I had purchased a new refrigerator that called for this specific filter. I can tell the way it was built and packaged that its extremely heavy duty and would last a long time. It was however disappointing that it called for 4-5 gallons of water to be flushed through the filter, which in essence is a good chunk of life for the filter. Overall, I would purchase again as I have with most appliances being Whirlpool, however, quality control should be a little more careful and also devise a plan to lessen the filtration upon startup to save the life of the cartridge given the expense. Three stars for great customer service / support and quality.
