Product review (5 stars): Just As Good As OEM MSWF GE Filter at Half Price
I am always looking for ways to save money by escaping the razor/razor blade scenario our corporate masters have put us in.  Refrigerator water filters fall squarely into the category.  There is no worse feeling than being gouged by GE for OEM replacement filters, not only because your money is being pilfered, but making it worse the money is going to a terrible corporation.  Enter Waterdrop and their MSWF GE filter.  Promoted as equivalent in all regards to GE's model but at under half the price.  What makes me comfortable in selecting an after market filter is that the process  of filtering water is not very complicated, so if you can build a receptacle that fits the refrigerator there is no reason that the filter won't do just as good a job.

There are really only three areas to check for here.  The first is fit.  The filter must secure tightly into the filter area without leaking.  Waterdrop's MSWF GE filter fit this bill perfectly.  No issues.  Second, is flow rate.  When I put this filter in and ran it for a while I saw no difference between the OEM and this one, if anything the Waterdrop was a little better.  Last of all, taste.  After drinking a bunch of glasses of water I can confidently say that the water has a good/no taste to it and I can't tell the difference between the last OEM filter I used and this one.  So three for three.  The Waterdrop is a winner.

Remember when installing a new filter to fill up the filter itself with water, this eliminates any captured are inside the filter that might end up slowing down flow.  Also, run about 1-2 gallons of water at first that you throw out.

I recommend this item, it provides the equivalent benefits of the OEM filter at under half the price.  No reason to look anywhere else.  I was offered a discount on this item to test it out and to supply fair and honest review. I personally rely on reviews when shopping on Amazon so writing a review honestly is very important to me. If you found this review helpful please give it a thumbs up.
