Tools and Hardware Reviews of Whirlpool 4396510P KitchenAid Quarter-Turn Cyst-Reducing Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Best Water Filter I Have Bought & Used
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator and have used sveral brands of replacement water filters.
I have used Kenmore 46-9010
I have used WaterSentinel WSW-1
I have used Whirlpool 4396508
(the filter being rated is the newer version of the older filter above)
The Whirlpool #4396510 is the newer version and does not need to have a gallon of water run through it after installing it (even though I did flush a liter or two through it to get the air out of the system and to ensure no leaks).
What I like about this filter is the following:
1) NSF certified/tested to tests #42 and #53 (not all filters are tested at all or do not test to #53).
2) This filter claims to removes cysts (whatever they are), but again not all filters claim to remove whatever this is... so it must be a capability that this filter or the tests above meet and allow for (again, other brands do not state, so they must not)??
What I like, is that this filter is a name brand filter for $25.00/ea, tested and certfied, ships free as it meets the minimum shipping amount due to being a 2-pack (so I have year's worth of filters since I replace every 6 months as required)... and compared to the lower price of the cheaper filters available, I do not mind paying an extra $7.00/ea for the benefits mentioned above.... for me it is worth it!!!
As mentioned above, I have purchased and used various replacement filters that all seemed to work, but for the money, this filter has all the right specifications, certifications and that it is the new/updated part number to the Whirlpool filter #4396508 which does not require a gallon of water to be run through it flush out any loose carbon particles.
Buy and enjoy.
Customer Review: Best filter & Amazon has best price
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw cheaper brands, and did comparison research on what contaminants the off-brands filtered vs. the Whirlpool. If you're concerned about filtering heavy metals and chems out of your drinking water, the Whirlpool "cyst reducing" filter has better filtration specs than the cheaper off brands. Amazon's price was as cheap as any other place i could find--cheaper than most.Customer Review: Excellent

This filter is required for our refrigerator, and through this seller you get manufacturer recommended replacement parts for a very low costCustomer Review: Filters
Summary: 5 Stars
There is not much to say. These are the filters that fit my refrigerator and my options are limited. I feel the price is way too high for filters that last less than 6 months, but the alternatives are either the same price or made by some unknown manufacturer. I rated 5-stars because the filters do work and function as designed. There is a very noticeable improvement in the taste of the water vs. the tap. That is saying something, because my community has one of the best municipal water systems in the USA and is known for producing high quality water.Customer Review: For me, it's all about taste
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot stand most bottled water. It tastes metallic to me. I don't know anything about impurities and chemicals and all that. All I care about is taste. I like my water tasteless, meaning without a metallic after taste. Evian works for me, but is too expensive. Fortunately, this filter makes the water tasteless and I'm quite pleased with it.
