Product review (3 stars): Updated: Not as good as ones I received previously
UPDATE: March, 2015: I previously rated this filter highly as a good replacement for my GE filter. However, the last one I ordered was terrible. The chlorine smell from the filter was the same as our water from the tap. We never had this problem with the 2 Water Sentinel filters I purchased previously. To the seller's credit, they offered a refund or replacement. Sadly, I think I'll have to go back to the GE brand filters.

My original review:
I was hesitant to purchase a non-GE branded filter replacement, but this one has performed well! I did fill it with water from the tap (slowly) and let the water percolate on down in the filter before I installed it in the refrigerator. I'm so glad I took a chance on this one, as it has performed well at a much better price than the GE brand name filter.
