everydrop EDR1RXD1 Refrigerator Water Filter 1
everydrop by Whirlpool
The genuine everydrop Filter 1 (EDR1RXD1) is the factory cartridge for most Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Amana side-by-side refrigerators, and the single best-reviewed fridge filter on Amazon. It is NSF/ANSI 42 certified for chlorine taste and odor, drops straight into the filter housing, and is the safe default when you want guaranteed fit and certified taste reduction over saving a few dollars on an aftermarket clone.

- Whirlpool's own filters are the same cartridge under both names
- A cheaper Whirlpool-branded version works without trouble
- Some owners feel the 90-day reminder is a timer, not a real test
“Everydrop is a Whirlpool brand — I compared the two boxes and they're the exact same filter.”
Our Review
If your refrigerator takes an everydrop Filter 1, this is the no-drama choice: it is the genuine cartridge, it fits without coaxing or error lights, and its NSF/ANSI 42 certification means the chlorine-taste reduction is verified rather than merely advertised. With more than a hundred thousand reviews it is also the most road-tested fridge filter on the market. The honest limits are price and scope: a single OEM cartridge costs more than a whole three-pack of a Waterdrop equivalent, and the Filter 1 is certified for taste only — if your water report shows lead or you want cyst reduction, step up to the everydrop Filter 3, which adds NSF/ANSI 53 certification. But for the most common reason people change a fridge filter — keeping ice and water tasting clean with zero fit hassles — the genuine Filter 1 is the benchmark every aftermarket pick is measured against.
Pros
- +Genuine OEM fit removes any guesswork about leaks or error lights
- +NSF/ANSI 42 certified for chlorine taste and odor — verified, not claimed
- +By far the deepest review history of any fridge filter here
- +Long ~6-month / 200-gallon rated life between replacements
- +Tool-free push-in swap takes seconds
Cons
- -Most expensive way to filter, per cartridge, versus aftermarket packs
- -Certified for taste (42) only — not lead or cysts like the Filter 3
- -Single-pack pricing adds up over a year of replacements
- -Only fits everydrop Filter 1 housings, not other brands
