Product review (1 stars): Save your money and put it toward the GE brand filter you'll ultimately buy, anyway!
Ever-frugal, I ordered this replacement filter for my GE refrigerator hoping to save a few bucks. When it arrived, we installed the filter easily and ran several gallons of water through it. After trying the water, it tasted really funny (bad) so I ran more and more gallons of water through, with no improvement to the taste. I have also dumped our ice multiple times. Now, nearly two months after installing this filter, the water STILL has a metallic/chlorine/chemical-like taste to it. I can't drink it. I have been buying bottled water and bags of ice. Today I made the mistake of filling my thermos with bottled water poured over ice from our freezer. The whole thing ended up tasting awful and I poured it out. I can't stand the chemical taste of the water our fridge is putting out! Even our tap water doesn't taste as bad as the "filtered" water from our fridge. I finally broke down today and purchased a GE brand replacement filter for our fridge. I'm really unhappy that I wasted my money on this filter (and subsequently on bagged ice and bottle water for nearly 2 months). Don't waste your money on this filter! Put it toward the GE brand filter you'll inevitably have to buy anyway. If I could have returned this after we installed it I most definitely would have.
