The GE brand has long been associated with quality home appliances but that doesn't necessarily mean all their products belong to the A-list. Consumers, though, have somewhat high expectations from the GE product line, banking on solid reputation and impressive performance.
Getting to the GE water filter systems, the company flaunts a strong line-up of units beginning with drinking water filtration featuring reverse osmosis, dual and single stage carbon filtration, kitchen, bath and shower filtration, faucet mount, water pitcher and finally, refrigerator and ice maker filtration. Some of the advantages of getting a GE water filter emphasized on the GE website include better quality of life, convenience in easy twist and lock design filter replacement, protection from water contaminants, and savings.
One model in the spotlight is the GE GX1550F Smartwater Filtration System which has been the subject of many reviews. First, it is not as easy to install as claimed. Second, the manual explicitly instructs that the O-rings or nozzles be lubricated with food-grade silicone grease before attaching the filter and apparently, only GE has this type of oil. For a small tube plus shipping, it will cost you a bit more. Consumers find this very discouraging and have recommended that GE should have included the 'grease' in the package. Third, the filters don't last for very long. Finally, some plastic parts easily break.
It looks like GE hasn't perfected the water filters just yet. In the meantime, stick your options to other water filters who have already aced the tests. There are so many brands of water filtration systems so GE should not be among your top choices. But then again an innovative company like GE is bound to cover for all the pitfalls and come up with a much improved and honed version of the ideal home water filtration system.
