Product review (1 stars): Water tastes same as tap water. Waste of money.
As others, wanted to save some money. Was tired of paying almost $50 for authentic MWF GE filter. Installation was fine. First thing I noticed the water flow was drastically better. This would be a bonus BUT the taste of the water is same as tap water. I did taste tests myself and family members. They all agreed it tastes same as tap water. When I say tastes like tap water, I mean it has a chlorine taste. I installed it correctly. It does not take a rocket scientist to install these filters. I even tried to re-install a couple of times. No change. We also have a Brita pitcher and the water is always noticeably better. I am going back to the original GE filter. At least I know it actually filters the water. I challenge others to do a taste test. Keep in mind the fridge cools the water and that may mask the taste so let it get to room temperature.
