Product review (2 stars): Not the same as GE.
So far not good.  I replaced the GE one because they seem to be raising their prices and this is half the price.  I installed it and after running the suggested few gallons thru it, it still seems to have an after leaking affect not from the filter but from the dispenser.  I have replaced dozens of the GE filters over the last 10 years and have never had this.  It usually takes few gallons of water to get all the air out, but doesn't seem to help this time.
