GENERAL ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR

General Health

GE produces a wide range of refrigerators, many of which come with built-in water filters for both ice makers and water dispensers. Unfortunately, as with any water filtration system, a GE water filter needs to be changed on a regular basis.

Most GE fridges have an inbuilt GE water filter with a wide range of quality designs and prices. At the other end of the spectrum, some General Electric refrigerator models have expensive, high quality reverse osmosis GE water filters.

Quality

Consumer reviews of General Electric refrigerator and its GE water filter feature are overwhelmingly positive. GE refrigerator and GE water filters consistently score between 4.6 and 5.0 on a five star scale. People who own General Electric refrigerators with a GE water filter rave about the great tasting water and ice they produce, which they use for both drinking and cooking. Not one review could be found where General Electric refrigerator owners complained about running out of filtered water from their refrigerator dispensers.

Duration

The duration of a GE water filter is also better than most filters. This presumably has more to do with the refrigerator owner’s rate of purified water consumption rather than the quality of the GE water filters.

Installation

Most GE fridge owners report the installation of replacement GE water filters as being quick, easy, and effortless. The filters are easily accessible and can be changed with a quick twist. Some General Electric refrigerator owners, however, have reported being sprayed with cold water when attempting to change the water filters, although this defect appears to be limited to only a few General Electric refrigerator models.

Negatives

Owners of General Electric refrigerators do not have convenient, automatic filter change indicators bemoan its absence. The water flow appears to dwindle as the water filter becomes dirty, and some customers report it slowing to a trickle before the GE water filter is changed.
