Product review (4 stars): I've Tried the "MWF-Compatible" filters - Staying with GE "Genuine" Filter
We've owned our GE Side-by-side Refrigerator since 2008 and our family of six uses the water and ice dispenser A LOT.  Whether it's for our morning coffee, filling up our kids' water jugs for sports, or getting ice for our evening drinks, we are constantly in need of good, clean water.  I've tried the less expensive filters and for the most part they've worked fine and I didn't notice my water tasting any different among the filters.  They all did a good job removing the chlorine taste we sometimes experience with Florida water.  Recently, I started thinking, do I really know what these "knock-off" or "MWF-compatible" companies are actually using INSIDE the filters?  Are the knock-offs actually getting tested?  I may be unnecessarily concerned, but we drink A LOT of water, and I still think back to what happened in Florida between 2001-09 when over 100K homes were affected by the Chinese drywall disaster.  As a result, I'm going to stick with the GE "Genuine" filters. Based on the price difference, I'm paying about $4/month more to use the GE Genuine filter versus a "compatible" filter, so that's my cost for peace of mind.

Like most Amazon shoppers, I count on honest, unbiased reviews.  I hope you have found this review helpful in making your purchase decision.
