Description of Waterfall Filter: Premium GE MWF Compatible Refrigerator Water Filter

Very easy to install with clear instructions. Costs less than GE without compromising quality or flow rate. Replaces GE MWF, GWF, GWFA, GWF01, GWF06, MWFA. Tastes great by leaving potentially healthy, beneficial minerals while removing chlorine, other chemicals and contaminants. The quality of the filter is the same as the branded filter but costs less.

Perfect replacement, especially for the price!

Works great! When we looked at the price of the "official" filter for our fridge, we were shocked at how expensive it was. We chose this "compatible" fridge and were very happy with the quality. The water from our fridge door was very slow so we bought it to replace the filter (it was my grandfather's fridge and we had no idea when the filter was last changed). After replacing the filter with this, the water pressure issue was resolved and it took us less than 20 minutes to fill our glasses…

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Not reliable

Good filter good fit

I bought several of these and 4/5 fit perfectly and snug don't force it to latch. I had one that didn't quite fit and wouldn't snap if you want, it shouldn't be hard to turn up and to the right - when you do the final twist to snap firmly into the filter a bit of water will flow in, that makes noise. The last one I bought didn't fully lock in, thought I was going crazy, but I put my old one back in and it fit fine. I wrote to the seller and he took care of me very quickly, got a replacement and

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Minor issues

Don't skimp on drinking water.

I don't know why 5 stars. Either these people are getting paid to give it 5 stars, or they're reviewing it too quickly, or they don't know what quality water tastes like. It tastes good when you first install it, but after a week or two it starts to taste like "ink pen". I threw it away, went to the home store, bought the original filter for $50, and now over 6 months later the water still tastes great, no smell, no ink taste. People stop being cheap, you drink this water, you put it in your…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some difficulties

after five years of spending $45 on a GE OEM filter I decided to try this much cheaper filter and i wish i had one. I didn't notice any problems/strange noises during the installation, so I thought everything was fine. When I checked the water dispenser on the front of the fridge, all I got was a small trickle of water. I reinstalled the old GE filter and it didn't improve the situation. I read several other one star reviews and found a very similar issue where part of the filter assembly was…

Pros
  • easy to use
Cons
  • concise manual

For years without our drinking water/ice dispenser.

We spent years avoiding the drinking water and ice dispenser in our fridge after the filter it came with stopped working. I postponed the exchange because it was very difficult to find information about the manufacturer. . Then, assuming I never found a manufacturer's "parts" store within reach, we just removed the old filter, capped it, and stopped using it. I didn't know Revain then. After I started using Revain I stumbled across replacement fridge filters! I entered our model number and…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other models

Works as well as the original at half the price

This GE MWF SmartWater filter performs just as well as our original water filter. I'm so glad my husband stumbled across this because this filter is half the price of the one we're replacing. We use a lot of filtered water, so we change the filter about every 4 months instead of every 6, and at $55 apiece it's getting pretty pricey. Our fridge is also about 22 years old, so we would like the filter to be changed a little more often. With all the new technology, the filters installed in…

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other filters

Poor fit and ANSI/NSF standard compared to OEM GE filter

Bought this filter after reading rave reviews. The reviews highlighted two negatives that I wanted to see and test for myself: the fact that this filter is only NSF/ANSI 42 certified (removing just the taste and odor of chlorine) and not Standard 53; cysts, other contaminants) and the fact that when installed it made loud noises and slowed down the flow. So I decided to go ahead and spend $25 knowing that if they turned out to be true I wouldn't buy again and would go back to a more expensive…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
