Tools and Hardware Reviews of Amway A101, E84, E-85, E-9225 Compatible Fit Replacement Water Filter
Customer Review: Better than expected by far
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of reviews that question the integrity of this filter. Many reviews mention how small it is compared to the original filter, and some even wonder how it can be sold as "compatible."
First of all, it is smaller than the original, and based on the reviews I wasn't expecting it to last a year. In truth, the filter just stopped working, and it has been 1 year and 4 months since we installed it. This company is now offering a full sized filter, but I ordered another one of these smaller ones. I don't see the point in getting a bigger filter that has the same life.
Generally the term "compatible" is used to indicate that what you are buying is not a direct OEM replacement, but it will fit and work. This filter, while smaller, fits and works in the Amway housing. You won't be disappointed with this filter, or its big brother if you are inclined.
Customer Review: Not equivalent to Amway filter
Summary: 2 Stars
Well....Amazon needs to provide more information because even though it is marketed as Amway compatible it is not the same as Amway's.
First the filtering surface area of the filter is about ½ of the real Amway filter. Also, the filter is good for 6 months where the Amway filter is good for a year. Last, there is no documentation or any paper indentifying who makes the filter, how does it compare to Amway's, and who assumes product liability. I was given the name of the company that makes it but there is nothing in the filter that identifies the manufacturer. For all you can tell, it could have been made in someone's garage in China.
In all, you pay ½ the price but you get what you pay for: ½ the time, ½ the filter surface area and no company willing to assume product liability.
Won't buy it again.
Customer Review: Buyer beware
Summary: 2 Stars
Though it seems like a great deal if you do not investigate, the description does not give the specs on the filter. This is a big problem because you are not able to effectively compare it to the actual Amway filter. The REAL E85 Amway filter will filter out particles down to 0.2 microns in size, filters 1,250 gallons of water, and removes more than 140 contaminants.
You need to ask yourself: will this filter do the same thing? I tried a while back to get more information from a company selling this A101 filter. They didn't have the specs on hand and they couldn't contact anyone for further info. Very questionable at the very least. I passed on this one.
Customer Review: Common sense will tell you!

Common sense will tell you
The beep you get is to "remind" you to replace the filter - not a true test of the filter efficiency.
It is the Max Time length specified before changing, not gallons filtered.
Replace the battery and you'll get another year of service, may or may not be efficient.
1250 or 1000 gallons is the test and an estimate usage in a year.
No Filtration Specs to compare gives me Warning.
May give you good tasting water but the reason I bought this filter is to FILTER OUT THE BAD STUFF!
doe's it do that ?
I guess my only option is to order one to read the specs & compare the ANSI/NSF Standards.
Customer Review: IFfy filter
Summary: 2 Stars
Should have read the other reviews. I guess it is filtering, but I plan to replace it in about 6 months. Besides being smaller, there was no carbon looking water that usually comes out in the first couple of minutes. No carbon means not the same filtering to me. The water doesn't have the nasty taste that is present without a filter. That's why I guess it's filtering. I sure don't have any confidence in this one. I won't buy another one.
