572 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other water filtration: replacement filters, under-sink and reverse osmosis systems, filter pitchers, water dispensers, coolers, faucet filters and softeners we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['The RWF5800A carries dual certification from IAPMO: NSF/ANSI 42, which covers reduction of aesthetic impurities including chlorine taste and odor, and NSF/ANSI 372, which verifies the filter components meet lead-free material requirements. Having both certifications at this price point is a meaningful differentiator compared to filters with no listed certification.', 'The filter uses advanced coconut shell activated carbon and measures 2.16 x 2.16 x 9 inches. At $24.99 for a 2-pack, it represents strong cost efficiency among IAPMO-certified aftermarket options. The 4.4-star rating from 572 buyers is consistent, though slightly lower than some competitors, suggesting broadly positive but occasionally mixed experiences.', 'Icepure is an established brand in the aftermarket refrigerator filter market. The RWF5800A appears designed for buyers who want verifiable certification without paying OEM prices. The absence of a published capacity figure is a gap worth noting when planning replacement schedules.']

Performance notes
The RWF5800A is certified by IAPMO to NSF/ANSI 42, meaning it is certified to reduce aesthetic impurities such as chlorine taste and odor. It is also certified to NSF/ANSI 372, confirming lead-free material construction. These are independent verifications, not manufacturer-only claims. The filter is not listed as certified to NSF/ANSI 53, which covers health-effects contaminants. Buyers with concerns about lead or other health-effects contaminants in their water should consult the full listing and consider filters with NSF/ANSI 53 certification.
What buyers say
572 reviews at 4.4 stars is a confident sample that leans positive. This rating level typically reflects a product that installs reliably and delivers noticeable taste and odor improvement, with occasional fit or longevity complaints as the likely source of lower ratings.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between NSF/ANSI 42 and NSF/ANSI 372?
NSF/ANSI 42 is a standard for aesthetic effects, primarily certifying that a filter is designed to reduce chlorine taste, odor, and other impurities that affect the sensory quality of water. NSF/ANSI 372 is a material standard confirming that all wetted components of the filter comply with lead-free requirements under federal and state drinking water laws. Both certifications are issued by IAPMO for the RWF5800A.
Does this filter reduce lead from drinking water?
NSF/ANSI 372 certification verifies that the filter's materials are lead-free, meaning the filter itself does not add lead to the water. It does not certify that the filter is designed to reduce lead already present in incoming water. For lead reduction in water, a filter certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for lead is required. The RWF5800A is not listed with that certification in the available data.
How long does each filter in the 2-pack last?
The available product data does not include a published capacity or gallon-life figure for the RWF5800A. Most aftermarket refrigerator filters are designed for approximately six months of typical household use, but actual life depends on water quality and consumption volume. Check the full product listing for any capacity guidance from the manufacturer.
