This does not fit my refrigerator
I've read many reviews and reports and saw this fit my make and model refrigerator. Unfortunately it does not.
This does not fit a samsung rf267aabp. I'm sure it filters the water perfectly for those iceboxes it does fit.
That is all.

Very effective...too effective?We have a LOT of particulates in our water and this flter does a fantastic job. Unfortunately performance drops quickly reducing flow to an annoyingly slow drizzle. If you have a lot of particles and are not concerned with cysts etc you may want to downgrade to the 8171413 which is also effective with chlorine and lead reduction but seems to last far longer before flow is restricted.

Worked Great!This was a perfect replacement for a Kenmore #9915 filter and $10 less.

Simple maintenance for your fridge
You gotta hand it to Maytag - they made replacing the water filter very simple. Took all of about 30 seconds from start to finish. And about 20 seconds of that was wiping up the water that dripped out of the old filter when I pulled it out so the next change should go even better ;-)
We have a family of six and we drink water almost exclusively so I went ahead and changed the filter at six months just like the owner's guide recommended. However I could see no evidence that the filter was near its end of life and am convinced that I can get more use out of the filters than the suggested six months. I will try to keep an eye on things but without a little window I really have no way other than flow to know what is going on.
And that is why I gave this a rating of four stars. The filter seems to work wonderfully and replacement is a breeze but I would be happier if I could look at the state of the filter while it is in use.

Good Filtration But...We purchased a new Whirlpool refrigerator earlier this year. The new refrigerator has all the marvelous improvements developed in the last ten years for refrigerators including a water filter.
The water filter really does deliver better water. However the water filter seems quite expensive to me. Whirlpool and other manufacturer's that use this type of filter recommend the filter be replaced twice a year whether you need to replace the filter or not.
The filter is relatively easy to replace but be aware of what happens when you pull the filter. To remove the old filter you push a button next to the filter typically to the left of the filter. Then pull on the cap covering the filter and pull the filter out. Make a note of how the filter was oriented when you pull it out.
The filter will now begin dripping water so have a paper towel or small bowl available to let the water drip into. You can either let the filter finish dripping into a sink or throw it into a plastic bag that you can seal to keep the water from dripping out of the bag. Be sure you remove the cover from the filter before you toss it. On our Whirlpool the cover twists counterclockwise for removal.
Install the filter cover onto the new filter. It takes just a twist to lock it into place. Holding the filter so that the two straight pieces on the end of the filter are vertical with the open portion of the filter cover oriented on the bottom slide the new filter straight into the filter cavity until the button on the left clicks to let you know the new filter is locked into place. Note that these instructions are for a Whirlpool but I believe most other refrigerators are similar. You should be ready to go!
Had I known refrigerator water filters were so expensive I might have gone with a refrigerator without one though our local water has a lot of chlorine in it (which is filtered out by the filter).
As with many modern conveniences this water filter represents a convenience that you did not know you needed until you had it. Now that I have it I am wondering whether I want it since I have to spend a chunk of change each year in filter replacements. Oh well. I guess I can sleep more soundly knowing that the water filter is now removing a bunch of stuff from my water that my body either did not want or need.
Good luck!

Class II particulates = filtered particle size: Class II - 1 to 5 micronsThe term "Particulates" refers to particles of rust dirt sand and sediment found in drinking water. Water that contains Particulates is typically cloudy and as you might expect tastes and smells "dirty". By themselves Particulates are not known to cause any adverse health effects but they can sometimes carry other harmful organic inorganic and microbiological contaminants through the drinking water system.
In general better filters will remove finer particles. Each filter's ability to remove particulates is measured against a certain "particulate class" or particle size.
Class I - 0.5 to 1 micron
Class II - 1 to 5 microns
Class III - 5 to 15 microns
Where one micron is one millionth of a meter or approximately 1/25000 of an inch.
For example if a filter is rated to remove "95.1% of Particulates (Class II)" that just means that it will remove 95.1% of all particles that are between 1 and 5 microns in size

Cord only - no kit!
Received this in the mail today - it only includes the power cord even though the page says it is a kit that includes the strain relief etc.
The bag the cord is in has a paper that says "...kit.." and a hole in it - presumable where someone emptied the rest of the kit out. Will be returning.

InSinkErator Evolution Excel 1.0 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
The Insinkerator Evolution Excel is simply the best!!!! This year for Thanksgiving, a guest was helping in the kitchen and put a large amount of potato peels down the disposer. I was concerned because not only was the disposer jammed full of potato peels, but there were a bunch of peels in the sink waiting to be stuffed into the disposer. (This has happened with our old disposer and I got the privilege of trying to unclog a clogged sink - not a fun thing to do with a house full of company). I watched her turn on the disposer and to my amazement they were all disposed of without a jam. At this point the Evolution Excel was worth every penny I paid for it. My only complaint about this disposer is that is almost too quiet. When you turn it on, you can barely hear it run. I have to remind myself to insure it has been turned off because you get a quiet hum when it is running, not like the old disposer that was LOUD. This is great if you have a sleeping baby, etc where you don't want to wake up the neighbors when you run the disposer.

InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
I can't say enough about how happy I am with the Evolution Compact disposal from InSinkErator. I had a fairly high end Kenmore disposal for about a year. It did a good job but was noisy. Then this year there was a fire in my condo unit that resulted in several rooms having to be rebuilt, one of which was the kitchen. When working up the remodeling details, I ran across the Evolution Compact at Home Depot. I wasn't up-to-speed on this new series so I went home and read up as much material as I could find. In short, though I didn't really need a new disposal, I decided to give it a try to see if I could reduce the noise in the kitchen. I am SO GLAD I spent the money for the Evolution Compact. It is significantly quieter than the Kenmore. My sink doesn't rattle like it's going to come loose from the countertop when the disposal is running. Best of all, the Evolution quickly gets rid of anything I've thrown at it, all they while doing it quietly. One thing that attracted my eye in the store was the blue color of unit. It stood out from all the blacks and greys around. While appearence in not necessarily something you look for in a garbage disposal, it does project the image of a high-quality, high-end appliance, something that can be a positive if for any reason you decide to sell your home. I highly recommend the Evolution Series to anyone looking for a new garbage disposal. I agree with a prior reviewer, there are other places where you find the Evolution Compact for $159 so it's worth shopping around unless you live in an area where you have to make a long drive to get to a home center like Lowes or Home Depot.
