Serves purpose. Too costly replacements.

Skybird from Lebanon, OR

It just seems incredible that this product is so costly to replace. It seems there would be somewhere along the line, a savings in manufacturing that could be passed on to consumer -- it does appear there is significant mark up. Other brands noted for friends refridgerators, seem to last longer & are less in cost (in some cases due to generic brands available, where there are none for this Maytag type). Read more

PuriClean II Filter

Mr Guinness from Janesville WI

Very easy installation. Our well water has a bad smell and a great deal of iron in it. This filter does a great job of removing both. No complaints at all. Read more

PuriClean II Water Filter

Richard from St. Paul, MN

The UKF8001AXX has been upgraded to the UKF9001. The UKF9001AXX filters MTBE (methyl-t-butyl ether) in addition to the contaminants filtered by the UKF8001AXX. I checked with my local water department and their testing revealed no MTBE in our water supply. So, using the older UKF8001, which is a little cheaper and lasts much longer works best for my situation. Save money using the UKF8001 if your water supply is clear of MTBE. Read more

Who'da thunk....

Handy-Anna from York, PA

I'm usually pretty handy around the house...have my very own tool chest and my own power drill....so who would ever think that I would have to make a service appointment to get a water filter changed? Directions say...turn counter clockwise to remove..Turning counter clockwise did nothing more than snap off the filter casing cover. Put that back together and tried again. Casing came off again...but the filter stayed put. Third try (leaving the cover off), resulted in the entire filter unit popping out of its "joints". Put that back together, put the cover back on and called service. Let them figure out how this is done...Assuming that this is a fridge design issue and not a product defect, I must say that other that installation issues, these are very good water filters. Although we dont use the water for drinking, our ice is clean and flavor-free, and thats a very good thing! After all that ...I deserved a nice cold drink! Read more
