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

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.
Good but could be better.
I used a water quality tester, TDS meter, got ~ 35 from Samsung filter compares to ~ 20 to my reverse osmosis filter within 5 filters drinking water system. I connected my drinking water line to Samsung frig., but can not get rid of Samsung water filter.
I realize your experience has been less than ideal, and I'd like to change that. I want to help by providing you this link to an article with information that addresses your concerns: 1.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR MY SAMSUNG REFRIGERATOR.
purchased my refrigerator 2018. a big water leak was detected inside the where you insert the water filter. it was good that i have ordered an extended warranty for the product. what if? i have not the extended warranty? i am screwd. my samsung/lowes give me a new refrigerator if the problem is not fixed? the bottom line is, i'll stay away from samsung appliances all of it.

Design Change does fit 4 year old French Door Model
The design of the DA29-00020B has been modified, and without a part number change, no longer locks into the water filter holder. I believe a new supplier of the filter made modifications that ignored the earlier models. Poor engineering effort not to check compatibility with earlier models. My French Door model is only four years old.

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.

Not what it used to be
I refuse to drink water from the faucet since it has a horrible taste, hence the purchase of a filtration system. However, as of recent the water coming out of the refrigerator has the same taste, not only I but no one in the house wants to drink the water from the refrigerator any more. Not sure what happened to this filter but it's not what it used to be.

Good filter, better than the one that came with the refrigerator
I was skeptical to buy the same filter again but this filter worked great and so I decided to subscribe to filter renewal program with Samsung. Tried couple other replacement filters from online retailers but they didn't work out as good and somehow their quality was questionable.
HAF-CIN Water Filter
The filter claims it can filter up to 300gal of water yet I haven't even used 5 gallons and its indicating I should replace it. I installed the frig. only 3 months ago with very light water consumption. I'd like to give this a higher rating but at $50 bucks a pop, I can't see using this if this is the life expectancy.

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.
