Product review (1 stars): You Get What You Pay For - Buyer Beware
I decided to try these filters because they were significantly cheaper than the GE authentic filters and highly rated. The bottom line is you get what you pay for. The water tasted different than the filtered water using the GE product and/or the PUR filter (which is what my Maytag refrigerator uses) I have in a second home of mine. This caused me to research these filters and they do not clean out as many contaminants from the water as the others two brands. I did not return them because the filtering difference was minimal (98 vs. 100 percent of chemicals, etc..) but the price difference was so substantial. The real problem is that they do not last ... my GE filter might cost me $44 but it lasts me about 9 months or so. This filter is only three months old and I just threw it in the garbage. It was dead ... the water was dispensing at such a low rate that I just wound up replacing it with a GE filter. I am throwing the second filter that came in this two pack out. I don't trust this product. Buyer beware!
