Product review (4 stars): A Great filter for a great price
The filter is identical in outward appearance to the one sold under the GE brand. it fits exactly into the refrigerator. I haven't run a chemical analysis to determine if it has the same efficiency as the GE brand, but I would certainly feel safe in assuming so. The paper insert with the filter claims to have identical performance. And it's much, much cheaper than the GE brand. The filter is made in China. So, why not 5 stars? It's a small point, but the American flag on the box gives the implication that it's American-made. I believe it is there in an attempt to make the buyer believe it's American made. I don't think there's anything wrong with making products in China, nor do I find Chinese-made products defective. I think it's better to be open and up front with your customers - tell it like it is. Product is 5 stars, packaging is 3 stars, average is 4 stars.
