Same Old Refrigerator

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.

Hello,
We're truly sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your refrigerator. We can certainly understand your disappointment and will be sure to share your feedback and concerns with the development team. If you need anything, we're always here to help! Mike@Cafe
The storage space is deceptively small -- we find it difficult to fit all our weekly groceries, there's always multiple piles of groceries stacked upon each other. Further aggravating us is the fact that the ice maker broke after two (2) months of use, and we had difficulty getting GE to service the unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Had this refrigerator for 19 years before we decided to replace it. It was great and the new one is even nicer. Bright inside, easy to open and close, lots of room in the refrigerator. Would like some more room in the freezer but that’s because we have the 42” and not the 48”
A lovely built-in fridge that looks great in our kitchen and is largely quite functional. We've owned for about one year now and going on our 3rd ice-maker. You would think for the price tag, that somehow GE could make a decent ice-maker. Unreal.
Beautiful centerpiece for the kitchen to standout when guest visit our home. Lighting is incredible and most of functionality are as expected. The only suggestion for improvement is ice dispensing speed could be quicker.
We are so happy with our purchase. The smart auto fill feature is our favorite. It’s not loud at all. Makes our kitchen look so good. I do wish the inside would reflect the outside more. The drawers are plastic.
