GLACIER FRESH XWF Replacement for GE XWF Refrigerator Water Filter 2 Pack

First of all, my Thanks to the Amazon and Youtube community for posting details on how to peel off the cover on the $50 XWFE filter and wrap it around this $10 Glacier filter so that my GE Frig's water system will dispense water. I was so angry last year when I realized that I would have to pay $50 for an obscenely expensive GE XWFE filter because the $10 Glacier filter did not work because it did not have a chip embedded into the "peel off" cover. The $10 Glacier filter is just as effective as the $50 GE XWFE filter!!!

Easy to change out and really works. The replaced filter felt 3-4 times the weight of the new.

Excellent product for the lowest price.

So far so good, very easy to install, I paid attention to the original filter I took out, and installed it in less then 30 seconds. The filter reset light is still on but I will wait and see if it goes away in a day or two. Update November 3, 2019: Filter reset button doesn’t go away, big bummer for me but I did put a sticker on my other filter with October on it so I know to replace it after 6 months. Ran around 3 gallons out so not sure of water taste yet. Will let u know later same as reset button. Update November 3, 2019: The water doesn’t taste as good as the original filter, that one takes out more impurities and other things, but it’s not bad, 6 out of 10 for me and I drink only water. As for the box no label covering the NSF testing as pics show. It doesn’t filter out as much crap as the original but for the price I’m not going to complain until there is a problem. Final verdict: it’s okay, still 2 for less then half price of the original. But I think I will switch back to the original after I use the next filter. I prefer my water to be crisp and not have an aftertaste. So I’ve revised my 5 stars to 3. The taste and filte4 reset button bugs me. May 15, 2020 Finally replaced the water filter, I should’ve stated that the water filter light did finally turn off and I can’t remember when it was. It’s okay the water does comes out faster and it still tastes okay. So I’m going to 4 stars.

Easy to install and they work great.

Great product. Arrived in tact.

**I need to add this, I see now in the additional info under the description of these there is the statement "These are not a replacement for the GE XWFE cartridges", that was not there when I bought these in September and these were a suggested alternative. Based on several other 1* reviews, it seems I wasn't the only one to make this mistake as they were supposed to be a suitable alternative for the XWFE. I see they are now specifically excluded, which is due to others finding this out and returning them** We bought a new GE refrigerator last year and replaced our 22+ year old one (which was still working fine). Reading through instructions, I found the directions to replace the water filter every 6 months or so. I immediately searched for the specific filters (XWFE) and found it here, along with these Glacier Fresh filters. They were much cheaper (3 for 30, vs. 1 for 50) so I bought a GE filter and the three pack to compare. Last night out filter light came on and pulled one of the new Glacier Fresh filters and attempted to replace the existing one. They DO NOT FIT. When comparing the sizes, they are very close, the connections are different. The GE filter (on the right in the photo) compared to the Glacier are not compatible. I was able to seat it into the filter connection, but because of the lack of proper holes in the Glacier Fresh filter, the fridge would not recognize it and it would not reset the filter. This locked up my water button, I double checked it was seated (as best as it could be) and then removed it. I put in the new GE filter (XWFE) and it seated perfectly, and reset the filter mechanism. Because I bought these 5 months ago, I cannot return them and they were a complete waste of money. I will purchase ONLY the GE XWFE filters and ensure I have a couple stored for when the new one reaches its end. While I was careful comparing these, I found the statement "These are a direct replacement for XWFE filters", they are not. Just make sure you double check before you invest and open the package to see if a new off-brand filter is really a direct replacement option. Also, you should also read your owner's manual carefully, many models are eligible to receive a bypass plug, free from GE. I also found this out when reordering new filters direct from GE and seeing the bypass plug, (which allows you to use the water/ice maker without any filter) and it's listed for 27.00, but the comments/reviews mention numerous times this is a free product (per the owner's manual). I double checked and sure enough it is for mine as well. I called and requested it, (having registered the warranty when we bought it) and they said "no problem, it's on the way". Why it isn't included with the fridge is simple, so we'll spend the money on filters and hope you don't notice the bypass option.

This items are good

We decided to try a no name fridge filter filter and it was easy to install and the water tastes great.

works just like the OEM product but at a fraction of the cost.
