Product review (2 stars): Whose that with their hand in my pocket ? Oh, it's GE!
This filter has an RFID chip under the plastic wrap. It is on the 'back' side. If the manufacturer doesn't get the position exactly right and the right way up (!) then your filter may not align with the reader in the fridge and you will have a problem.
I imagine it functions fine - who's going to test the water coming out their fridge? But $50+ for a water filter? Please, spare me the insult. GE is a screwed up company these days, in my opinion. This attitude to PR stinks. There are work arounds, which are fiddly, or you can go unfiltered, but you've paid for the technology.
