Not Same Quality as OEM
This product although cheaper is only tested to NSF standards not certified by NSF. It only removes contaminents to NSF42 standards which is basically taste. The OEM is CERTIFIED NSF 42 and 53. NSF/ANSI Standard 53 are: heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury and selenium), inorganics (fluoride and nitrate plus nitrite) and volatile organic chemicals (chloroform surrogate as well as individual organic chemicals. These filters will fit just want everyone to make an informed decision of cost vs. quality. No I do not work for LG, Kenmore, etc. just did some research on my own and wanted everyone else to be able to decide for themselves.
Cheaper replacement, does its job
Works as intended - fits perfectly well into our LG fridge, at a fraction of the cost. Have not noticed a difference in water quality. Giving only 4 stars because after installation I had to run ~4 gallons of water through the filter until it came out clear. Original LG filter only required half that.
A heck of a lot cheaper than from Sears
Replaced old filter with no issues. Water now tastes great again. Last filter lasted over a year...time will tell on how long this one will last.
