Ratings & Reviews for Cafe 24.5-cu ft Counter-Depth 42-in Wide Side-by-Side Refrigerator Built-In Smart Compatible with Ice Maker ,Water and Ice Dispenser ( Stainless Steel with Brushed Stainless Handles )

Solid Upgrade

I’ve owned the fridge for about 3 weeks and it is a solid upgrade. PROS: It looks great and elevates the look of the kitchen to gourmet. The water/filter quality is top tier and the auto sense fill feature saves time when filling up a glass or a measuring cup. And of course it chills and freezes nicely with features that boost the capability for special circumstances such as installation or recovering from a power outage. CONS. It’s missing a few “normal folks” features that I’ve enjoyed over...

No Ice

After paying to install four replacement ice makers after the original one quit last June we still don’t have ice

It’s a very good refrigerator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is a good product. But for the price it could have a more compartments.

too expensive for what you get

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's not very deep, so there's not much room as a regular fridge. The doors are squeaking after 4 months, and I am not sure if the warranty will cover this. Also had two plastic pieces come off the interior of the fridge.

Fully what we expected and hoped for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 48-inch refrigerator appears to be operating exactly as expected, perfectly. This fridge has been in place for just a couple of weeks and we do expect to have many years of use from it. This is no small investment in either purchase or installation, this size appliance is the flagship of the company and is a significant thing to deliver and install, and as a built-in item, the exact dimensions of the exact location must be precise.

Brand New Refrigerator is too warm

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brand new refrigerator that came with our home is too warm to keep food from spoiling (maintains around 50 F). We have been waiting for the repair team to fix the issue but it has been 3 months so far without a resolution.

Looks Fantastic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The guys showed up on time and installed it within an hour. They do come out in advance and measure the opening and make sure the power is in the right spot. I had to move my power up to the top of the fridge. Easy fix. They did want the dimensions a little smaller than the cabinets allowed for but when they installed it, the 48'' opening was perfect. The inside is well lit and spacious. Even the freezer side has more space than my old fr...

Breakdown

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have only had it a little over a month when it quit working

Great features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our refrigerator! It’s spacious and looks beautiful in our new kitchen. The Cafe model is perfect for us.

Great Features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Refrigerator is great. Installation crew was awesome and took great care removing the old unit and installing the new unit

Sleek and Elegant

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only is this refrigerator sleek and elegant looking it is big and holds a lot. Even large trays of food fit easily on the shelves.

Beautiful and functional

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the auto fill water option! I wold rate a 5 star if the ice maker didn’t spill over into the freezer area at times.

Overall great refrigerator!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful refrigerator with ample storage and extremely quiet when running. Very well lit with LEDs at every level. Very happy overall with this unit and I would definitely buy again. This unit weighs around 800lbs so plan on having the delivery people install it for you. We attempted to move this unit with 4 big burly guys and had zero success. Leave this one to the pros!

broke after 3 years

Within just five years of ownership, my GE refrigerator has developed a series of critical problems that have profoundly impacted its functionality and my household's peace of mind. These issues include: Persistent Fan Rattling: A noticeable and increasingly loud rattling noise emanating from an internal fan has been a constant source of annoyance. This suggests a mechanical defect that has worsened over time. Inadequate Cooling Performance: More critically, the refrigerator has intermittently...

DO NOT BUY

poorly made appliance. fridge is 5 years old and the ice maker failed, the heater pan has been replaced twice and the cooling fan. would not recommend this appliance to anyone. save money and buy something more reputable.

Waste of money

Put this in at the end of 2022, has already stopped working and destroyed all our food twice. My kids have been complaining of stomach aches and it literally makes me sick (pun very much intended) that it’s probably because of rotten food because the fridge barely works, it makes you think it’s working because the middle shelf is the only area where food stays cold.

Door shelves a total let down

The door shelves are almost useless. Very very difficult to get smaller items (like the butter) out of the door shelves

Better than expected

Just had the refridgerator installed and it’s beautiful! It has a slight commercial look to it, which is what I wanted!

This is premium? No, it is not.

Parts rattle, water dispenser doesn’t work, no room. No idea how GE could ask this price for this unit.
