I ordered this because i dont *need* a filter for the refrigerator water. The filtration design on paper looks to be less effective than the OEM filter, but claims to meet one of the NSF standards, though I did not test it. The filter fits into the refrigerator filter location without issue and does not leak.

I love Anolon cookware! This is my second set purchased through Amazon. My first set lasted 10 years (it was not the advanced set) and would have lasted longer if properly cared for, but some members of my household were not very attentive to how they treated the nonstick surface. These will start to fleck if the surface has been roughed up, and heated beyond what is recommended. With that said, I still believe this is some of the best nonstick cookware the average person can buy for everyday, household use. I've had no problem whipping up great tasting family meals in these. The only thing that I would like to see added to this cookware is a vent hole in the lids.
