GE XWFE Refrigerator Water Filter, Genuine Replacement Filter, Certified to Reduce Lead, Sulfur, and 50+ Other Impurities, Replace Every 6 Months for Best Results, Pack of 1

Longevity, is as stated, every 6 months, but have been able to use them longer.Value, a bit pricey, but with the quality of the filter the taste is worth it.Installs easy, and quickly even if you forget how to install it. No leaks and the water pressure stays consistent.Have used comparable, other well rated filters. Researching different filters for impurity filtration, longevity and cost. And the quality is really good, but you can taste the difference with GE Filters.Ended up getting really sick, and ended up very sensitive to taste. Tried replacing our water filter with a new comparable one, filtered water from other sources and a variety of different bottled water. Their taste varied from yuck to ok. For health reasons, it was important in our household to drink plain water. We also and we live in an area where there are water issues and filtration is important.Tried everything we could think of as GE filters are pricey. However, once the filter was replaced with these filters, the water went back to tasting great!When using comparable filter you loose access to that chip that tells you when to automatically replace the filter. Which is pretty apparent with any filter as they all become clogged with their use and you loose water pressure when they need to be replaced.Different places have different impurities and everyone has a different pallet. For our household, this is a quality product.

Purchased this water filer to replace an expired on in GE refrigerator. The water filer was an exact match and fit to the original it was replacing. The water clarity and functionality has bee seamless to date. Assuming it will have a similar longevity compared to the original, based upon normal use etc. This was competitively priced and much cheaper than other options that I had researched. Received the item the next day after order, which was great timing.Would highly recommend and would definitely purchase again.

So I’m writing this review mainly as feedback on how my call into GE Customer Service went. My filter started slowing significantly after about 30 days of us. I called the customer service number linked to my order and talked to the Bodewell (they purchased GE I think).Anyway, the service was phenomenal. Rep was super nice and bottom line is she quickly sent out the replacement with no hassle. She had my address information and everything right in the system.You guys get 5-star for treating a customer right!

Easy buy, easy installation. Worth the money, since i have to replace mine every 6 months. Water pressure is great until that 4-5 month, no smell to water but please run a cup or two before drinking it. No leakage.

This filter worked in my GE refrigerator, so the filter must contain the "official GE" RFID chip. Removal of the old filter required a 90 degree turn, that required a pair of pliars. The installation of the new filter was made easier by putting a very light coating of vaseline on the two external raised lugs.I have purchased a similar looking filter elsewhere online, at half the price, that doesn't have the chip, and it doesn't work. It fits in the designated spot in the refrigerator, but the refrigerator "brain" refuses to recognize a filter is intstalled, and won't dispense water. GE is making people pay twice as much for their filter with the chip.Its getting 4 stars because of the higher price I had to pay.

Works great! I recommend using OEM GE, I tried a different brand and the water started tasting odd after only 1 month. The GE ones last much longer. Easy to install and remove. Worth the extra cost.

Better than the ones ordered directly from the distributor. I ordered 2 at almost half the cost directly from the company that makes them. My wAter/ice maker wouldn't work. Bought these cheaper than local big box stores & they worked as expected.

I purchased this filter, the exact filter that came with the appliance. When installed, it did not resolve the replacement error message. Upon talking to GE customer service, she informed me that often times if the filter does not come from their authorized distributors, there is no guarantee it will work or communicate with the appliance. Since this was my first replacement, she sent a new filter along with a "bypass plug" complimentary. I refunded this filter. I received their filter and got the same results. Installed the bypass plug, same result. She said that if I didn't get water with the bypass plug, then the problem lies with the appliance. Service tech is scheduled for next week. This leaves me to believe there was absolutely nothing wrong with this filter.
