Product review (5 stars): So far, so good.
I intend to update this review over the next couple of months.

I have a GE Profile PFSS6SKXBSS refrigerator which is now 6 years old.

In that time I've replaced the filter maybe about 10 times. It doesn't get a ton of use since it's only 3 of us in the house and most of the day we're not here.

I've been buying OEM only filter and have been very hesitant to buy anything else since I've had pretty bad experiences buying 3rd party ink cartridges and things like that. When it comes to your drinking water you don't want to mess around. Especially with a toddler in the house.

I decided to give this thing a trial run and update my review ever few weeks.

So far I have to give it 5 stars and here's why:

- packaged arrived on time and perfectly sealed and boxed. Assuming that it was sanitized before packaging, I have every reason to beleieve it still is so.

- the box has instructions on the outside and the filter itself has a sticker seal to protect it.

- I followed the instructions on the box and it installed exactly the same way as my OEM filter.

- during the flushing period of 5 gallons, I heard a few air pockets but it stopped well before I was done.

- water flow has not changed at all. Nice and fast.

- The water tastes great

- The price is half of the OEM filter

I'll update in a few weeks.
