Product review (4 stars): Makes water taste good
I got this to replace the same model filter in my refrigerator. It was very easy to replace the filter. I just opened the box and got the filter ready. opened the fridge, removed the old filter and then put in the new one. I didn't need to shut off the water in my GE fridge since it has an automatic shut off when the filter is taken out. I ran a few cups(5-6) of water through the filter then let it sit for 3 hours then ran 3 more cups through before i drank from it. The water tasted much better than before.
The only thing I do not like about this filter is the price. They seem to be marked up way above their production value. I do not like it when a company makes a product like the refrigerator and then makes it to use only their model of water filters, which they grossly over price. It means i am stuck paying big bucks to maintain something that should be much cheaper to maintain. I wish I could find a filter that is a cheap and reliable alternative.
