Product review (1 stars): The filter is a total scam
First, it is the loudest appliance I've ever owned.  The thing that angers me more, is the water filter.  They've build a NFC chip into the filter, so you can not get any after-market filter, you must pay their crazy high price.  More importantly, it decides when the filter must be changed, and cuts off the water flow until you do!  We barely use ice, and have excellent tap water... our last GE Profile refrigerator would alert you that it MAY be time for a filter change, but if the water was still flowing at full stream, you could override that and reset the clock... This one demands it.  So I tried cutting the NFC chip off the filter to get past it... the system says it detected an unauthorized filter, and to prevent the possibility of a water leak, it shut down the whole water/ice system!

What a crock!
