Product review (5 stars): perfect for my GE refrigerator
I read quite a few reviews of this and other generic filters before deciding to go with the name brand.  A lot of the reviews I read for the off-brands said that people had trouble getting the filter to seal in place or that the quality of the water was bad with the new filter.  Some seemed to report receiving filters with damaged filters that released small black particles of the filter itself into the water (i assume it is the carbon or something similar in the filter).  So I decided to stick with the name brand.  It was a bit more expensive, but I felt like it was a safer investment.  I haven't been disappointed. It sealed in place perfectly with minimal effort.  After following the instructions to run 1-2 gallons through the filter upon installation, the water tasted great.  No complaints.  FYI, the first two gallons came out a milky white color, so if you are experiencing this on a new filter, it may just be that you need to run more water through it.  When I hit about 1.25 gallons, the water turned came out crystal clear and tasted great.
