Review 1
i dont understand. I have been buying these oem filters for years now. I never purchased directly from AMAZON but this time automatically ordered through the dash button the purchase automatically went to AMAZON and not the vendors I use to purchase from. Also weird is that there are no other vendors that sell the OEM when I do a search now on Amazon. You can only find aftermarket ones through other vendors. The water is cloudy and chalky and its definitely not from air bubbles. There is a residue and chalk in the cup and this is after a few days and even putting it through a britta filter still cloudy. The water is CRYSTAL CLEAR when we put a bypass filter. Did they change manufacturers? Are these fake? I have NEVER had any issues in the past until now. I returned the first one and received the second one two days later and same results CLOUDY water. If my memory serves me right the old packaging was purple so these may be new manufacturers or new manufacturing and water that comes out does not taste good nor does it look safe to drink.

I opened the package and inspected the item. This item was sold as new, but clearly was tampered with. See the photos. The seam of my old filter has a clean line and the number matches up with the guiding rail. The replacement I just received looks like it was cut and glued back together. I'm going to try: Aqua Drop filters Certified Compatible Cartridge with Frigidaire water filter ULTRAWF

Normally, these filters work fine but I got TWO bad ones in the same order. When I inserted them and went through the purge routine, there were black bits of something that showed up in the initial water stream. I ran the normal 10-15 pitchers of water to get rid of that “baking soda” aftertaste that is present with new filters. Even after the taste was OK, the water remained cloudy – Really unappealing. The photo shows tap water on the left and the “filtered” water on the right. Ugh!

I ordered and installed this filter in October 2016. Everything seemed fine upon arrival and installation. Now it is Jan 6, 2017. My water has been starting to taste metallic, almost like a rust flavor in my water. I dumped all the ice thinking it was maybe freezer burnt ice. Still nasty tasting water. So I put in a new water filter, even though it hasn't been 6 months and my fridge was not telling me to change the filter yet. Presto! Good water again. So…this filter did not last for 6 mo. (with average water use) as it is suppose to as recommended by the manufacture. I will be requesting a refund for my other 4 months of use I did not get from this filter. These things are to expensive to get barely half the use of them.

Been drinking the Citrus favor but decided to shake it up and try the berry. Love it!!! I’ve been keto for over four years now and I’m not to concerned with ketones but love the extra energy boost this gives me without the rapid heartbeat and jitters.

My water was fine until I installed this filter. I have flushed gallons and gallons of water through it and the water is still cloudy. Not the full of air kind of cloudy that clears up if you let it sit, but dirty cloudy. Paid top dollar for the name brand filter and it does not work. Note – if I let it sit to try to clear the water, it does not get clear, but there is a film of a chalky white substance left in the bottom of the glass or container. By the time I installed it, it was too late to return, but this filter was faulty. Money down the drain.

Have now bought 2 of these thru Amazon and both were absolutely horrible. First one was bad and could barely get any water to flow, ice cubes were woefully small due to this lack of water and what did come out, even after flushing well over a gallon thru it, was milky/cloudy with a slight smell. Have a whole home water filter and water everywhere else in the house is just fine so know it's not anything to do with the source water to the refrigerator. Before calling Frigidaire or repair thinking there might be something wrong with the refrigerator itself, I suspected I got a defective one and bought another from Amazon. To my amazement, the second was just as bad as the first. So now almost 100.00 in filters simply gone. So before I called Frigidaire, I first opted to purchase a well known “non oem” filter cartridge and everything works fine so it's not the refrigerator. I then purchased this same filter from our local home improvement store and surprise, that one works just fine! Buyer beware!
Review 8
The first filter I ordered was faulty my water wouldn't run off the fridge. I had to call a technician out to check out my fridge and they told me its the filter. I returned it and received a new filter right away, problem solved. The price is great I saved lots of money ordering from here. Its works great and water tastes awesome.
Conclusion
For this great price, the Frigidaire FBA_ULTRAWF Filter, 11.7 x 2.4 x 3.9 inches, White is highly respected and is always a regular choice with most people. Commercial Water Distributing have added some great touches and this results in great value.
