    Maytag UKF8001 Puriclean II Refrigerator Cyst Water Filter 1-Pack


    NO NEED TO CHANGE FILTER YEARLY FOR MOST USERS5

    This filter is rated at 750 gallons capacity. If the consumer uses one gallon of water per day in the form of water from the refrigerator dispenser and ice from the ice dispenser the filter will last 750 days; i.e. just over TWO years. In general there is no reason to replace the filter yearly unless you have a really yuccky water source.



    In a small household of two adults the filter should last considerably longer than two years. Furthermore with the addition of a filtered water dispenser at the sink (such as a GE undercounter unit) the refrigerator filter would be functional for a few years. The undercounter units have a quite large capacity and some use two filter cartridges.More detail ...

    Maybe 5mins worth of effort?



    Not sure what else to say in a review of this item worked great in our GE fridge.More detail ...

    Braun Brita Patented KWF2 Water Filter (2-Pack)


    Model numbers that this applies to3

    As of 27 October 2002 this filter fits Braun Coffee makers models KF580 KF550 KF510 KF190 KF187 KF180 KF157 KF155 KF150 KF145 KF140 KF130.

    If you go to the Braun Web site and want to search for your model coffee maker be aware that Braun thinks these are two word model numbers. Their search engine wants you to enter KF + 157 for the KF157 model.

    The filters work. We like them more for the hard water problem than the chlorine issue. The filter does both well. Just pricey.More detail ...

    Maytag UKF8001 PuriClean II Refrigerator Cyst Reducing Water Filter 1-Pack


    Simple maintenance for your fridge4

    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.More detail ...

    PUR PBSS Push-Button Refrigerator Ice and Water Filter Cartridge


    ATTENTION: PLEASE READ REGARDING SEARS WHIRLPOOL & PUR5

    It seems there are a LOT of misuderstandings in these reviews. If you own a Sears refridgerator it IS a Whirlpool or Kitchen Aid or whatever else with a "Kenmore" name plate on it. Sears doesn't make their appliances and they purchase appliance from varios companys and put their "Kenmore" brand on it. I have a Whirlpool fridge Whirlpool dishwaher and GE microwave. They all say Kenmore and the stainless stell matches perfectly. A Sears sales rep will tell you who makes the specific unit. This is true for Kenmore washers & dryers as well all appliance. Secondly Whirlpool Kitchen Aid Kenmore etc. do not make the filters. Sears Whirlpool etc. sell the filter with their markings on it. PUR make the filter. This is not a cheaper replacement for the filter it is the same filter. I have been using PUR filters bought on-line for 5 years now and it is the same filter that came in the refridgerator when I bought it. The only thing to keep in mind is that the "universal PUR Filter" that fits all push button in the grill units does not have the same filtration as the the specific PUR filter that comes with the fridge. For example the "Universal" filter is about $26 on Amazon and my fridge came with a PUR 4396710 which cost about $32 on Amazon. Both will work but the $32 unit filters out about 11 types of impurities the $26 unit is 4 types. I buy the 4396710 to protect my 2 year old and wife. What is $7 more when it's your family's health. They are about $50 each at Sears.



    I hope this information helps clear up some misconceptions and helps people make an educated decision on what to buy.More detail ...

    PUR DS-1800Z 2-Stage Water Dispenser


    It was so nice I bought it twice...5

    This is a great water filter and it gets plenty of use in my household. If anything I could say "I wish it held more water" (I drink 3+ litres of water a day and it seems that I am always filling the darned thing up) - but that would be an unreasonable request. Who would want a dispenser so large that it would be unwieldy to carry to the refrigerator? No one - not even me. So I bought a second one so that one of them is always full! This dispenser is slim so that I can easily fit two side by side in my refrigerator. (Can't have too much of a good thing!) And this filter/dispenser is definitely good - it has a large fill "basket" and the 2 stage filter produces water that is completely taste and odor free. I could easily tell the difference in my drinking water! Lastly the filters (with usage indicators) are long-lasting. I have filled my first dispenser twice a day for 1 1/2 months and it still hasn't reached the half way point. Very impressive results! Highly recommend.More detail ...

    Culligan FM-15A Level 3 Faucet Filter


    Very good filter5

    I got my first Culligan faucet filter (FM 15) about 2 years ago after doing quite a bit of research. I finally chose the Culligan over Britta and Pur after reading Consumer Reports regarding their testing of water filters. The Culligan filtered out more impurities and the filter lasted MUCH longer than the others. Best of all it was cheaper back then I don't know if it still is.



    I've been very pleased with the filter with one exception. At my old apartment I had great water pressure. I guess too great for the filter. After about 9 months of use the plastic casing started to leak. The good news is that Culligan warranties the filter so I just took it back to Sears (where I got that one) and they gave me a new one. Thus I still give it a five even with the problem since they warranty it.More detail ...

    Brita 35503 Pitcher Replacement Water Filter Cartridges 3-Pack


    40 gallons of spring-fresh water4

    We always kept two boxes of these on hand as replacements when we used our Brita filter pitcher (we went to an in-line because we drink so much filtered water --we'd go through 40 gallons in no time but that is a LOT of water.) There are three "gotcha's" on these filters to be aware of:

    1. Do not let the filter dry out. When the pitcher is empty you should refill the reservoir right away. When the pitcher is full or partly full the bottom of the filter is in the water and keeping moist.

    2. The filter needs to be soaked and flushed exactly according to directions. Some of the charcoal packing comes off in the flushing process and if you don't take care of it you will have specks in the water. This is no big problem just something to be aware of.

    3. Never put overly warm or hot water through the filter.

    If you follow the directions you will have as we did gallons of water that cost a lot less and taste as good or better than the water you buy in plastic containers in the supermarket.More detail ...

    i was very excited when i looked on amazon and found this product around $10 cheaper than on the web site from the company where i bought my refrigerator. i was a little hesitant (always being a believer in "you get what you pay for") but figured i'd give it a try. to my surprise the item was received only 2 days after i placed the order. i even installed it myself with no problems.More detail ...

    Whirlpool 4396710P PUR Side-by-Side Refrigerator Push Button Cyst Reducing Water Filter 2-Pack


    Works great incredible value overall5

    I have a Kenmore refrigerator form Sears that I bought about a year and a half ago. Kenmore is actually made by Whirlpool and although the filter this replaced was labeled Kenmore this is the exact same filter but labeled Whirlpool instead. I looked it up on the Sears site and they wanted $50 for the same filter. The price is a steal and even though it says 6 months I used it for over a year since I have soft water in my house and only one person. My fridge has a 6 month built in timer that goes from green to orange to red when the 6 months is up. I thought it might be based on actual usage but it's not because it went red at exactly 6 months and I use far less water than most other households. I have no idea why more time would harm a filter as far as I'm concerned it's just a marketing tactic to get you to buy them more often then needed like oil changes every 3000 miles.More detail ...

    Whirlpool 4396841 PUR Side By Side Refrigerator Push Button Fast Fill Water Filter 1-Pack


    Good Filtration But...4

    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!

    PUR CRF-950Z 2-Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter 3-Pack


    Like the old design better.4

    I've been using this filter for many years now and we feel good that PUR filters filter out more unhealthy stuff in the water than other brands do. However the new design for this replacement filter doesn't come with the red moving reminder (for you to know it's time to change the filter) anymore. I don't know the reason why PUR would give up such good design. Now they tell you to just change the filter after a certain time. I still think the reminder design is more accurate since it goes by how much water that's gone through the filter not by how many days.More detail ...

    Cuisinart DCC-RWF Replacement Coffeemaker Water Filters Set of 2


    Freshwater Fluid Flows Freely From Fine Filter!5

    I live in Seoul South Korea where it is inadvisable to drink water directly from the tap. Unless that is your idea of a good time is to let a little amoebic dysentery cozy up and get friendly with your colon.



    Okay so the water isn't ALWAYS that scary to drink. Just uh just most of the time.



    Even when the water doesn't make you sick it usually tastes like it's been funneled through an old radiator. Coffeemakers generally speaking don't include water filters because the brewing process ostensibly kills all of the harmful bacteria. But you can still taste the heavy-metal-goodness in every last drop of leaden java. Lip smacking!



    Anyhoo I purchased a Cuisinart Coffeemaker recently (oh how I love that machine) and it came with a package of these little filter fellows and let me tell you they do the trick. Gone are the filamental-flavors the taste of scalded electrical wire! All that's left is pure watery goodness the clean crisp clarity of two spic-n-span H's and one well-scrubbed O. Now if this little wunder-filter can do THAT for the brackish dreck that passes for water in Seoul imagine how much more effective it would be on YOUR water!



    Uh. Assuming you also do not live in Seoul. Or er Mexico. And parts of Bangladesh. And most of Haiti. And also maybe Djibouti. (Although I think Djibouti's been getting its act together with the public water works system these days thanks to macro-economic reform programs. See the comments section below.)

    New Balance Men's M 993 (Grey 14.0 D)


    Seriously the Best and Made in the USA5

    I still remember the first time I slipped on a pair of 991s it felt like putting on a pair of socks - fantastic. That was a couple of decades ago and I have not purchased a different brand or style of running shoe since then.



    I was a bit surprised when New Balance discontinued the foam cushining 991 and replaced it with the gel cushioned 992. It took a bit of getting used to but I made the transition to 992s. With the 992s also came the option to get several different colors of 992s: the 991s always only came in grey.



    I was elated to learn though that the company had again upgraded to 993s which includes a combination of foam and gel. I think they're lighter than 992s too and the feel on first putting on a pair of 993s is very similar to putting on a pair of 991s. They did keep the multiple color options of the 992 line so you can get these in black grey white.



    Overall I am extremely happy with this product.



    Foremost on my loyalty is the commitment that the company has to local markets. The 993s are Made in the USA and in the back of each of these shoes you can see the prominent USA in bold against an American flag. They are a patriot's shoe and they are quite popular in the military. Unlike other shoe companies that use almost slave child labor to make shoes and then sell them at horrendous profits in America New Balance provides good jobs in the US. Yes they make less profit and they endorse fewer athletes but we buyers are loyal because:



    a) its a fantastic product

    b) probably the best running shoe made (don't take my word try one)

    c) they're made in the USA

    d) the company is committed to local markets and to producing quality running shoes



    No I don't run many marathons anymore (but I have in the past) and I do love these shoes and once every couple of years when my old pair of 993s get relegated to the home repair shoe I will go out and buy a shiny new pair of 993. It's always just a little bit special when I put on a new pair....



    Btw my closet has a lineup from the two pairs of decade old beaten up old 991s that still come out when I do gardening to the 992s that have been recently demoted with the purchase of my 993s: Yes I still own my 991s the go through the washer now and again and they still work even after 10 to 15 years (amazing quality)....but they can't be seen in public anymore.



    Anyhow I hope this helps you make a decision on these shoes. It's hard to find a running shoe that has history and character like this line and I'll admit I'm a bit selfish here the more popular 993s remain - the less likelihood that they'll be discontinued before I die.More detail ...
