Doesn’t help with hard water.
I bought this product over 3 months ago. I bought some strips to test the water in the house for hardness. Even with this filter in the refrigerator the water from the refrigerator still says it’s just as hard as the water coming directly out of the sink. So it’s not a good product for me. I need a water filter that helps with the chemicals in the water plus how hard my water is.

Short life and high cost filters eat you budget
I ah e had my refrigerator for 2.5 years and it only had an ice maker. It eats through the filters in about 3.5 months. My previous Frigidaire filters were cheaper and lates about 9 months covering ice maker and water dispenser. Love the fridge but the filter cost is very high and short lasting. Samsung need to improve filter life and lower the cost.

New Design Doesn't Work on Older Refrigerators
I have a model RFG298HDRS Samsung refrigerator built in 2012. The fridge has been great and still works except for one small issue: new HAF-CIN water filters do not work. In fact, Samsung doesn't even list this model on the filter finder page, almost as if they didn't expect their product to last more than 10 years. I've been purchasing genuine Samsung water filters for the life of the fridge, and the last ones I bought won't work at all. The water can barely make it through the filter due to a design change. When I remove the filter, the dispenser works fine. Samsung seems to have value engineered themselves right out of a repeat customer when the time comes when I really need to replace this refrigerator.

Excellent cool and crisp water every time. Highly recommend!
So far this filter has lasted over 6 months and it's still going. It is used daily for a family of 6. The water is amazing. In general, the water in the foothills is already pretty good, but when you add this filter it tastes like bottled water every time. I would definitely recommend. The only downside is the cost, however, you don't need to replace it as often as normal filters so you are definitely getting your moneys worth out of it. You'll get about 300 gallons out of it but I'm sure you'll get excellent tasting water way beyond that.
Placebo
Does not appear to actually filter water. My tap water was tested with a TDS meter and it metered 116 ppm (parts per million) of total dissolved solids. I then tested the "filtered water" and the reading was the exact same. This filter appears to just make you think you are getting cleaner water. I had a big detailed review of this filter submitted but it was not published the first time to the website for some odd reason. Thanks Samsung

What is this!?
Received and opened my package 20 minutes ago to find the Samsung water filter box inside was already opened on one end and poorly taped on the other end. One of the filters inside was plastic wrapped, the other wasn’t wrapped at all. For the money I spent, I foolishly expected something new. Now I’m looking at one opened filter I can’t trust and one wrapped in plastic that makes me question its contents. I received what looks like a re-packaged returned item.

water filter/refrigerator
It was a very easy switch to replace the water filter on our Samsung refrigerator. Since it was my first time switching the water filter I thought I should read the instructions before I attempted the switch. Everything went very smoothly and as long as the wife is happy, well everything is good. My wife did a great job on the choice she made with the purchase of the refrigerator and now it's my job to keep it in great working condition. I would recommend a factory replacement if for no other reason than the piece of mind.
Flow of water dropped drastically after only a week; prev filter lasted an year
Purchased a replacement filter - Samsung - from a big box home appliance store and installed it according to directions. Let water flow for several gallons - again, according to the directions on the package. Worked well for a week, and then water flow began dropping. Now it takes more than 20 seconds to fill a 6 oz juice glass. Everything else - faucet position, water pressure, plumbing setup remains unchanged. Possible a defective filter? I dont know.

What exactly does the filter filter??
interesting that the description of this filter, which I use for our fridge, only provides the most general and meaningless content possible, such as "reduces 99% of potentially harmful contaminants." I have been unable to find information anywhere online about what specific contaminates it is intended to filter and at what levels. Does this also apply to heavy metals? If so, where is the information? Merely stating it does is not sufficient. And who/what are these generic contaminates potentially harmful to -- the appliance or humans? Very suspicious that this information is not provided. It wouldn't even bother me very much if the filter is intended to protect the appliance rather than humans. At the very least I would better understand the potential exposure of contaminants to my family and could take additional action if or as needed. I suspect the filter does not do very much and provides a false sense of security of filtering contaminates that are harmful to people. If I'm wrong, please point me to the information.

It's a filter
These filters are kind of expensive unless you enroll in the auto renewal plan. With the plan I feel the price is fair. I have found however when comparing this filter to a Brita filter that the Samsung filter leaves more particles left over in the water. This was tested several times with a clear glass pitcher. Tap water still tastes great out of this fridge and filter. I just have some concerns about the contaminants it did not filter out.
