[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "The OEM filters are pricey, but to me they're worth every penny. I have looked all around for any other alternative that is rated as highly as these for contaminant reduction and there are none. I cannot find a single filter that replaces UKF8001 that is both NSF/ANSI 42 and NSF/ANSI 53, let alone NSF/ANSI 401 as well! All the cheaper, non-OEM filters that I have seen are NSF 42 only, if certified at all. I don't see the point in wasting money on a cheap filter that may not actually be filtering anything instead of paying up for a filter that filters contaminants like Naproxen and DEET out of the water. Do yourself a favor: if you're actually trying to filter your water, get this filter. I've had 4 now, all worked perfectly."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Tip from refrigerator repairman who replaced a part on my Kitchen-aid KFXS25RYMS0: Buy a tube of food grade white grease -- bought mine on www.smile.amazon.com -- and whenever you replace your refrigerator filter, apply a tiny amount to gaskets and any places that touch. This will prevent the part that seats the filter from wearing and losing its seal and leaking. The smallest tube of this stuff will last two lifetimes.\n\nAs for the filter itself, it seems quite good but I believe the manufacturer is way too proud of its product. Almost $100 for water filters? Hm-m . . .'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "The flow rate on this filter (0.8gpm) is so much better than the generic replacement I had bought while trying to save money (0.5gpm,) that it's easily worth the premium price (and this Amazon price is better than I found anywhere else.) I had a store brand filter from T H*ME D**OT in my Maytag french door refrigerator. You can see in my attached photo the difference in design: This filter, on the right, is larger, and has more holes for the water to flow. The family complained that it took too long to fill glasses; the Keurig reservoir took FOREVER! I timed the old one, it took almost exactly 60 seconds to fill a 1 quart jug. This new Everydrop filter filled the same jug in 32 seconds."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': '...is throw away at least a hundred dollars worth of ruined food from my refrigerator, remove every shelf and drawer, and sop up 2 gallons of water from the inside. I replaced the filter, as I always do. Went back a couple hours later and opened the door to find the thing running water down the back wall of the fridge. Shut of the water valve and removed the filter to see that it had arrived with a hairline crack through the head. (See photo.) Really bad quality control....especially for a filter I have to pay $45 dollars for every 6 months. To say I am irritated would be an understatement.\n\nEDIT TO UPDATE: Though this is an official Whirlpool product being sold by Whirlpool on Amazon with an official "storefront", neither one will take responsibility for the damaged product I received. Amazon will not refund or replace it unless I send it back at my expense, and Whirlpool refuses to do anything at all about it because I did not order directly from their website, despite the fact that they are running this Amazon store and their number is listed as the contact for customer service issues. I have spent 6 weeks going back and forth between the two (my return window has now closed) trying to figure out how to get a replacement at no cost since I was sent a defective product and neither one of them will budge. Absolutely HORRIBLE customer service by both Amazon and Whirlpool/Maytag/Kitchen-Aid.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This filter does cost more, but it fits and works. I bought a 4 pack on eBay for $65. Great deal? Nope. The filters look identical and are packaged identically to the real product, except for a sticker placed over the made in America printing. I tried all four and all four wouldn’t seal because they wouldn’t twist on far enough! They also had unwashed carbon and turned the water black. I tried to flush the one that slightly leaked, but even after about 3 gallons the water was still black. I put the old filter back in and everything was fine. I ordered this ‘real’ OEM one from amazon, installed it with no leaking and it’s just as it should be. I did get a refund from the eBay merchant, but they didn’t want their filters back. Dont waste your time with the $16 knockoffs!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': " This filter is an upgrade to the recommended filter for our 2012 side by side KitchenAid refrigerator.\n\nThe old filter never removed the strong chlorine smell we have with our public water supply; this one did-that's one reason why I gave it 5 stars.\n\nI added a picture of the old filter that this one replaced.\n\nAlthough the filter may seem expensive, I find the Amazon price is better than other retailers who sell this filter. You can always buy several of them at once and save even more money.\n\nPlus, it’s a quality water filter and I feel that’s worth some peace of mind.\n\nCheck out my video showing the install process.\n\nIf my review was useful, please consider giving it a thumbs up.\n\nThank you."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I went through 2 of these filters now. the result SLOW FLOW!!! i believe i found the cause to the problem. If you would happen to look at your bypass cap that comes with the fridge and the filter and see the 2 parts that are raised inside the cap. The cap is raised higher than on the filter which would allow it to push the flow valve in further causing more water to flow. I believe on the filters it's not pushing the valves in far enough to allow a good water flow. the plastic mold isn't correct when they created the filters. The filtering isn't the issue it's the actual plastic mold itself I believe is the issue. Quite a shame for something that's so pricey."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "What happened Whirlpool?

Water flow is better that old version UKF8001. I was skeptical about going from old model to current version. Wow! very glad I did. Don't buy the old version. Get this current one for the better flow alone. And if you are into the filtering aspects as well, and if you can believe labels on stuff you can't see, the new version also removes more contaminants than the old version."}]
