Overview
Amazon Basics replacement cartridge built to fit Maytag UKF8001-style refrigerator filter housings, using coconut shell carbon and NSF/ANSI 42 certification for chlorine and taste/odor reduction. Suits owners who want a lower-cost swap for the OEM Maytag filter without changing the fridge's dispenser routine.
This is a generic-brand alternative to the pricier OEM Maytag/EveryDrop cartridge, sold on fit rather than any unique filtration chemistry. One buyer flagged a center-hole size mismatch, which is the kind of tolerance issue that can crop up with third-party cartridges even when most units fit fine.
- Lead-free materials certified to NSF/ANSI 372
- Rated for roughly 6 months of typical use
- Leak-resistant seal design
- Tool-free cartridge swap
Who it's for
Fits households running a Maytag UKF8001-compatible fridge who are tired of paying full EveryDrop Filter 4 prices and want faster flow. Not for anyone who has already had a bad experience with off-brand center-hole fit and wants zero risk of that happening again.
Pros and cons
- Installs without tools in typical Maytag housings
- Coconut shell carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor
- NSF/ANSI 42 certified performance
- No printed recycling or disposal guidance
- At least one reported center-hole fit mismatch
- Flow slows as the filter approaches its service life
