 ATTENTION: PLEASE READ REGARDING SEARS, WHIRLPOOL, & PUR |

It seems there are a LOT of misuderstandings in these reviews. If you own a Sears refridgerator it IS a Whirlpool, or Kitchen Aid, or whatever else with a "Kenmore" name plate on it. Sears doesn't make their appliances and they purchase appliance from varios companys and put their "Kenmore" brand on it. I have a Whirlpool fridge, Whirlpool dishwaher, and GE microwave. They all say Kenmore and the stainless stell matches perfectly. A Sears sales rep will tell you who makes the specific unit. This is true for Kenmore washers & dryers as well, all appliance. Secondly, Whirlpool, Kitchen Aid, Kenmore, etc. do not make the filters. Sears, Whirlpool, etc. sell the filter with their markings on it. PUR make the filter. This is not a cheaper replacement for the filter, it is the same filter. I have been using PUR filters bought on-line for 5 years now and it is the same filter that came in the refridgerator when I bought it. The only thing to keep in mind is that the "universal PUR Filter", that fits all push button, in the grill units, does not have the same filtration as the the specific PUR filter that comes with the fridge. For example the "Universal" filter is about $26 on Amazon and my fridge came with a PUR 4396710 which cost about $32 on Amazon. Both will work, but the $32 unit filters out about 11 types of impurities, the $26 unit is 4 types. I buy the 4396710 to protect my 2 year old and wife. What is $7 more when it's your family's health. They are about $50 each at Sears.
I hope this information helps clear up some misconceptions and helps people make an educated decision on what to buy. |
Great Filter for my Fridge

I normally have a tough time finding a filter to fit my Kenmore fridge. Sears is great, but there are none close by to me now. This filter fits perfectly (even though it says Whirlpool) and works great. Ice and water taste so much better than the water straight out of the tap.
Only wish is that Amazon sold them in a 2 pack (since they need changing every 6 months) or subscription. |
Why pay twice as much to Sears

| Quite simply, this works just the same as the Kenmore filter and costs a lot less money. By the way, a service man told us that even this filter is good for twice the use that the light on the refrigerator suggests. Just reset the light and you keep on using it. We've done this and noticed no degrading of taste or water flow. |

This product, made by PUR, fits Sears and Whirlpool referigerators.
The key to interchangeability is " push button " filter, in the lower, bottom grill.
Sears wants $50 and local Whirlpool retailler wants $40.
$29.99 is a much better price. Shipping might raise the price a little, but much cheaper than Sears shipping. I hope that this article is linked to the item that I bought, PUR PBSS filter. |

I orginally went back to the store where I purchased my refrigerator to get the replacement filter cartridge and they wanted 59.99; in which the sales person told me that was the amount just about every where. Of course I did not take her word and started suffing the web. This product replaced my old one well and I did not have any problems. Will purchase again from Amazon.
Thanks, |

| This product works fine in my Kenmore refrigerator. Save yourself some money over what Sears charges for the same thing. |
No need to go to Sears anymore

| I've been purchasing this filter at Sears for the last 3 yrs and then realized that Amazon sold it for $20 cheaper (plus free shipping). Needless to say I'll be buying it from Amazon in the future. Kenmore is actually made by Whirlpool, so there's no difference between the one Sears sells and this one (except the price!). Thank you Amazon. |

| This was the best price I could find for the Front Push Button Filter. I had no problems with the installation and it only took one pitcher to bleed the system. I will order this again. |
Ummm...how does one rate a water filter?

| It installed easily and was a perfect fit. My water tastes the same as the last filter. Honestly, what else can I say? I'm not a water quality engineer and I did not perform any tests. I'll take their word that it is doing what it is supposed to do. The thing fits and was the lowest priced option I saw when I purchased. I recommend it for those reasons. |

I own a Kitchen Aid Superba Model KSC525INWH00 refrigerator. I used to get the replacement filter cartridges at Sears for $50+. The last time I decided to just forget about filtering the water because at the price I could just as easily use a Brita Pitcher. Then I saw these filters advertised on Amazon for a lot less. A little bit of cross checking around the web convinced me that they were the same filter without the Sears labeling for a lot less money so I ordered one.
I just installed it and everything seems to be the same except for some of the labeling. It said "Double filtration" on the Sears one, but I imagine they all are double filtration. And if they aren't, the water tastes the same and for the lower cost I'm willing to go with this one. I'll be getting my filters from Amazon from now on.

| Bought this whirlpool filter for my Sear's Kenmore refrigerator. I originally bought the Pur Kenmore filter from Sears. It was $52?! Found this Pur filter (states for whirlpool) on amazon.com. Bought TWO filters and had free shipping for less than $50! Happy Happy Savings. This product works perfect in our Kenmore refrigerator. |
1/2 of Sears Price

| Reviewer: my name, |
| A little research goes a long way. We'd ordered the filter from where we got the refrigerator for years. Why it took us so long to check Amazon is beyond me but save yourself some money and get it from here. No problem with ordering. Couldn't tell you how well the product works because it just gets stuck in but it appears to be the exact same thing we've paid more for these past years. |

| Reviewer: L. Devon-Baker, Candler, NC USA |
| Excellent product and replacement for the more expensive counterpart sold from Sears, which is needed in my refrigerator. Savings were substantial enough to always purchase this PURP Filter Cartridge from Amazon. The filter itself performs without incident, fits exactly into the compartment without incident and if you didn't know the item was not a Sear's part, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Highly recommend. |
