Samsung DA29-00020B Aqua-Pure Plus Refrigerator Water Filter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great filter, use filtered water practically everyday. Easy to slide in and remove. Love that Samsung made it super simple up in front, don't have to dig looking for where to put the filter in.

One of the best bargains you will ever find. You get two filters for less than half of the price of one. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation is very easy. It took me only around 10 minutes to install. It fits really well. The water looks clean and has a good taste. Hope it will last a long time.

I love my Samsung Refrigerator. But I'm giving this review to warn consumers to please inspect your filter for small cracks etc before installing. My filter ruptured and flooded my house. The service technician had never seen this happen before, but said it could have been caused by the filter being dropped, causing cracks in housing.

The filter is great. The devil's packaging is atrocious. I needed a hacksaw and giant amount of internal rage to get the filter out of the package. And I'm lucky it didn't cut me to shreds in the process. Do better. O/5 for the packaging.

This is just a simple charcoal filter and it won't give us what we need. Charcoal filters won't filter heavy metals and other important contaminants. Samsung is our "go to" brand but didn't like how they put just "charcoal" in their filter instead of KDF etc... If I need to buy another refrigerator, it won't be Samsung just because of the filter issue. I won't feel safe when I use my refrigerator filter, you "must" do better Samsung!

I really need an effective water filter and this is the only one available for my frig. This filter is not helping with a majority of the issues in my drinking water. This is what an analysis from said about this water filter and my drinking water on the Coast of California. What Your Samsung Filter DOES NOT Remove - Critical Gaps for Your Water Quality Issues: - Arsenic (180x above guidelines) - Not removed by carbon filters - Requires reverse osmosis or specialized arsenic removal media - Uranium (12x above guidelines) - Not removed by carbon filters - Requires reverse osmosis or ion exchange - Nitrates (2x above guidelines) - Not removed by carbon filters - Requires reverse osmosis or ion exchange - Many disinfection byproducts - Only partial removal Carbon helps but doesn't eliminate compounds like: Dibromoacetic acid (91x above guidelines) Bromochloroacetic acid (74x above guidelines) Multiple other haloacetic acids

The filter claims it can filter up to 300gal of water yet I haven't even used 5 gallons and its indicating I should replace it. I installed the frig. only 3 months ago with very light water consumption. I'd like to give this a higher rating but at $50 bucks a pop, I can't see using this if this is the life expectancy.

The design of the DA29-00020B has been modified, and without a part number change, no longer locks into the water filter holder. I believe a new supplier of the filter made modifications that ignored the earlier models. Poor engineering effort not to check compatibility with earlier models. My French Door model is only four years old.

Does not appear to actually filter water. My tap water was tested with a TDS meter and it metered 116 ppm (parts per million) of total dissolved solids. I then tested the "filtered water" and the reading was the exact same. This filter appears to just make you think you are getting cleaner water. I had a big detailed review of this filter submitted but it was not published the first time to the website for some odd reason. Thanks Samsung
