Product review (5 stars): OEM GE Water Filter - Can't Complain!
When my water filter indicator came on on my GE fridge, I started looking around at local stores (Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot) but saw that they were selling for $39.99 + tax.  I took that price and compared it to Amazon, which sold it for $33.47 (11/2/2012). To save $6.32 cents is a no brainer, so I got mine from Amazon.

It is a genuine OEM GE Water Filter, sealed and boxed in legit GE packaging. I verified this was the one to get by checking the GE.com webpage, so if you're not sure if this is the right one for you, check that website.

As for installation, I didn't follow directions (you're supposed to fill it up with tap water prior to replacement to reduce  "air sputtering" as you try & flush the filter). Because of that, I ended up having to flush about 2 gallons of water.  The directions say if you fill it with water, it will only sputter for around 2 glasses of water.

Either way, it eventually stopped sputtering air and it should last me until the next time the indicator comes back on again.

Highly pleased, especially with the price.
