Overview
The Maxblue DA29-00020B is built to replace Samsung's OEM DA29-00020B filter, one of the most widely used Samsung refrigerator filter formats. At $25.99 for a three-pack, it undercuts most OEM single-unit pricing. The filter carries NSF 42 and 372 certifications, covering aesthetic impurity reduction and lead-free material compliance.
Dimensions of 6.65 by 2.20 by 8.98 inches match the standard DA29-00020B form factor. With 4,700 reviews at a 4.7-star average, this is one of Maxblue's more reviewed products and the volume indicates strong compatibility across Samsung models that use this filter slot.
No capacity or rated service life data is available from the product specifications. Buyers should rely on their refrigerator's change indicator or a six-month replacement schedule as a practical guide.

Performance notes
Certified to NSF 42, this filter is designed to reduce aesthetic impurities such as chlorine taste and odor. NSF 372 verifies the lead-free status of wetted materials. No certification for NSF 53 (lead or cyst reduction) or NSF 401 (emerging contaminants) is listed. The 6.65 x 2.20 x 8.98 inch dimensions align with the Samsung DA29-00020B form factor used in a large portion of the Samsung French door and side-by-side lineup.
What buyers say
With 4,700 ratings at 4.7 stars, buyer sentiment is clearly positive. The high review count for a single filter model is notable and points to consistent fit and performance across a wide range of compatible Samsung refrigerators. Minor complaints in this category typically involve the filter change indicator needing a manual reset after installation.

Frequently asked questions
Will the Maxblue DA29-00020B reset my Samsung fridge's filter light?
Third-party replacement filters generally do not trigger automatic filter light resets on Samsung refrigerators. After installing the new filter, you will typically need to manually reset the change indicator by holding the appropriate button on your fridge's control panel for a few seconds. Consult your refrigerator's owner manual for the exact reset procedure.
Is the Maxblue DA29-00020B compatible with all Samsung fridges using that filter number?
The DA29-00020B is one of Samsung's most common filter formats and Maxblue designs this filter to fit those refrigerators. However, Samsung's lineup includes multiple filter types across different model years. Confirm your refrigerator model number against Maxblue's compatibility list before ordering to be certain of fit.
What certifications does the Maxblue DA29-00020B carry?
The filter is certified to NSF 42, which covers reduction of aesthetic impurities like chlorine taste and odor, and to NSF 372, which verifies lead-free construction of the filter's wetted parts. It is not listed as certified to NSF 53 or 401, so it is designed for taste and odor improvement rather than contaminant reduction beyond that scope.
