Product review (5 stars): Gets bad stuff out of water
I use a lot of off-brand stuff to save money, but with the water filter, I do not.  A friend of mine who works at the CDC indicated that some water filters from other countries do not actually do as good of a job.  Whether she is right or not, I am not risking it.  I trust GE as a company that will provide an excellent quality product.  The water out of our refrigerator with this filter tastes much better (less chemically) than the tap water.
