Overall this refrigerator is a great value for what you get for its cost. The unit has its pros and cons with the main points listed next. Pros: -This models comes in nice color options with the slate chosen for my purchase. -Unit has glass shelves, which is tough to find on this size refrigerator. -Crisper drawers are a clear plastic for easy viability of contents. -Ability to hook up ice maker is present.
Cons: -Unit can go through short spells of noise when doing a cycle. -Temperature setting has to be set higher than recommended to achieve adequate temperature. (Even when keeping the proper food balance as suggested in owners manual) -The freezer door seal had to be replaced less than one month of ownership as water condensation would form inside freezer at the corners of freezer door. -Leveling legs are difficult to turn. -Slate color is only on the doors, cabinet is solid black.
I would rate this unit a 7 out of 10 score. While it shines in some aspects, it is lacking in others. A little more fine tuning and this unit could easily had been a GE front runner.
I've been using this unit for nearly 3 weeks and I only have one minor issue with it, it's a bit louder than I would like. Other than that It's exactly what I wanted. Refrigerator and freezer are a great size for me. It has the crucial DUEL temp. controls. It has glass shelves. It has reversible door hinges. It is available in black. It has no ice maker. It has just the right amount of door shelves in fridge and freezer. --I use one crisper for fruit and one for veggies and the convenience bin I use for raw meat / poultry. As I said, a bit noisy, but a great unit !! (Like the perfect spouse who talks a little too much - LOL).
I really love this refrigerator. My electric bill went down. It is a great product I only wish the handles were slate too I am always wiping fingerprints from the handles but I love this frig so its not that big of deal.
