Item changed

I've been using this model for several years and it works great. But I just recently ordered two additional filters and this time the filters are significantly larger - and don't fit. I have a pair left over from a previous purchase and when you compare them the difference in size is obvious. I am returning this recently purchased item. While I hope the bug gets fixed, I've lost confidence that I'll ever try to buy this model again.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • This makes me angry

New shape causes leaks

Used for years with no problems. However, on the new ones, they have slightly changed their shape. They're definitely wider, which shouldn't be a problem. Visually the length looks the same but I couldn't seal it properly with the new filter shape so it needs to be a bit longer or change the thickness of the shims on the ends. After repeated attempts, including lubricating the o-rings, I finally gave up and threw the whole block in the trash.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Unreliable

It was a great product and I have used it for 4 years.

system. This cartridge is a newer design than the ones I've used before. I contacted GE a couple of times as I couldn't install enough cartridge holders and kept leaking and they said it should work. I tried it without the cartridge and the venting went quite well. I bought a new o-ring with grease but no luck. I even tried installing it at Home Depot with a rep, same problem, and I didn't fit in enough to prevent a leak. I hope GE will sell the previous design because it just worked and I…

Pros
  • . Great for a small house.
Cons
  • . Negative gift.

The rest of the reviews were correct. It does not fit.

Why am I so stubborn and skeptical? I do not know. Somehow I was hoping that other reviewers were wrong about the wrong size. It seemed impossible to me that GE would resize any of their products while keeping the same part number. and yet they did just that. Didn't even add "A" or "B" or a warning to the customer. To return the loan (and the supplier) the return was very easy. I found the right size filter at Home Depot, but it's not as good as the older FXUTC models I got from GE and ordered…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Exchange availability

Great product, easiest I've ever installed!

This product is great I've been waiting for my husband to change the water filter for months and I thought I knew what screw to put under the sink to see what I could do so I did i checked it out, got the brand name and product number, i went to amazon, typed it in and bam that was the filter i needed, i ordered it and the price was insane! So, I get the filter every other day, and what I was 🥰, so I crawl under the sink. I think I'm good at this, at first I forgot to turn off the water and…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Weight

As previously reported here, this filter does not fit the GX1S01R. I've put many hours of my time into this, including calling GE Smart Water customer service - the name is an oxymoron as there's nothing clever about how GE redesigned this filter and made it 1/8 inch longer to accommodate it to make bigger did not close . in the GX1S01R system. GE is fully aware of this issue but has no plans to address the issue I really couldn't understand but was told so. They didn't offer me any solution at

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive

This product is great. I've been waiting for my husband to change the water filter for months and I figured I know what screw I'm going to put under the sink and to see what I can do so I checked it out and got the name of the Brand and the product number, I went to Amazon dialed it up and bam this was the filter I needed, I ordered it and the price was crazy great!

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

Filters great but reduces water use significantly, even when new. I used this filter to replace a coarse grit filter that was becoming very clogged and was surprised to find that my tap water usage actually *decreased*. Everyone needs to filter their drinking water, and this is one of the few effective and affordable ways to do it. But I would recommend installing TWO filter housings with these filters in parallel rather than in series if flow rate is important. I would also recommend…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model
