Product review (4 stars): Stick with the GE branded filter and avoid the generics
The product was as described and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) filtration cartridge for the GE refrigerator. Amazon was able to offer the product at 10-15% less than in-store purchases making it a go-to option for buying several cartridges at a time. There are several other off-brand replacement cartridges that can save you as much as 50% off the GE cartridge but the reviews were mixed. I like to save money but I also want to make sure that the filter is able to remove the chemical and bacterial contaminants from the city water. I would recommend that you spend the money on the GE filter and find alternatives to saving $20 every six months.
