I bought a 3 pack of these and could not be more dissatisfied. The water tasted horrible (extremely chemically) from the very first glass (after the 3 minutes flush that was recommended). I used the first filter for about 1 month and the horrible taste was just as strong as the first glass. I am throwing this one (along with the other 2 that came in the pack) away. I went to Best buy and bought a factory Frigidaire filter and the water is back to tasting amazing, crisp and clean. If you shop around online you can find factory filters for less. But remember, you get what you pay for. This has been a $23 lesson to never buy cheap water filters.

we saw the positive reviews here and thought 'how bad can it be?' well let me tell you - *beyond bad - it's awful*. we have had our Frigidaire fridge for 5 years. used pure source filters from an online filter vendor since. this time, when i stumbled upon the RG100 generic filters here, read some positive reviews (and especially noting the price), i decided to give it a shot. result was a week of awful tasting water that did not improve with continued use. we tried to be patient with these filters. thought they would improve with time. but we ended up pouring gallons of water down the sink in vain. it got to the point that when a guest asked for a glass of water the other day, i felt embarrassed to pour her some. well lesson learned. now i know the $30 expense for the pure source filter is well worth it. we replaced these with said filter from a local store this weekend. thank god for good, clean tasting water. and i must say - i am totally confused by the good reviews here.

I received today. Item is slightly shorter than the brand filter. Also the pore size appears to be larger than the brand. It did seem to fit properly in the unit, so I hope it will filter well. No specs listed for what it removes or particle size, but on close inspection of filters the brand has very fine filter papers beneath the plastic netting and the generic one here does not (At least not visible from outside). Much cheaper though, so hopefully quality will be sufficient. Manufacturers should list the filter rates so people know what they are buying. Well cheaper does often mean you give something up. In this taste we did. I can still taste all the dirty water. It taste terrible. At 1st I thought it was do to the needed a flush , not. Poor sizes much larger than on brand. From the physical this is a particle filter only. Spend more on a better product.

After using this, I am very dissatisfied with the product. However the company has told me they will replace or refund my money. I will choose to refund. Not the bargain I thought.

have been using one for two days. water tastes awful. have dumped gallons of water down the drain - no discernible change. we thought that gradually the chemical aftertaste would dissipate but first glass continues to have funny (somewhere between chemical and rubbery) taste. in the past 5 years, have always used the factory ones - pure source i think ($22 each). never had this issue. got cheap this time - you get what you pay for is right. lesson learned.
instructions on pack mention a silicone lubricant that needs to be applied to the o-ring. instructions also says that this is included in the pack. well, it is not.

My water tasted better with an expired filter than it does now. Cheaper is not better.

These filters are not worth it, stick to Pure Source. Not only was there a chemical taste to the water, but the screening began to rust after a week. Spend the extra cash and spring for the real thing.

I shopped at Sears and found one replacement filter for just over $45 and Lowes had them for $30 each so I ordered on-line and in just a couple of days I had 3 of the exact same filter for the cost of 1! I love Amazon!!

DO NOT KNOW WHAT THESE ARE MADE WITH? WILL FIND OUT! AND REPORT TO HEALTH DEPT!

We are very pleased with the filters. Our water tastes great and the filters were much cheaper than those sold at hardware stores.

These are great filters at a great price. There really isn't much else to say about them. They are identical to the more expensive filters I have purchased in the past.

I will be purchasing more of these.
