Product review (5 stars): Works just a well as the original but 1/2 the price
this GE MWF SmartWater Filter work just as well as our original water filter.  I am so glad that my husband ran across this because this filter is 1/2 the price of the one we are replacing.  We use a lot of filtered water and so we change our filter about every 4 months instead of every 6 and at $55.00 a pop it gets pretty expensive.  Our refrigerator is also about 22 years old so that is another reason we like to make sure the filter is changed a little more often.  With all the new technology out there the filters installed in refrigerators now is has all the baking soda and other things included in them to keep them fresher longer.  But if you are needing a new water filter and are considering this one as a replacement for the more expensive one, I do recommend giving it a try.  We have had ours going on about 2 months and we have had no issues at all.  I will definitely be getting this water filter for now on because with the amount of money we are saving and the filtered water is the same there is no sense in changing.  I guess in a few months I will know if the filter lasts any longer.  We go according to the taste of the water and the ice.  I will try to remember to come back and do an update if I see that it goes beyond the 4 months that I usually get out of the original brand filter.
