Product review (2 stars): ... can see by the reviews the majority are very happy with this product
I can see by the reviews the majority are very happy with this product, and I have been in the past as well, but my recent experience was less than stellar.  I ordered two, in order to save on freight (free over $35.00) and because I want to get in a habit of changing this filter more often.  Previously I was using an external filter for many years.  It is much larger, so I changed it less frequently.  Then I switched to this small, expensive internal filter for the convenience - easy to change- and the reputation of the filter.  I had been through two GE MWF filters previously with this fridge since I obtained it and both were great.
This go around, the first filter didn't filter out the chlorine and other taste. It taste exactly like the tap.  I also had trouble getting it to be clear water.  Finally, I removed it and put the second filter in.  I turned the first upside down in a cup to empty the water and found lots of carbon chunks in the water that came out.  I ran a lot of water through the first filter, and convinced myself it was good to go, but my family complained of a soapy taste.  Over time, it seem to get worse, to the point one day I had to spit the water out.  I removed that filter, put the bypass in, and flushed the system.  Now it taste exactly like the tap- which is not great- its not filtered at all, but it is drinkable.  I returned the first filter, and now returning the second. I cant imagine what the problem is that I could get two bum filters in the same shipment.  I am giving 2 stars due to the easy return/refund policy.
