NOT Happy
on January 31, 2022

There is no way to balance the temperatures between fridge/freezer properly because it has a single dial that only has 5 options, no halfway points, no damper control. To get the freezer at the recommended safe temperature of 0F, I had to set it to 5/5. The temp still ranges up to 10F even without opening the door which reduces storage times. During defrost, the air temp gets up above 41F during the defrost which lasts about 30 minutes and no one can seem to tell me if it's normal. Food gets moisture crystals on the outside and packages get soft temporarily, but food seems to stay frozen at least (except ice cream and bread products get a bit soft). BUT the fridge freezes items because it's at 32/33F. If I turn the dial up to 4/5, then the fridge is fine but the freezer only gets to about 10F max and drops down to 20F randomly... also starts defrosting things (especially after the defrost cycle). So frustrating and worrisome.
Other issue is it's EXTREMELY loud. Like a jet engine. Our kitchen is right beside our bedrooms so it wakes us up at night, and its a small apartment so you can't really escape the noise. I would not have chosen this model, but I am a renter so can't really do much about it. Also for this same reason, I can't fit a separate freezer in here either.
Disappointed because I really like GE. When I used to be a homeowner, we had GE appliances and they worked great. This model doesn't seem to be their usual standard.
The parts I do like is the appearance is good and looks very nice for the price, the meat/snack basket is a helpful feature, lots of room in the door. The gaskets are thick and squishy (not brittle, less likely to crack I think) and though the doors don't really seem to vacuum seal, they do seem to keep cold air in properly. The produce bins are okay - could be a bit roomier, but not the worst I've had. I also like how the shelves don't touch the back wall so it's easier to make sure there's enough room for air circulation. I just don't understand why you can't set the temps properly and why it's so darn loud.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sleek & Simple.

This is a simple, no frills refrigerator/freezer combo that fit perfectly into the compact space that I have available for a refrigerator in my kitchen. I've only had it for 3 days, so I can't say a whole lot about it other than it's exactly as pictured and true to size. My only complaint so far is that the compressor is a bit loud and the whole unit vibrates a little bit (to the point where a few beer bottles inside were clinging together slightly). I believe this issue will go away once the whole unit runs a little longer and settles into it's new home in our kitchen. If it weren't for the initial vibrating and compressor noise, I'd give it a 5 star review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A very nice simple refrigerator
on December 2, 2019

from New York NY
It has very nice features. The cold cut bin can be positioned anywhere you want it. The capacity of the refrigerator is roomy. But like all refrigerators out there they’re basically made of plastic. Not just GE but all. The price was good. It’s a refrigerator are used downstairs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Refrigerator

Great refrigerator to replaced one that's on its last legs. More interior space within a smaller housing. My only regret is the shelving could be spaced better to fit taller items in freezer section.
