I can't actually speak to effectiveness or longevity yet, but it appears to be a legitimate OEM part. My issue is that I put it into my fridge that just decided that it wanted to spring a leak somewhere near the water cooler whenever you request water, and I suspect it does the same thing when it makes new ice. So... until I get that fixed (and maybe figure out why the water/ice dispenser in the door appears to be slowly leaking - I had originally suspected partially discharged ice cubes slowly leaking inside the door, but that might not be accurate) I won't be able to even run this for the few minutes that it asks you to before using the filter... I trust that it will be fine, though.

I bought this filter thinking this would be an excellent deal but the water tasted terrible. I dumped out gallons and gallons of water and it came out black tinted and tasted almost like plastic. The water filter itself is dated from 2013. I didn't want my pregnant wife to drink this water so I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a new one. The new one had different packaging and a recent date. With the new one the water tasted as it should- like all my GE filters always have tasted. This must have either been a used/recycled filter or a dud. I guess you get what you pay for.

The instructions are confusing and may not apply to every GE model. The instructions for installation said to remove the old filter by turning it to the left but we had to turn it to the right to remove it. Then, to install the new filter, we had to turn it in the opposite direction of the instructions. The instructions also said to line up the arrow on the filter with the arrow on the cartridge holder. Our model's cartridge did not have any arrows. We figured it out by having the filter's arrow go in the front.

Genuine GE product for a better price than the local stores. Works very well and lasts a long time. My appliance repair person told me that the off-brand filters have a tendency to cause damage and the need for repairs in the refrigerators they are used in, and that has been my experience. Therefore, I buy the genuine manufacturer's filter (in this case GE) but they are very expensive to purchase. I'm glad to find them at least somewhat better priced online.

Bought these at a discounted price, so I was slightly skeptical that they might not be the actual GE filters. They were exactly as advertised ... the ones that matched my refrigerator. Been using the first one for a month or more with excellent results. The only issue was that I had to run some water, no more than a half gallon, through the filter to get rid of an odd taste when it was first installed. I seem to remember that was the case with a filter that I bought a few years ago, as well. Other users of GE filters have mentioned that, too, so I don't think that's a big negative.
