Product review (4 stars): Original Equipment and Worth It
I have tried other filters, but the GE version seems to last longer with good flow and always goes into place the first time, without any leakage.  Make sure that you fill any filter with water BEFORE mounting it in the fridge.  If you don't, the filter will still eventually work, but the lines in the fridge will be under stress as the filter fills and air gets pushed through the system.  This can cause an older, dried out plastic line in the fridge to crack and leak water.  We've had this happen twice with our ten year old GE fridge and each repair costs $200+.
