Samsung Genuine Water Filter, Haf-Cin, 2 Pack

Walmart has the best price delivered to me without me having to go to the store to purchase them. They are the best brand and come with Genuine brand name on them.

Compare to OE shop, I can save 40% with the same quality.

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!

Wrong item

These filters never top tasting bad. I bought a box of 3 and threw the other 2 out. We have followed the instructions and we have run countless gallons of water through the filter and it still tastes horrible. Don't waste your money. Nice thing is our model refrigerator can operate without the filter. I purchased an 'in-line' filter to filter the water before it gets to the refrigerator.

Received and opened my package 20 minutes ago to find the Samsung water filter box inside was already opened on one end and poorly taped on the other end. One of the filters inside was plastic wrapped, the other wasn't wrapped at all. For the money I spent, I foolishly expected something new. Now I'm looking at one opened filter I can't trust and one wrapped in plastic that makes me question its contents. I received what looks like a re-packaged returned item.

I bought this product over 3 months ago. I bought some strips to test the water in the house for hardness. Even with this filter in the refrigerator the water from the refrigerator still says it's just as hard as the water coming directly out of the sink. So it's not a good product for me. I need a water filter that helps with the chemicals in the water plus how hard my water is.

I have a model RFG298HDRS Samsung refrigerator built in 2012. The fridge has been great and still works except for one small issue: new HAF-CIN water filters do not work. In fact, Samsung doesn't even list this model on the filter finder page, almost as if they didn't expect their product to last more than 10 years. I've been purchasing genuine Samsung water filters for the life of the fridge, and the last ones I bought won't work at all. The water can barely make it through the filter due to a design change. When I remove the filter, the dispenser works fine. Samsung seems to have value engineered themselves right out of a repeat customer when the time comes when I really need to replace this refrigerator.
