Buy if it is on sale and manage expectations

We waited 10 years to do a kitchen renno, and I HAD to have all the bells and whistles. We bought all the cafe brand appliances - for me, they are just sooo beautiful and I loved the look. While I like the fridge, I don't love it, and it's probably my least favorite Cafe brand appliance. The shelves inside are very limiting. My old fridge had plenty of shelf room for condiments, deli, meats, fruit, veg, and other items. With the Cafe fridge, I find that I am lacking the storage drawers I want,...

Still waiting on delivery

So disappointed in this order. Was supposed to be delivered last Saturday…waited all day…. They called truck broke down 2 miles from our house. Wanted to know if we wanted to “come pick it up”!? Rescheduled for Monday….waited again all day. Saw where they rescheduled it for Saturday. Called store, said they tried to call us. We checked both phones, no call was placed to us. Said there was nothing they could do about it.

Do not go for this Fridge

Unfortunately this is my second review on the fridge, my first delivered fridge had uneven doors and was told it was supposed to be like that then the delivers guy some how scratched the front door so deep silver was shining through the length of the door, so I get a replacement the unleveled doors are just a manufacturing problem per the Lowe’s delivery guy because the replacement fridge doors are not level as well, okay googled how to fix it and there others out there with the same problem so ...

Stay Away, Compressor Failure, Terrible Customer S

Only 3.5 years old and a total compressor failure which is supposed to be covered under a 5 year warranty. However getting that warranty honored will require you to quick your job and work full time doing the run around with GE customer service. It's an essential appliance and they act as if it's an ice maker. We equipped our entire new house either GE/cafe and all but the drier have had at least on service visit, and now this Refrigerator. Try to find something else. The appearance is what drew...

Disappointed

Like another reviewer stated below for 5,000 bucks you’d think this fridge would be white all the way around lol yes I should have realized this while online shopping however I was focused on the front and the black back is so ugly ugggg so for those who don’t do research like me beware the fridge is white and pretty in the front with a black box back which is my fault, so I have it delivered so it will be in perfect condition welllllllllllll that didn’t happen first thing I notice one door high...

So far so good!

Beautiful refrigerator..love the sexy looking and lighting of the interior top! Lots of room too, fits so much more than my previous refrigerator. Lots of extra storage in the middle drawer too. Only fault I found so far is that, in the bottom freezer door, when you open it, the middle and upper drawer usually come out with it too.

Problems after two months with product and service

The freezer and beverage drawer have stopped maintaining temperature and everything is melting. Bodewell, the GE service provider, has outsourced to a company for this area. They haven't returned our service call after two days, so not only is GE's product useless so is their service. If you buy this fridge makes sure you buy a second one that is not GE so you have one that works when this one fails.

Beautiful Fridge

We absolutely love our Café refrigerator. The size is perfect for our family, with plenty of storage space and a thoughtful layout that makes it easy to stay organized. The middle convertible drawer is especially useful, and the LED lighting gives the interior a premium look and makes everything easy to find. My only wish is that there was an option for a second ice maker. The freezer ice maker works well, but having additional ice production for entertaining or larger gatherings would make thi...

Dystopian water filter system

GE uses RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) digital rights management on their water filter to force you to buy their $55 replacement. Their fridge still doesn’t recognize it. Every single time I replace the filter, the touchscreen throws a “Replace Water Filter” error. There is no manual reset. Last time this happened I had to schedule a service call and wait 30 days. A full month without water or ice from a $4,000 refrigerator — because the fridge couldn’t read its own filter. One of the sug...
