[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'So it is definitely the correct part number for my Samsung Fridge (model in photos), However...\n\nFirst, the part came quick and as expected. It had the "magnteic" authenticity sticker to check it was not a counterfiet, packaged in a Samsung box, and it fit into the filter socket with no issues... However the plastic flange that sits on the surface of the filter socket; was smaller/ narrower than the stock filter. As a result you can see a space around all 4 sides of the filter after it is installed (see photo with pink arrows). This gap does not impact the fit or function of the filter, it is only an issue of aesthetics. I chose to keep the filter but will most likely pass on buying this particular one again!?\n\nPros:\nFair Price\nSeems Authentic\nQuick arrival\nFits and Performs as expected\n\nCons:\nIs not 100% identical to the factory installed filter - resulting in a gap around all sides of the filter surface.\n\nIf you found my review to be of any help, it would be greatly appreciated if you could click the "helpful" button... Thank you and Stay Safe!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I needed a half-qin filter.\nHow to install, please pay close attention:\nI did not turn the water off to the fridge.\nI did unscrew left using righty tighty, lefty loosey method.\nI pulled the old filter out at about a quarter turn to the left.\nI took the new one, once pkg had been removed and placed it in exactly at the quarter turn position.\nI use light pressure pushing in while again, using righty tighty lefty loosey method, turned it to the right.\nI unlocked the panel in the fridge by holding down for 3 sec as instructed everywhere.\nI reset the filter, Also holding the replace filter button for 3 seconds.\nI ran about 3 gallons through the water dispersing method and it went from cloudy to clear and everying was finished with the last step of discarding the old filter into the garbage.\nIt did not shoot out and cause any damage. It didn't shoot water all over or leak anywhere. So far, this has been a real success.\n\nI dislike paying 2x the cost for it to say Samsung, but it has to say that or it will void my warranty if it's not genuine Samsung filter, I figured I would get a real Samsung one. This was better deal than the Samsung shop app.\n\nIf you also need a half-qin filter, you can purchase with confidence knowing that although a little pricier, if you follow the instructions like I did, you will have no filter warning and clear water again soon. About 2 business days."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Stopped working in less than a month.

The filter that's currently in your fridge, right. Remove it and read its model number! Fool proof yeah? Anyway. All of them are authentic, and so for all the people saying it isn't. You're full of it.\nOkay, now for the review.\nBest tasting water out of a refrigerator I have ever had in my lifes entirety thus far. I never thought fridge water could taste this good. It's not PUR or BRITA taste but it definitely beats anything else I've had. I'd like to think ALL fridge manufacturers have stepped up their filter game to go along with their modern refrigerators."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Before I got this filter my life was a dreary swamp of sock flavored water. I had been listlessly coasting through life without knowing what more lay beyond the horizon. After the simple turn of my old filter and throwing that brick of garbage out my whole world changed. The moment the Samsung Genuine DA97-17376B Refrigerator Water Filter made contact inside of my refrigerator the heavens opened up and I heard and angelic chorus being sung just for me. As this water touched my lips a lifetime of sorrow was washed away in an instant, I now can see farther, hear better, and jump higher than I ever thought was humanly possible. Thank you for this water filter and all that it has done for my life.\n\nP.S.- Results may vary.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I purchased this water filter for my Samsung refrigerator, model # rf23m8070sr.\n\nThis was my first filter replacement since getting my new refrigerator. It was a perfect fit, although I did fumble a bit getting it to lock in (user error).\n\nThe filter is a little pricey, but while under warranty, I will buy the manufacturer parts. There are cheaper, generic options out there.\n\nOne word of warning, at least with my model fridge, when cycling the water after replacement, the spout spit unlike any other fridge I've owned. Hold the cup or pitcher up high till after the water flow has normalized."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Samsung doesn't make to easy to find the correct filter."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "This filter has the same exact model numbers as the one that I intended to replace. Except this is NOT a genuine samsung filter. It looks like it and has all the right logos and fonts on the labels, but it would not install in my fridge. It however doesn't have the Authentication tag in it so I should have known before even attempting that it wouldn't work. I have replaced my filter once already with a store bought filter so I know it's not a me issue.\n\nUnfortunately, since it's past my return window I'm stuck with a fake, useless filter. DO NOT BUY THIS FILTER. Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and save yourself the frustration and time. Might be a little more expensive but at least you know you're getting the right filter."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This filter was easy to replace. Turn the filter base knob counter-clockwise to remove and pull out. Twist the new filter base knob clockwise to install.\nTo reset the filter light, I had to press the Lock button for 3 seconds and the lock light turns off. Then, I pressed the Ice Maker button for 3 seconds for the filter light to turn off. Then, I pressed the Lock again for 3 seconds for the Lock light to turn back on.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Simple to install.
