Product review (5 stars): better warranties and better chances of an ethical supply chain
The GE MWF filters for my GE fridge are $52 each. I'm not the kind of person who tries to buy the cheapest possible thing - branded, OEM products have value when they offer assurances of quality, better warranties and better chances of an ethical supply chain. With that said, MWF filters are just some carbon in a plastic tub and $52 is a complete rip-off. These replacement filters work just fine, my taste buds can detect no appreciable difference with the original GE filters (or another excellent replacement filter I've reviewed previously) but my wallet sure can - these will have saved me $120+ over the next 18 months. I got a review sample at a discount as you'll read below, but that calculation is based on their retail price and it's still a no-brainer - I'll be buying them at full retail when I need more.

Couple the above with the fact that GE is notorious for not only paying 0 tax in the USA but actually receiving money back (how can you get money back if you didn't pay any in the first place? scandalous!) from our government, I feel they've ripped me (and you) off enough already. Buy these filters and support a company that makes money the old-fashioned way - making products that work and charging a fair price for them.

To address the issues raised in another review, you absolutely *must* make sure that these filters match with the model you need. The list of compatible filters is in the listing. Buying them and then complaining that they don't work in a fridge they're not designed for is a bit silly in my opinion.

Nota Bene: I received this product at a discount in exchange for agreeing to review it. While the discount is an incentive to review the product, I am under no obligation to leave a positive review nor would I ever accept such an inducement if it were offered. If you see a 4- or 5-star review from me it means I liked the product, period. I *never* do reviews for products I don't need and wouldn't have bought anyway nor do I review products I don't know enough about to leave a useful, detailed review. I take seriously both my reviews and the implied obligation to other Amazon community members to be objective and truthful when leaving them. While my own tastes, standards, requirements or perspectives might not match your own - as is the natural order of things in our wonderfully diverse world - you can rest assured that I took the time to thoroughly examine the product in question, formulate my views on its merits and demerits and express them in as straightforward and frank a manner as I would hope for in reviews I read myself when shopping on Amazon.
