    It said it would fit in the LG refrigerator. The hole in the very top is too small so the unit won’t fit properly.

    Purchased for my LG refrigerator but ended up exchanging for the LG filter instead. Disappointing this time as the taste was funky. Had purchased before with no issues. Luckily, best buy made an exception and allowed me to exchange for the LG filter. A bit more expensive but taste and quality is significantly better than this brand.
