Ratings & Reviews for Cafe 29.5-cu ft Counter-Depth 48-in Wide Side-by-Side Refrigerator Built-In Smart Compatible with Ice Maker Stainless Steel with Brushed Stainless Handles )

Worth the Wait

Although I had to wait a number of months before receiving the refrigerator/freezer I had ordered, I have been very happy with it because it is a beautiful addition to my kitchen and has all the features I could hope to have.

Very Pleased

This refrigerator replaced a 30-year-old Sub Zero. The Cafe is a great value and every bit as stylish and user friendly as models with much higher price tags. I'd recommend it highly, we are very pleased.

On our second one.

First one came with the purchase of our new house. Fresh side kept freezing up, despite several visits from GE service. After replacing dampers and other components we were told it must be the main computer board which at the time had a 10 - 16 week lead-time. After several phone calls, GE replaced the refrigerator. Ice maker performance is very poor.

Workhorse, but basic

This is a good but basic appliance -Just a lot of cold storage. Ice maker makes a lot of ice, but the gap at the back means I am constantly dropping ice into the freezer. Plus, it is mounted pretty high up so if you are short, it will be hard to use. Motor is louder than my old Sub-Zero, but for the price difference, I Elul do expect that.

Nice looking fridge but the ice maker is bad

We have had a similar fridge by other brands and the ice make was great with a drawer. This fridge’s ice maker is made for a door dispenser and when you do not get the door dispenser you get the same ice maker that is not easily accessible. The tray is small and the flip up lid is not meant for easy access. The front even says ice service which shows it’s clearly not meant for this application.

Love it!

We love all the storage in our new GE Cafe! The freezer section is bigger than our last 48" and also more storage in the fridge area.

Solid Product

So far so good! The lay out of this unit is very straight forward but gets the job done.

Great product.

The interior of the 48” cafe seems much larger than my old 48” Monogram. The interior lighting is nice and bright. The stainless steel exterior is sleek and seems to brighten up my kitchen.

NO SIRVE LA PEOR COMPRA QUE HE HECHO EN MI VIDA

Compre esta nevera alrededor de 10K y nunca funciono apropiadamente comenzó a dar problemas desde el comienzo llevo 1 año con ella y se ha dañado mas de 10 veces en 1 año. Increible!! Los tecnicos no encuentran la falla le ponen dif piezas y en par de semanas vuelve a dañarse. Lo ultimo q me dijeron fue que la nevera tenia un defecto q le entraba aire pero ellos no consiguen por donde entra el aire y al entrar el aire el abanico deja de funcionar. No la recomiendo no boten su dinero!!!.

Beautiful

It’s beautiful and so far we love it. We’ve only had it 1 month

It’s new so far so good

It’s new so so far so good. It’s doing it’s job. I love it so far

Show stopper!

Counter depth wall of stainless steel that holds everything I need to feed my hungry boys and host a Christmas gathering. We chose no ice maker/water access on door for clean look, only wish model was available with an internal water dispenser. Otherwise this beauty has everything I wanted at reasonable price (among 48" products).

Outside looks great!

Maybe there are attachments that I don't know about but the ice inside is a lot of work. We cannot reach the door opening to get it out so we must take out the ice box and dump the ice into coffee cans.

Met expectations

So far the refrigerator was just what we needed since our old one was taken out by a storm. We ordered the new one and it arrived ahead of schedule. We were concern since so many people have horror stories about getting and having their new units work. Luckily ours is working so far since it has only been a few weeks.

Great refrigerator/freezer

I love the looks of it. Love how it lights up and food is easy to find. The freezer works great....keeps food frozen. Great ice maker.

Great layout, good looks and stable temperature co

This refrigerator takes your kitchen up a level. Plenty of storage with stable temperatures.

Small interior

Bought this to replace 15 year old Frigidaire which needed replacing. Had specific dimensions to fit built in cabinet. Because of availability issues due to COVID, this was the first fridge we could get so we bought it. This only holds about half as much food as my old unit. Interior depth is extremely short comparatively, even though exterior dimensions are the same. And forget about the produce storage, it’s practically non existent I really do wish I’d waited for something else.

worst

not worth it. Long time owner of Thermador and tried this to save money for 2nd house. Nope, its junk!

Lights out

Can not believe that within a month all the refrigerator lights are not working.

Non-ferrous and not-so-smart

Seems like an ok fridge for this class and was a great value compared to the higher-end brand it replaced. But. The stainless steel is non-ferrous (will not hold a magnet). I had no idea this was something I still needed to think about when shopping for a stainless fridge in 2021. If it weren't such an ordeal to get this thing ordered and installed, I would have sent it right back. And the smarts are lacking. Last night I heard a faint beeping sound. Eventually I tracked it to the fridge, ...
