This filter was a snap to install, and once I did my water pressure from the dispenser was back to normal. If you've
got a refrigerator that uses one of these filters and the water's been coming out slow then it's probably time for a new filter. One word of advice: use a big water pitcher for the first use of the dispenser after the filter change - the pressure has to readjust and it will spit out a few huge blasts of water that will overwhelm your normal water glass. After the couple of big blasts though, you get constant good pressure, better than you remembered was even possible after the gradual slow down with your old filter.

This filter is rated at 750 gallons capacity. If the consumer uses one gallon of water per day in the form of water from the refrigerator dispenser and ice from the ice dispenser, the filter will last 750 days; i.e., just over TWO years. In general, there is no reason to replace the filter yearly, unless you have a really yuccky water source.
In a small household of two adults, the filter should last considerably longer than two years. Furthermore, with the addition of a filtered water dispenser at the sink (such as a GE undercounter unit), the refrigerator filter would be functional for a few years. The undercounter units have a quite large capacity and some use two filter cartridges.

I purchased a Maytag refrigerator from an authorized Maytag dealer in October 2005. I was informed, at the time of purchase, the filter will last 12onths( or very close to 12 months). There is an indicator on the refrigerator that tells me when to change the filter. About a year went by and sure enough the light went on ,I bought a new filter from the Maytag store, and all was well. I followed this every year until 2009. In 2009 I found the filter on Amazon and ordered it. It was $10 cheaper and I did not have to drive 40 plus miles to the Maytag Store. The filter delivered was a 6 MONTH FILTER. It said it on the box. Amazon was excellent with refunding my money. But I still needed a new filter( I thought). So off I went to the Maytag store. The manager of the store sold me the 12 month filter and informed me that this is the only one he sells and that the filter is marked replace 12 months and not to be fooled because the packaging is very similar. Coincidentally, Amazon refunded my money, but the company that filled the order didn't want it back,so I left it in. Sure enough, 6 months later, the light went on to change the filter. I had the one I purchased from the Maytag Store , installed it, and just a couple of days ago, the light went on to change the filter,12 months later. So folks, the 12 month filters are out there. The Amazon description of the filter does not show both sides of the filter and does not show the box. That is where the you will find out whether it is a six or 12 month filter.

The Maytag UKF8001 Purclean11 works for my Whirlpool Refrigerator. The price was the lowest I found.

This filter lasts in our Maytag Ice20 refrigerator exactly one year. It is easy to change. It does make the water taste better, so about $32 per year isn't too much to pay for something we use all the time. I've noticed that this same filter comes with different part numbers and names under the general title of PuriClean II. You may pay more or less to get the same thing, so shop around.

I have a Viking Fridge which "officially" uses the RWFFR filter. While the Viking filter sells for $60+, I was very happy to find a cheaper alternative. This filter is a perfect replacement for much less money. I can't tell any difference in taste, and in comparing the performance data sheets they appear exactly the same. They're probably made in the same factory with just a different sticker slapped on.

I bought an Amana refrigerator a little over a year ago and recently the "Replace Filter" light came on. I shopped several stores around here and was totally confused as to which filter was the right one. I mean, Whirlpool bought Maytag and Amana bought Whirlpool (or something like that), so it is hard to tell which filter was for which fridge. There were no convenient charts to guide you. Finally I went to Google and typed in the part number. Amazon had the best price. We have well water with a whole house filter, but my son noticed the difference right away. Good filter, good price, quick delivery.

I have an Amana fridge with a water filter. It was time for a new pack of filters. I put the model number of my old filters in the search engine and I was referred to the Maytag filters and of course a new model number. I hesitated but thought I can always return them if it's not correct. The new filters fit and work great!. It was an easy purchase. Thanks! It is suggested you change your water filters every 3 months. With just two people in the household we change ours every 6-7 months.

Nothing like original parts
I swapped out my refrigerator filter and that fixed the low flow problem on my water dispenser. All's well now.

In its capacity as the only water filter I'm able to use in my refrigerator's water system this thing does a satisfactory job.
