Don't buy a refrigerator that uses this filter
on May 31, 2024
Posted by: dmom
I have never had a filter so hard to install. My filter has leaked since the day we bought the refrigerator. I decided to check to see if the filter was installed correctly. It took over 30 minutes to get it back in and it is still leaking. It makes me want to get rid of my refrigerator which is less than 5 months old. No more Samsung refrigerators for me.

Hit or miss. Inconsistent quality.
on January 15, 2026
Posted by: Kalle
I regularly buy these from Samsung and noticed that these are hit or miss. Sometimes they do not make a difference in the water taste at all. (double checked seating, etc.) Then I grab a new one and water immediately tastes better. Not sure why some filters don't work. Out of the 6 I purchased, 3 had issues where the water tasted like tap water. The other 3 worked great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Water and ice taste good. Good for 300 gallons which lasts us for almost a full year
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very, very difficult to install
on February 14, 2026
Posted by: Thomas Lee
It is almost impossible to get the old filter out and install a new filter. The filter does not want to turn and it feels like excessive force is required to do it. I laughed when I saw how easy it looks on the video.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung Water Filter Test — No Real Change
on February 22, 2026
Posted by: Larissa
from Florida
I compared tap water and filtered water using a TDS meter. Tap water measured 122 ppm and filtered water 130 ppm. Based on these results, I couldn’t see any improvement with the filter, since the mineral levels were basically the same.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awful grip architecture
on January 22, 2024
Posted by: MNshopper
from Minnesota
The Watts version of the filter was clearly designed by someone with no spacial physics knowledge. The 'finger friendly' curved grip gives you no leverage to turn it once it's halfway to the vertical position unless your wrist is double jointed. I can't even give the rest of the product any time for this review..when I had to use additional tools to twist the mechanism all the way.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
