All three replacement filters from FiltersFast exhibit issues. Poor water flow and squeal from inside the fridge. Replaced new filter with old one and all is fine. New filters are different on the insert - old ones had one large hole with multiple tiny holes around it. New ones have one large hole and two slotted holes on each side. All three new ones are lousy. Takes 45-60 seconds to fill a standard 8oz glass. Not acceptable. Called GE directly who said no change has been made to product line. Bought two more in town, one from Sears, another from HH Gregg. Both have the same design as the new ones from FiltersFast and are also lousy.

I have resorted to using the filter plug in order to have decent water flow. The filter design has obviously changed and either GE is not admitting to it or their representatives are ignorant to the change.

I hate my fridge now and currently using a Brita pitcher filter on the counter top. Neither Filtersfast, Sears or HH Gregg will accept a return. I'm now a proud owner of six new filters, over $200 in cost, that won't work worth a flip. Oh, and those of you who want to repeat what GE told me over the phone - yes, both the old filter with the tiny holes and the bypass plug work fine. There is NO clog in the water line. It's the lousy new filters that GE is pushing to all the vendors.

Water tastes salty post installation. Water did not taste like that with previous factory installed filter. My tap water does not taste salty unfiltered. Probably would not buy again. Would purchase filter next time from an authorized GE dealer.

**UPDATE - Seller contacted me after this review and offered to send me a replacement filter, free of charge and free shipping. It arrived VERY quickly (within 3 days of the email). New filter works great, so the 1st filter problem must have just been a fluke. I would order from this seller again. Good product and great customer service.

I live in the Tucson, AZ area and our water is very hard. I test my water regularly out of the tap and it shows 240. I test the water out of my R/O system and it tests at 22. The water coming out of my ref with the GE filter which comes from the R/0 system is 20. I have the cleanest water in our neighborhood. The only issue I had was the GE filter took a couple of months to get back to "normal" testing range. When I fist installed it, the water tested at 40. Now that it's back to "normal" I'm pleased. Also the install was easy - reading the simple directions took longer that the install. You just twist off the old one and twist on the new one and then run about 5 gallons through the system.

GE, why are you doing this to us?!
Yes, your filter is great and the water coming out of it tastes great.
Yes, the fridge that is attached to this filter is awesome too.
But why is this filter still so expensive if we need to exchange it every few months?

After reading reviews that people posted regarding low water pressure after installation i was slightly leary. I have had no problems water pressure great, tastes great. People posting problems with water pressure probably do not have appropriate pressure to the appliance and or appliance has other issues. The filters are made by GE for GE.

This water filter does a good job and is cheaper through Amazon than at most stores (if the store even has it in stock!). How can you not order it since it is shipped free?

Good price. Came quickly. Twisted right in and produced sparkling pure H2O. Now I can finally reset the red light to go back to green.

The G E Appliance Part, MSWFDS GE Replacement Water Filter, that we ordered was better service than the local big box facility. We knew the product we wanted and the service via ordering through Amazon.com was excellent. We received it in record time and our worries were over!! Outstanding "Customer Service", as usual.

Best price when purchased 3 to the pack. The water filter does it's job. The filter is better than the whole GE Profile Refrigerator, but that's another review.

Found the price is reasonable. Once ordered it arrived in good condition and original packing but not sealed :)
Other than unsealed original packing I did not find any thing wrong with this product. The seller is also reliable.
