    Nice size refrigerator!
    I have the stainless steel fridge and it is beautiful! It is the perfect size, has 3 compartments, and the freezer is roomy. I would definitely pick this model again. If you're on the fence, grab this one!

      Great refrigerator
      Very pleased with our refrigerator. We could only fit a certain size in the space we have, this one fit perfect. Like the glass shelves, has two drawers for vegetables and fruit, has a small meat and cheese drawer, the shelves on the door fit lots, and plenty enough room on the glass shelves. Great refrigerator. The only thing I wish it had is a duel temp adjuster, one for refrigerator and one for the freezer, but that’s just a minor thing.

                Not very cold
                I had the fridge set at 4, i put my thermometer in and the top shelf area is cold, the bottom shelf is in the spoilage zone. I just turned it up to 5, which is all the way. So far I'm not impressed.

                  Terrific fridge!
                  Surprise! She’s a lot of room inside, more than our previous fridge, plenty of room for everything. Great shelving. Very quiet-had to check to make sure she was on, our last was noisy. If you’ve small space requirements like we do, this is a good choice.

                    Does the job
                    Does the job. Needed a new refrigerator to replace the old similar model I had that was dying a slow death. This one is a little louder than the old one which kinda surprises me but all in all it does what is is supposed to do.

                      New Garage Refrigerator
                      We have had a GE Refrigerator in our home for 4 years now, it’s so quiet and not a problem with it at all! So we thought why not get a new one for our garage, It’s perfect!

                        White with a textured finish
                        Runs with great efficiency and relatively quiet operation. Plenty of shelving space for fridge and freezer. I preferred the optional texture paint that for me gives it a more of a home feel instead of a commercial style one. Although it's available in different options making it a wise choice for the value

                              Very nice and quiet Refrigerator!
                              The refrigerator is very quiet. The freezer works great and without the ice maker, it has plenty of room. I love the large produce drawers that I can remove when making a salad, and they are easy to reinsert, unlike some other refrigerators. I would give it 5 stars except for the butter holder. It doesn't keep the butter in the holder. Every time you close the refrigerator door, the sticks slide forward and open the butter door and fall out. We fixed that problem by using a rectangular Tupperware container to put the butter in and then put that in the butter holder. The glass shelves are easy to clean and move to different positions. We wanted an 18+ cf refrigerator but at 28" wide, this one fits the small space in our kitchen perfectly. My only suggestion would be to make it a little taller to be 18 to 18.5 cf.

                                Love the look and features. AND ENERGY SAVINGS.
                                Replaced our older Kenmore that was having thermostat and defroster issues. But even when it was working at 100 percent it was LOUD and ran a lot! This GE is super quiet and so far doesn't seem to cycle nearly as much as the Kenmore. We're glad we sprung for this color and finish, it looks really high end but has only the basic features we really want or need. The doors hold a LOT of condiments and drinks and the rest of the fridge is spacious, although we eat a lot of fruit and veggies and wish the crispers were larger. We're also happy we got this Energy Star model. The sticker on the inside says the fridge only consumes 1.2 amps - our old fridge used about 6 so going Energy Star should pay for itself in short order. Oh, and this GE is made in America - not many brands can still say that.

                                        OK, but is noisy and runs a lot
                                        It’s an OK, no frills refrigerator, plenty of interior lighting, but freezer is not lite. The refrigerator runs a lot and is fairly loud. It is NOT compressor noise, more of a fan noise. My unit had a minor, but had to be fixed issue with the foot of the refrigerator that I noticed after delivery. I MUST STRESS, the GE Service was super, quickly scheduled, and the service man was GREAT. I highly recommend GE service based on my personal experience. While at my home I asked the service man about the noise and how often it runs. He confirmed what I found on the internet (subsequent to my purchase) that the high efficiency units such as this one, run a lot and are on the louder side. A thing about maintenance, unlike my old refrigerator where the coils are underneath and vacuumed out from the front, the coils on this unit are located on the back. So cleaning them requires pulling the unit out from the wall, removing the lower panel on the back (several screws), then using compressed air over the coils. Repair man suggested that a vacuum will only get the 1/3 of the coils that are immediately exposed. To get the deeper coils clean, compressed air is required, he also said Canned Compressed Air would be very useful getting the job done, if you don’t have another option. To get the job done, you need to pull the unit out from the wall far enough to get in behind it. So keep that in mind and leave enough extra water line if you should install the optional Ice Maker. When I asked the repair man how often does it need to be cleaned, he asked if I had any pets, I said no, he then said, “every two years.” We’ll see how the 2 year schedule works out. I will definitely be checking after one year to see. I don’t know what the WITH PETS answer is. The power consumption is 73.4 Watts when running, about an incandescent light bulb. See attached picture. Bottom line, I wish it was more quite. It’s almost a deal breaker, but I don’t live in my kitchen, I only have a kitchen because it came with the house. If it didn’t run so much, or was more quite when it does run, I would give it 5 stars, but 1 star off for the noise, and another star off for having to pulling it out to clean it. 3 stars it is.

                                          Best fridge
                                          The best fridge I've ever had, great value for money. I really like the fact that the shelves are very conveniently located and the fact that everything is done very high quality.

                                            Basic fridge does the job
                                            Pro: Clean lines, simple design (less to break over time), stays cool Con: Wish that the “plug” you have to use with it being a dual sided handle option was silver like the door and the GE logo plug used on the freezer door. It’s a matte grey so more noticeable that it needs to be.

                                                    We recently purchased our new GE refrigerator after our old one quit working. We decided to stay with GE since we had the old refrigerator for 32 years. We love our new one and are very pleased with it. Plenty of space. We are hoping to get many years of use out of it. We love GE!!!!!!
