3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Same as the #4396710, May 16, 2009

By	John Coltrane "MovieLover" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

If you go to PUR's website, you'll find that this filter handles only 4 problem areas: (chlorine, sediment, lead, o-dichlorobenzene).

The more expensive #4396710 Kitchenaid/Whirlpool deals with 11 problem areas (the side of the box lists all these in detail: (chlorine, particulates, lead, mercury, benzene, o-dichlorobenzene, toxaphene, asbestos, cysts, turbidity, atrazine).

The strange thing is that the PUR website only seems to show the cheaper filter and its attendant 4 areas of filtering. It may just be my ineptness, but I couldn't find the other better filter on their website.

My wife, wanting the best water, always opts for the more expensive filter. It's around $60 in local area markets. I just ordered one from Amazon a couple of weeks ago for $35 delivered; other internet dealers carry it for around the same price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Used this in a Kenmore fridge. worked fine, September 15, 2008

By	N. Corrieri (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

First time changing filter. Not sure if all do this, but when i changed, we had extremely high pressure. Im guessing it was acting like there wasnt a filter in at all. Caused water to keep flowing a bit (without pressing).

After that strangeness, took about 6 pitchers to get airbubbles out of filter, etc.


Kenmore and Whirlpool are the samer thing more or less. Works fine now its been in use.

Definately cheaper than getting the kenmore one

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Filter for my Fridge, September 8, 2008

By	BSSKJ (Norwood, MA United States) - See all my reviews

I normally have a tough time finding a filter to fit my Kenmore fridge. Sears is great, but there are none close by to me now. This filter fits perfectly (even though it says Whirlpool) and works great. Ice and water taste so much better than the water straight out of the tap.

Only wish is that Amazon sold them in a 2 pack (since they need changing every 6 months) or subscription.
