Overall great refrigerator!
on August 31, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful refrigerator with ample storage and extremely quiet when running. Very well lit with LEDs at every level. Very happy overall with this unit and I would definitely buy again. This unit weighs around 800lbs so plan on having the delivery people install it for you. We attempted to move this unit with 4 big burly guys and had zero success. Leave this one to the pros!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the auto fill water option! I wold rate a 5 star if the ice maker didn’t spill over into the freezer area at times.

Terrible product for the price
on October 28, 2025
Posted by: MF47
from Buffalo, NY
The refridgerator was installed in April 2021. It functioned properly for about a month. After several service calls, Cafe replaced the refridgerator in January 2022, as it was clearly defective. Unfortunately, the same type of problems frequently occur in the replacement. Very loud operation. Ice maker malfunctions. Problems with keeping foods frozen.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
