Refrigerator is OK
on August 5, 2015
Posted by: JimBeckyK
from Forest Hill Maryland
We bought this refrigerator in February, it took over three months to come in to the appliance store for delivery.
It makes a lot of noise.
The shelves don't slide out, I'd prefer if they did.
The shelves also are not easy to adjust and the adjustment choices are limited thus limiting what items can be placed in the box portion of the refrigerator, forcing some things to be placed on the door only. Don't like that.
Worst thing of all is the ice maker design. As the ice falls, or is supposed to fall, into the ice container in the refrigerator, a large portion does not make it and it falls behind the ice bin into the bottom portion of the freeze. Big design flaw. Very poor design. I hate it.
Also, there is not enough lighting in the refrigerator. No light in the freezer, terrible. And, only one bulb in the refrigerator. Ok in the summer with long days, but awful in the colder months with short days. Can't see what is further back in the freezer or refrigerator sections.
Too expensive for the very basic simple features it offers.

I received my refrigerator as a way to conserve energy. But it's not like my previous fridge. It lacks space and ability to rearrange to make more space
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Accessible, but not designed for tall items
on November 5, 2015
Posted by: Billyjoebob
from Eagar, AZ, United States
I went from a 15 year old regular fridge/freezer with ice maker to this new ADA inspired fridge/freezer with ice maker. I prefer the old one. I always have 1 or 2 pitchers of beverages in the fridge, but my pitchers would not fit on a glass shelf until I took out one of the shelves- the shelves are too closely vertically placed. The door shelves are also too closely vertically placed. I was able to use the top door shelf for pitchers, by taking off the butter tray. The door shelves would be a lot more useful if the width of the door was taken up by 2 removable shelves, instead of just one- then one of the shelves could be removed, allowing for a tall object to be placed on the shelf below. The ice maker has a high-pitched squeaky noise when it fills with water, kind of like the noise that can be made from the neck of a balloon. The printed info says to allow 24 hours of ice making before using the ice- I recommend 2 or 3 days, to get more of the plastic taste out of the ice. The freezer is roomy, and will hold a lot of stuff.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Freezer/Ice maker problems
on November 12, 2015
Posted by: Cool cucumber
from VA
Ice forms on rear wall of freezer; ice maker overflows and clumps half of cubes into one chunk; meat drawer is too shallow; no good spot for tall items (pitchers, for example); freezer rack is flimsy and runs entire width, limiting top half of freezer's usable space.
Very basic product, so if you just need lots of space with few features, you might be ok. Glad that it has easy-clean shelving in refrig compartment.
Have had unit about 3 weeks.

Nice size/layout, but noisy, finicky & over-priced
on January 24, 2016
Posted by: jacktheplumber
from Pulaski, WI, United States
4 months ownership and counting, and so far we are pleased with our GIE21GTHWW. (we bought the ice-maker too; can't remember the full model #) We were drawn to this fridge due to its size/layout and its claimed energy-efficiency. Not sure if its truly as efficient as claimed yet, but we do like it.
Pros: Wonderful fridge layout/dimensions inside. Long shelves in door allow lots of storage, bottom door shelf even fits full wine bottles! Top shelf in fridge can hold at least a half dozen gallons of milk! Veggie/fruit bins are large & deep. Plastic parts and general interior are not as sturdy as our 20 yr. old fridge, but they are better quality parts than almost any other new fridge we shopped for (of the top-freezer type).
Cons: This fridge is LOUD - about as noisy as a microwave cooking food - and far louder than our 20 yr. old fridge. With the energy-efficient (i.e. wimpy) compressor and no separate freezer temp. controls, great care is needed in not overloading the freezer (must allow plenty of airflow). If the freezer is too full, the fridge constantly runs which freezes our milk, etc. Price is rather steep for a top-freezer fridge model, but the size/layout definitely seems worth it once we realized how smartly the space inside is designed.
3.5 stars out of 5.
I would recommend this to a friend!
