Review by D. Pratt for Whirlpool 4396510P KitchenAid Side-by-Side Refrigerator Quarter Turn Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 2-Pack Rating: We have a Sears Kenmore refrigerator model number 106.53582300 (made by Whirlpool) that we purchased from Sears. It has the round water filter in the base of the refrigerator that should be replaced every year. Sears sends post cards wanting to sell us a filter for $40 plus shipping. After some research we came across this one for less and it works superbly.
Highly recommended to save money over the Sears option.

Review by Neil Fairall for Whirlpool 4396510P KitchenAid Side-by-Side Refrigerator Quarter Turn Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 2-Pack Rating: The result of fitting this filter was very clean, very pure tasting water. I'll certainly buy it again.

One niggle I have is that I can't find anywhere what the "Class II particulates" it claims to remove are.

Review by for Whirlpool 4396510P KitchenAid Side-by-Side Refrigerator Quarter Turn Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 2-Pack Rating: The term, "Particulates" refers to particles of rust, dirt, sand, and sediment found in drinking water. Water that contains Particulates is typically cloudy, and as you might expect, tastes and smells "dirty". By themselves, Particulates are not known to cause any adverse health effects, but they can sometimes carry other harmful organic, inorganic, and microbiological contaminants through the drinking water system.

In general, better filters will remove finer particles. Each filter's ability to remove particulates is measured against a certain "particulate class", or particle size.

Class I - 0.5 to 1 micron
Class II - 1 to 5 microns
Class III - 5 to 15 microns

Where one micron is one millionth of a meter or approximately 1/25,000 of an inch.

For example, if a filter is rated to remove "95.1% of Particulates (Class II)", that just means that it will remove 95.1% of all particles that are between 1 and 5 microns in size

Review by Michell Lee for Whirlpool 4396510P KitchenAid Side-by-Side Refrigerator Quarter Turn Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 2-Pack Rating: It hard to tell about water filter either it is working or not. I feel better to have it. I found this is one the reasonably priced store.
4396510 is newer model of 4396508 and "p" means "pack".
