everydrop by Whirlpool Ice & Water Refrigerator Filter 3, Aqua, EDR3RXD1

Water tastes great. Super easy to install. Fit perfectly. Great value too because we get it on sale, and the material feels sturdy and potent. It lasts us around a year before we notice its time to change. So that's a plus.

There seem to be a lot of negative reviews that have strangely different complaints but one thing in common: They wanted a "PUR" filter. I wonder if this may be a purely psychological issue; those who expected a PUR filter were disappointed in what they received and looked for something wrong with it. The truth is that this is still a PUR filter. In fact, if you check out the picture of the item right here on the Amazon product page, you will see that on the right side of the box near the bottom is the PUR logo. If you "need" a PUR filter, this is it. I've had no problems with this filter at all after using it for about 4 weeks now. I will mention that I am careful to follow the instructions and flush enough water through the filter initially. If you haven't flushed enough water then any taste issues may be due to that, so perhaps try flushing more water through. The water from my filter tastes exactly the same as it did with the previous version of this filter. I drink several glasses every day and it tastes exactly the same. No one else in my household even noticed that we used a different filter than before. We had several visitors for 4th of July weekend and since we live in the scorching hot desert, we went through at least a few gallons of water through their stay and we actually got comments about how nice and clean it tastes. I will agree with those who complain that the price is getting outrageous. I am bothered that the price has gotten so high. Currently it is about $7 per month to use this filter, and I would definitely spend more than that buying bottled water. I'm not claiming that the price is great, just trying to be pragmatic about something that is as confusingly controversial as a water filter! Overall I would recommend this as an "upgrade" of the previous version since it removes a significantly higher number of contaminants compared to the last version. Seeing as how there's not an option to buy the previous version, the water still tastes great, and the price is still practical compared to the alternative, purchasing this is a good choice in my opinion.

I slammed this product because I thought the problem was the filter, when in fact it turned out to be the filter housing. After replacing that, these filters worked fine. Sorry! OLD REVIEW There is a serious issue with this water filter and it has cost me a lot of money. These filters are not manufactured to the same specifications that they used to be. They are slightly shorter and therefore are not making enough contact with the water filter housing. This leads to water flow to the water dispenser and ice maker slowing to a stall. I’ve purchased three filters. Twice from amazon and one from the manufacturer’s website hoping they had the filter that was the correct dimension. None of that helped, and I spent hours researching online as to what the problem could be. This led me to purchase a multi meter to test the water inlet valve (a common source of water flow problems). I didn’t quite figure out how to use the multi meter correctly (lol) and misdiagnosed the problem as the water inlet valve and purchased a new one. The new one did not solve the problem. Then I noticed that water flow was not an issue whenever the filter was removed. I noticed if I pushed the filter back as far as it could go, water flow was normal. I therefore removed the filter housing and used zip ties to secure the connection between filter and housing tightly. At this point I assumed it had to be the filter housing and not the filter (since I purchased three of those) and purchased a new water filter housing. Well the filter housing came today and guess what? It’s not the filter housing. It’s these stupid filters that don’t fit anymore. I am going to light somebody up at whirlpool next week about these filters, which has caused much aggravation, time and money wasted. But to whom do I direct my frustration? Customer service hotline? I’m glad I didn’t call a repair man who would’ve charged me a ton and not fixed anything either. What a nightmare. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS UNTIL THERE IS SOME CONFIRMATION THAT THESE FILTERS FIT PROPERLY.

This is the easiest, most economical and convenient way to purchase a water filter for my Whirlpool refrigerator. It's not one of those things that is fun to go out and buy but you have to have it. The price on amazon is better than any price I have found in a store and definitely much better than the price you get in the mail offers from whirlpool. Buying this on amazon makes it easy and convenient to go back to my account and buy a new one whenever necessary without having to go to the effort of finding the proper model number and taking that to the store and searching for the right one. These are easy to install and fit perfectly in my refrigerator. I have a whirlpool side by side. I have never had any trouble installing the filter or with leaks etc. It does the job- water tastes good and I have the peace of mind knowing my family is drinking pure water. When you install it, the water filter light turns back to green and you can forget about it until the light turns yellow or red. They seem to last a long time so it's not a purchase I have to make too often even though our water dispenser gets a lot of daily use. The water has a good taste and no smell. The ice also has no odd smell when I use this filter. I would highly recommend this Whirlpool refrigerator filter and would definitely suggest buying it from amazon to save both time and money.

A huge issue for something like this is whether it fits your fridge. We needed one for an older Kenmore side-by-side that we did not have maintenance records for. The Kenmore user manual said it used Part # 9030. Then it listed some others that you might look for: T1RFKB2, T1RFKB1, P1RFKB2, or P1RFKB1. Well, nobody sells any of those anymore. Yipes! Luckily I managed to find a cross-reference someplace and ended up on this page. Plugged my fridge model number in the window above, and the Amazon tool said this would fit. So I ordered and crossed my fingers. Yes, it fits. Installing was a non-event, super easy. Did the flushing as instructed and all that but I did not get any of the spurting or air problems that the user manual seemed to expect. Filled and discarded a few containers of water and then tried it. In my opinion the taste is not as good as my Pur pitcher with the same water source, or the Pur faucet-mount filters I've used over the years. I suspect the pipes in the fridge are older and perhaps adding their own flavor. But it's not bad, and after emptying a couple of bins of ice cubes and more flushing, I think it will be adequate and we will use it. For the same price you could buy an entire Pur faucet mount with filter included, or more than one pitcher. And those are pretty rigorously tested by consumer publications, so you know what you're getting. I think this item ought to be much cheaper given that it will only be used in a refrigerator door, even with icemaker etc. I still need a Pur pitcher for cooking and other stuff. So if it lasts a while I will feel better, but we'll see...

Works as I would expect. Water tastes good.

Filter clogged after 2 months installed in refrigerator. Filter Completely stopped water flow to water dispenser on front door of Kitchenaid refrigerator. Must be Defective filter. Will not buy this brand of filter again..

Perfect fit for our fridge. Costs less and arrived the next day

Whirlpool is the only way to go with your fridge as it’s quality and can last up to six months instead of the ones you have to change monthly

MUY BUEN PRODUCTO

El agua que sale del filtro tiene un intenso sabor a cloro, esto no pasaba con el filtro anterior que es de la misma marca pero fue comprado directamente con whirlpool.

A great filter. No issues with purchase, delivery, installation, and use. Had preliminary concerns after reading some of the comments on the Amazon.com website with relation to it being a downgrade from its predecessor model and the bad taste of its water. However, this is not the case as the filter was of good physical quality while water dispensed had no noticeable undesired taste or scent. Using the water for my drip drop coffee the next day had a marked improvement of my brew! Would recommend, especially I had previously tried (and subsequently returned) generic replacement filters - a night and day result. Also note that it is also compatible with Kenmore side-by-sides that uses 9030 (which is also the Whirlpool 4396710).

Top filter. These may cost more per unit but you pay for what you get. Water is sweet, clean, and no off taste. You know what getting with the original brand. Not something worth chincing on
