Ratings & Reviews for Cafe Counter-Depth Hot Water Dispenser 22.2-cu ft 3 -Door 36-in Wide with Ice Maker ( Stainless Steel with Brushed Stainless Handles ) ENERGY STAR Certified

Problem with ice machine area of our Cafe

Very difficult to open the ice compartment and ice continues to clump ice in big balls

GE’s TOP brand????

This is absolutely positively the worst client I have ever owned. It cost a lot of money so we expected it to be top quality we were wrong. Thankfully, we had the warranty on it which covered the first 10 repairs. It is now out of warranty and we are facing a bill for another repair. I am confident at the repair rate if we do not have the warranty we probably would’ve close to exceeded the original cost of the refrigerator and repair repairs.

Love the Space

I had a same size refrigerator and replaced with the Cafe. This seems bigger because of the configuration, especially the freezer.

Water dispenser

The water dispenser just dribbles out. It is basically useless.

Beautiful!

We love our new cafe refrigerator. Not only is it beautiful, but the ice maker on the door leaves plenty of room for all our provisions. The hot water feature is a bonus.

Terrible quality, doors hard to close

Terrible product. Poor quality and many annoyances, the worst being that the doors are difficult to close. Normally you just gently push a refrigerator door and it auto closes, but this fridge requires a ton of force to close the doors. It is annoying beyond belief.

Features average when considering the price tag

Love the placement of the water filter. Not impressed with the hot water dispenser - everyone has a microwave - why wait for the water to heat within a refrigerator? What would be helpful is an option to turn up the water dispenser temperature to room temperature - sometimes I do not water cold water. Ice dispenser operation and size just right IMO. Shelf placement options are limited - Whirlpool has better. Didn't try connectivity yet - don't see the point of complicating my life even further ...

Wi-Fi

Very nice wi-fi connection to my smart phone. Quick cool down from installation date.

Miss the Keurig

Great product, miss the Keureg feature from previous version

It’s ok.

It’s ok. The doors don’t close very easily. They get stuck open as I am closing them and so I have to go back and literally push them closed. Very inconvenient. The Cafe we had before this one also had the drawer in the fridge light up different colors for meat or veggies. That was cool. I miss that. The freezer drawer is also difficult to store things in with the slant of the it in the front.

Blue plastic nightmare.

Overall, The refrigerator and freezer perform well. I don’t use the connectivity feature, but it’s nice to have. When we received our new refrigerator, we had to carefully remove the blue plastic covering all metallic surfaces. It was impossible to remove all of the blue plastic as it was stuck in all of the metal joint surfaces. It took me 8 hours to meticulously pull out the blue plastic from these joints. I had to actually use toothpicks and dental floss picks and thin needles with a hammer t...

Avoid GE appliances

We have had our cafe refrigerator for three years. The filters come on an auto ship for replacement. Our last set had two faulty filters which is about $100 in filters. When I called to say they were faulty GE told me they were out of warranty even though they send a 3 pack that is replaced every 6 months. When I said that is ridiculous they told me well you don’t have to buy 3 at a time. Horrible customer service and as soon as this refrigerator breaks we will be switching brands.

Great fridge. Useful tech. Runs quietly.

I really enjoy the hot water feature; no need for a tea kettle anymore. It could be slightly wider, as there’s a bit too much gap on either side. I prefer it to be wider and shallower. Overall, I like the design, and the interior layout is well done. Excellent filtration. Runs quietly.

Cafe Experience

Refrigerator is an excellent product-first experience with the Cafe equipment

Life spawned right now can not u this refrigerator

Purchased this refrigerator 6 years ago - the inside light starting malfunctioning. Then the temp starting rising . Terrible customer service from the cafe company . A refrigerator like this should last a lot longer !

Great Features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the refrigerator! It is large, pretty, everything we were hoping!

Great for 3-4 years

I loved this refrigerator when we first got it , but once the perks started breaking, it wasn't worth the price. The buttons have all broken off and we have had to replace the screen. Now it appears like where the drink dispenser was it corroded the refrigerator. Not worth the cost.

Good features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, this refrigerator works very well for us. I was a bit surprised with the ice container that seemed a bit small compared to the one I had in another fridge. However, there is much more room available without a larger box. The chrome handles are much easier to keep clean and handle.

Great feature love the hot water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little counter top refrigerator. Love the hot water function and the cool white colors to match kitchen. Bonus is the white color doesn’t show fingerprints.
