Product review (5 stars): GE Filter the water for clear results.
I have a GE water dispensing refrigerator and would not be without this filter.  I sometimes lasts 5-6 months and I get clear, fresh tasting water and ice cubes.  I did once try a "generic" filter that fit into the refrigerator, however it only lasted 2 months after which time the water stream diminished substantially and the water started tasting brackish.  I have had my refrigerator since 2008 and I can firmly say that there truly is no other brand of filter for me.  Definitely worth the cost, especially when one compares the cost of bottled water with the cost of the water you will be getting when using this filter in your fridge. Oh, one should be mindful of any water main work which might be done in the street,  as the particulates and sediment released when the pipes are disturbed can get into your filter through the water system.  This may cause it to clog somewhat and affect the longevity of the filter. It did happen to me once, however, the filter did block the sediment and gunk and my water was still clear and fresh.
