Would RecommendThe refrigerator is beautiful! Love the function of both the refrigorator and freezer. Hot water option is great! Only complaint is that the ice machine can be loud at times (when the ice drops).

Fridge was DOA, check the 30 day warranty!
Would Not RecommendI purchased this fridge along with the extended protection plan, but I made the mistake of ordering it early while my kitchen was being renovated. When finally plugging it in, the cooling system wasn't working so I had to get a GE technician to check it out. He said it had to be replaced and wasn't repairable, but unfortunately because it was sitting in my living room for weeks it's past the 30 day warranty to replace it. After some unpleasant calls with the GE warranty service, plus Lowe's exte...

Pleasant Surprise
I had read so many different reviews of this model refrigerator and many were negative. However, I put aside my apprehension as we needed a large-capacity freezer and spacious refrigerator interior. Reviews warned it was "noisy," but I find it no louder than my quiet previous refrigerator. It is, in short, just what we had hoped for. Thank you, GE.

Does not cool down enough, Temp off by +5° #2
Would Not RecommendI have done more testing on the refrigerator cooling cycle. The new Café refrigerator I have purchased has a cooling problem. I have compared it to my previous refrigerator made in 2001. I set the Café at 34° but it will always heat up to near or above 40° (See Graph) It appears that the temperature differential (the difference between when the unit stops cooling and then re-starts) is 8°. My 2001 differential is 3°. (See Graph) It is clear by looking at the graphs that the 2001 refrigerator con...

Not impressed
I had a GE Profile fridge with same cubic feet. It was much more usable with side trays easily accommodating gallon sized containers to smaller jars. Also one tray not fitting at all. Hoping to be able to adjust drawers as they have gap that just causes mess/uses space. So far not impressed.

Nice refrigerator
Love the refrigerator but our first one needed to be replaced after 3 years. Hoping it was a covid fluke and will not happen again.

Love it
Love the capacity of the fridge. My only thing I wish was different was that I expected the water to be hot instantly. But I think that was my mistake and reading it incorrectly. Now I’m ok With waiting for the water to boil but I wish more than 10oz would be available. As sometime I want to make multiple cups.

Does not cool down enough, thermistors off by +5°
Would Not RecommendI used a calibrated meter to check the temperature of the unit because the cheap thermometers I had were telling me it was not getting cold enough, even though the actual temperature shown on the unit control showed it was. I like my refrigerator to always stay below 38° because it makes all my smoothies last over a week. My meter shows that the unit is consistently 5° higher than what the actual temperature says on the control screen. The first pic was taken after the unit stopped cooling, the ...

New Cafe French Door
I love my new fridge. I replaced an almost 11 year old Cafe French Door Refrigerator that died with this. I like the newer configuration of shelves on the doors. My only complaint is that the plastic film that was covering the stainless steel on the doors is almost impossible to get out. There are small bits of plastic visible in the seams and I don't want to scratch the doors getting out these small pieces.

Precise Fill Takes it Over The Top
We love the precise measurement feature of the water dispenser. The fridge is laid out well and enough space for all of our food.

Big Pros and Big cons
Would Not RecommendPros: Great ice maker. All in door! Probably best in industry. Very pretty outside and in. Good lighting. Quiet. Terrible organization in doors, both top and bottom interior. But worst part is the doors are as harder to close than a commercial walk in cooler. It's 2024 and gravity close should be standard. These doors take substantial effort. I have to get alarmed and walk back to re-close 50% of the time. Thank god for the loud door alarm. WiFi is good because I guess I need to be...
