Better than imagined

I bought this 33" French Door Ref/Freezer to stay in the Cafe line of products (had recently bought a 30" Cafe Induction range). It upgraded a 9y/o, 29" GE Profile (not a single thing wrong, passed it down to my daughter).
While a family of 4, or more, may find the 18.6 Cu Ft small, a single/couple will find this plenty big enough inside. The lighting is just fantastic. All the corners are well light, even the bottom of the door storage (which, btw, is ample enough to easily fit gallon container).
The freezer isn't huge but it holds my frozen veggies, meats and poultry for at least 2 weeks, left over chili and soups, and 28 days of frozen meal packages for my dog. I can even have some ice cream stored if I turn the ice maker off for a few days. It makes more ice in one day than I can use in over a week.
Over the moon with the counter depth feature. It made quite the difference in the width of my kitchen, but you have to have a small kitchen to truly appreciate that feature, and I do!

Elegant and Sophisticated Refrigerator

from Coral Gable, Florida
The refrigerator fits perfectly into the kitchen we are in the process of remodeling. It looks like elegant furniture that matches our dishwasher and stove. The capacity and shelves for the refrigerator and freezer areas are really large and fits a lot of things The only thing we are missing is the microwave that we had ordered about 4 months ago, which has been on back-order. Once we have that our kitchen will be completed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great looking fridge!

We love Cafe appliances, and we were eager to get our fridge to complete the kitchen. The packaging was amazing, there was no way anything could get scratched or broken - which means our fridge came out of the box picture-perfect. We don't plan to use the ice-maker or the water hook-up, so I can't comment on the ease of connecting those. Plugging it in was all we needed to do! My only reason for giving this fridge 4 stars instead of 4 is the capacity overall, which seems a little less than our old fridge. Additionally, the vegetable/fruit crisper drawers are not very deep, so not that easy to fit in a big head of cauliflower.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beautiful and functional!

I never would have thought I could love an appliance, but here we are. Having a small kitchen leads to a lack of luxury appliance options and so I was thrilled that Cafe had a 18.6 CU refrigerator. Having the freezer on the bottom is very convenient. The lights on the inside a pleasant and bright. I recall reading other reviews that mentioned the capacity of this was small but I think that should be expected with the size. Five stars all around and you should prepare yourself to just stop and admire what a beautiful appliance this is : )

Keeps things cold!

I’m loving this refrigerator and how configurable the shelves can be. The freezer is a little smaller than I expected, though we’re able to pack things in very well, but we couldn’t have gone with a bigger size for the space anyway. Also; it’s a fingerprint magnet, but I suppose that’s normal.

Beautiful Fridge BUT.....
on May 3, 2021
Posted by: Your Designer

I bought a GE cafe package (induction range, microwave & this fridge) and although I love the package and how bold and beautiful it looks in my kitchen I have to give this fridge two stars because of how small it is.
The freezer is so incredibly small and so are the crisper drawers in the fridge. I had to buy a small deep freeze for my garage to make up for the lost freezer space.
I had read the reviews where others mentioned this design flaw, but considering I live alone I thought I would be able to make do....Not so much!
If this freezer is too small for a family of one, there is no way you can live with it and have multiple people in your household. I don’t even eat that much frozen food, a couple of bags of berries and it’s full!
The crisper drawers are also a major disappointment. One head of lettuce and your drawers is nearly full.
The long crisper drawers at the bottom isn’t deep enough for celery or cucumbers to sit front to back, so these have to be turned lengthwise which eats up the whole drawer....can barely even stack a single row.
I am happy with my appliance purchase overall, but this fridge interior needs a serious redesign.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
