Same Old Refrigerator
on July 27, 2021
Posted by: Willie55
from Sacramento, CA
I had a 20 year old Profile version of this Refrigerator. This new one is basically the same one will led lights, different ice maker, auto water fill, water filter and network connection. They removed the butter dish (not sure why.) It is not very energy efficient. I can't get ice to dispense without some landing on the floor. I see no real use for the network connection, the functionality could easily be replace with a few indicators on the front. But I guess that's why, it is easer to bolt on the network app than update the old design. I seem to be suckered into this Refrigerator because the handle matches my new oven.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not impressed
on December 26, 2023

from Mesa, AZ 85207
I previously had a GE Monogram and replaced it after 19 years with the Cafe'. It is extremely noisy and the water dispenser is slow, ounce reader is incorrect and the ice jams often spilling into the freezer.

Cheap quality at an expensive price
on June 17, 2024
Posted by: JohnKr
Read the negative reviews on this fridge here and other sites. Take the negative reviews seriously. Buy something else. I purchased mine in January of 2024. They put a nice shiny box around a bunch of cheap parts. only a 1 year warranty is a red flag. I have had a service tech come out 3 times already. Now they have agreed to replace it but won't have one available until late July. For an 11k fridge, you would not think it'd be breaking down like this. They offered a lower quality option that is available with no compensation for the price difference. It's a shame GE appliances have gone downhill.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

ice machine makes a high pitch small engine noise
on October 4, 2020
Posted by: Stephanieq
from texas
I purchased this months ago and received it sept 26 due to covid, no fault of anyone it took so long. Ice maker is annoying and loud high pitch humming noice like a small engine changing gears. I can not get through to anyone to help. I thought I could get someone to come out and check the ice maker but they are transferring me around and so far Cafe said someone would call me and that has not happened it has been a week
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Beautiful unit but...
on October 6, 2020
Posted by: Prescott remodel
from Prescott, AZ
We were so excited to receive our brand new 58” build in refrigerator. As soon as we got it running we noticed a VERY loud noise coming from the freezer side- it was the ice maker which sounded like it was really to explode- rattling shaking and creating noice we could hear at the other end of our home. We call GE repair they quickly responded by sending out a tech right away. We were told it was a manufacturer’s defect and the ice maker was faulty. We are currently waiting for them to return with a new ice maker unit. Anxious to see how the new unit performs- hopefully quietly!! Other than that we love the look of this unit. We purchased the brushed bronze handles and they are beautiful!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We have tried to figure out why the doors don’t close properly with no success. We have spoiled lots of food. GE repair has been unhelpful. Don’t buy this product

DO NOT BUYd
on September 30, 2023
Posted by: David Jay
DO NOT BUY - We have had this fridge for 6 months and have had to toss out everything twice as a result of it not cooling. They replaced the door seals which look terrible and don't seal and the ice maker never works because the ice is constantly melting and then refreezing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from cafeappliances.comBy Jonathon@CaféCafé AppliancesOctober 2, 2023

Huge disappointment
on October 10, 2023
Posted by: LPM58
It's much noisier than my old Monogram. The ice splashes everywhere and is slow to dispense, the auto feature for water stops at 2 ounces half of the time and you have to push at the exact right spot to get the water to come out. Very disappointed!
Response from cafeappliances.comBy Adrian@CafeOctober 11, 2023
Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are extremely sorry to hear that this refrigerator has not lived up to your expectations due to the ice splashing and the AutoFill feature. This is in no way the consumer experience that we strive for, and we are deeply apologetic. We will be sure to share this feedback with our product design teams, so they can make the necessary improvements.

We are honored to have you as a part of the Cafe Appliances family, and we hope to gain your confidence back with our products. - Adrian@Cafe
