • "I'm satisfied with the performance of the filter. It delivers great water pressure and effectively filters out contaminants."
  • "We love this filter. While yes, it is one of the only ones that will fit in our fridge, it by far has the best taste."
  • "Needed to replace my filters and got these based on the reviews... Visibly cleaner water - Our ice and water looks crystal clear."
  • "I’m really disappointed of the value for the money, I have noticed that the duration of the product keeps shortening more and more. I bought this filter in February 1st and today March 24th I’m getting the beep on my fridge that I have to order a new filter. Our water consumption has not varied over time and what first lasted a 6 month average now has come to almost 2 months"

Cons:

  • "We ran gallons and gallons of water through this filter, and it tasted terrible for the two weeks we've had it. It tastes like chlorine and aluminum foil."
  • "This filter is adding a lot more calcium carbonate to the water, which when frozen in the ice cubes, shows up in my ice water as white particles suspended in the water that looks like dandruff."
  • "The water flow from my fridge since I installed this has been terrible. It comes out like a trickle and takes forever to fill a cup."
  • "I've been buying this filter every 5-6 month consecutively for the last 5 years. We have not increased our water usage, or the number of people in our household. It makes no sense why it used to last almost half the year and now my "replace filter" light is coming on after just 2 months?? Did they change this product? Not sure if there's another option out there for the specific refrigerator we have but I feel I need to look elsewhere."

Filter Lifespan and Replacement Frequency

Pros:

  • "We have been using this filter for many years... You will get five solid months out of this filter not six."
  • "This is the first time I am replacing the filter. The first filter did a good job so I am expecting this second one to do a good job too."
  • "This is a replacement water filter for refrigerator. I did not install right away, and have since missed the return window. The product doesn’t work and I have followed all the instructions and trouble shooting options - to no avail. So now I have to purchase another one (which isn’t inexpensive!)."
  • "Had this before and now added to Subscribe and Save. Solid, reliable product."
  • "I’ve been buying these directly from Everydrop for years without any problems. This is the first time I bought through Amazon. I bought 2 in March and tried to install today. Neither of the two filters work. Once installed, which is easy, neither one moves water through the the dispenser or ice maker. It’s completely dry. I had to reinstall the old filter (with no problems) in order for the water to flow through my refrigerator for the water dispenser and ice."

Cons:

  • "I'm used to the rinse process and getting some dust that clouds the water and the usual air bubbles, but with this recent filter, we were getting pieces of charcoal in the water."
  • "However, I've noticed that despite the manufacturer's claim of lasting six months, the filter tends to lose its effectiveness after around three months of use."
  • "The last two filters were defective. After 2 months, the black carbon comes out into the water. The filters do not last 6 months any longer."
  • "I can't believe I have to replace the fridge filter so often. The fridge chimes at me when it's time to order a new one, then makes a more dramatic sound when I should replace it."
  • "I don’t even know if it works. I have to throw it away. I sprayed it (not near my face) and it instantly set off my asthma."
