Kenmore 2-Stage Drinking Water Filter —
I bought this model but with a white faucet. In comparison to water filters that I've seen at friends' homes, this one is the best value. The filters are very affordable.
The water tastes fresh and clean. There are no odors at all.
If you return from lengthy vacation, then the water has a slight carbon taste to it, but that clears up after letting the water run for a minute.
