Feedback & Overview
Actual Customer Feedback:
"Flow is excellent. Water is tasteless (previously had a strong chlorine and metallic tase). I saw plenty of replacement filters at the store for this model and I don't think they are being discontinued."

"The system works great, but it is going back to the store. I'm not paying $140 for one six-month filter cycle."

"My wife and I purchased this water filtering system when we bought a new house just outside of Cincinnati and it has been great. Our water was not worth drinking before I installed this water system, which by the way is very easy for the do-it-yourselfer. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that feels their water is unsafe to drink."
Portion of a comment from Sears website

The Kenmore Deluxe Water Filter  is a well engineered filter. Performance is on par with most other filters. The Aquasana AQ-400 has a lower annual cost to run and filters out MTBEs (see specification sheet for explanation)
