Strengths: Absorbs odors, exact fit for GE Microhoods that use it, well-built, easy to replace the inner carbon filter in the future to save some money.
Weaknesses: None so far.
Summary: This filter is optional, but, in my opinion, absolutely necessary if you are recirculating the output of your microhood into your kitchen. Why? Because the filters the microhood comes with only filter grease, but all the odors, vapors, smoke, etc. of what you're preparing DO NOT get filtered and just recirculate in your kitchen. Pop-in one of these filters, and because of the activated-carbon inside, they do a great job of filtering some of those odors before sending the recirculated air back in your kitchen. A great tip to save some money down the road, since these should be replaced every 6-12 months, is to simply replace the carbon filter on the inside. The metal frame has a latch that can be opened on one side. You can then slide out the inside material, remove the top and bottom paper mesh and discard the used carbon filter. You can find packages or rolls of this activated-carbon material at your local hardware store or even on-line (I checked eBay and they had it). Simply cut to size if needed, replace the paper mesh on each side, and slide back into the metal frame. You now have a brand new filter for a fraction of the cost of a new one from GE.
