You can then use the bypass plug to use your unfiltered cold fridge water or you can cut the RFID tag out of the bypass plug and tape it in the water slot. After you tape it in, you can purchase third party water filters for much cheaper (I use the Waterdrop brand). The fridge will think the bypass plug is being used, although the water will actually be filtered through the third party filter.
One tip about cutting the RFID tag out, use a Dremel or multi tool to cut the hard plastic. If you try peeling the sticker, the RFID tag will break. GE engineered the RFID tags to tear on the bypass plug and water filters if you try to remove them.
After you install the third party water filter, the fridge won't give you a reminder to change the filter, because it doesn't think a filter is being used. So leave yourself a note to change it every ~6 months.
… or install and inline filter and use the bypass plug…

But of course, As with all fridges no matter the price, is it going to last over 8+ years, ideally 12 years or more?
only time will tell.
The inner water dispenses it, giving out more space for other stuff. I love the design.
The only complaint is that the ice maker switch is too deep and a little bit hard to reach. But if you use ice very often, you may not have any problem.

My problems with this model? The alarm that is used to tell you your doors are open broke around year 4, and lately it's not cooling as well as before. Sometimes pulling the plug for a few minutes will reset the thermometer, but we shouldn't need to do this.
