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.

Buy PUR PBSS Push-Button Refrigerator Water Filter Now

If you go to PUR's website, you'll find that this filter handles only 4 problem areas: (chlorine, sediment, lead, o-dichlorobenzene).

The more expensive #4396710 Kitchenaid/Whirlpool deals with 11 problem areas (the side of the box lists all these in detail: (chlorine, particulates, lead, mercury, benzene, o-dichlorobenzene, toxaphene, asbestos, cysts, turbidity, atrazine).

The strange thing is that the PUR website only seems to show the cheaper filter and its attendant 4 areas of filtering. It may just be my ineptness, but I couldn't find the other better filter on their website.

My wife, wanting the best water, always opts for the more expensive filter. It's around $60 in local area markets. I just ordered one from Amazon a couple of weeks ago for $35 delivered; other internet dealers carry it for around the same price.

First time changing filter. Not sure if all do this, but when i changed, we had extremely high pressure. Im guessing it was acting like there wasnt a filter in at all. Caused water to keep flowing a bit (without pressing).

After that strangeness, took about 6 pitchers to get airbubbles out of filter, etc.

Kenmore and Whirlpool are the samer thing more or less. Works fine now its been in use.

Definately cheaper than getting the kenmore one

I purchased this filter for my Kenmore side-by-side, which I got from Sears in late 2007. The "official" part number for the water filter my fridge uses is 9030. It is a Pur brand filter.

This one is indeed the correct size/fit; and, as others have mentioned, is much cheaper than getting the one with the Kenmore brand stamped on it. Buy with confidence!
