GE Water Filter Pitcher GXPL03H Review
I’m starting to think that this decade will be known for two things: skyrocketing oil prices and filtered water! Seriously, everywhere I turn I see new ways to purify drinking water. Our latest product is a water filtering pitcher from GE. I think it’s a great idea and if you do the math (you get …
