Review Of Samsung Fridge Filters & The Competition

Samsung Fridge Filters earned a high five star rating on consumer reports. It was not the most expensive filter on the market, but prices do not always indicate reliability and function. Their consumer service rating was also rated with five stars. This means if you rank service important when you buy a large appliance, Samsung will be there for you.

At the low to medium range, the filters cost $25 to $35, depending on where you purchase them. They are the cheaper if ordered on line, even with the shipping added on.
The Samsung filters were rated high flow for optimal water usage.

Pur fridge filters were also high with a five star rating. They are dependable and easily replaced, like the Samsung, but their cost does not compare to Samsung at $98.99. The filter was rated high flow for convenience to the consumer. Pur uses the five stage carbon filters which remove 99% of the metals, pharmaceuticals, microbial cysts from animal or human feces, and industrial pollutants.

Cuno was also rated with five stars. The consumer has many good filters from which to choose, but their prices ranged a little higher than Samsung at $32 to $52 to replace filters. Larger packs of four could be purchased on line at a discount, but shipping would be added to the cost. Consumer ratings for the service were not listed.

Samsung also has reverse osmosis water filters available. The experts agree this is the best type of water filter system on the market. The costs for reverse osmosis can vary between $180 and $335.

Samsung comes at about the middle range in price, at $250. But their service is, again, rated excellent and so is their product. Samsung uses the five stage system with all American parts, no plastic tanks or fittings.

Consumer reports on reverse osmosis systems agree the American made parts with no plastic tanks or fittings are a must. Samsung uses five stages of filtering with two carbon blocks. Other companies advertise using the four stage system and they do not have carbon blocks, American made parts, or metal tanks like Samsung.
 
Cuno has brands with Amana, Culligan, Maytag, GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, and Kenmore. They filter lead, sediment, and chlorine, but there is more “taste” to the water at $33 to $39.97 each.

Britta makes filters for Braun coffee makers. Consumer reports gave them a four star rating. They are priced from about $5 to $10, with packet of filters for $7 for double packs of two, for portable water filters and pitchers.

There is a growing concern about altrazine in the water tables, especially in cornfield crop areas. The Obama administration is taking a closer look at the facts and figures the manufacturers say is safe. Frogs have been altered by the chemicals in these areas.

American consumers can rejoice that there has been such an outcry for more pure water, because American capitalism has responded with three or four excellent products on the market. Samsung fridge filters are one of the best. Coupled with the average to low price, and the excellent service of a five star water filter system, they are America’s best.
